Rex Ryan: The Bucs are old and slow (1:05)

Rex Ryan doesn't believe in a quick fix to the problems. Affirmative.

The Pro Bowl defensive back is likely to miss Thursday's game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion.

He was hurt in the third quarter against Carolina when he tackled Blackshear.

One of the best players on the team is Winfield. He transitioned from a nickelback to a safety last year and still lines up as a safety about 30% of the time.

It's a huge blow to a 3-4 team that has dropped four out of its past five games and has already been without several members of its defense.

Ryan had foot surgery last week and was placed on injured reserve with the hope of returning in time for the playoffs.

Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting has missed the past two weeks with a quad injury, but he is now running, a sign that he is getting better.

Carlton Davis missed the Carolina game due to a hip injury he sustained in the Pittsburgh game.

Russell Gage's status for Thursday night's game is up in the air as he undergoes an exam on his injured left leg.
