The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting some injury to go along with the insult of Sunday's road loss to the New Orleans Saints, but the toughness of one of their starters has to be recognized.

Following the Bucs' 31-24 loss, head coach Bruce Arians revealed that starting right guard Alex Cappa suffered a broken arm in the second quarter, but played the rest of the game anyway.

A third-round pick out of Humboldt State in the 2018 NFL draft, Cappa spent his rookie year as a reserve before starting the 2019 season as the Bucs' starter at right guard. He held his own against Aaron Donald in a Week 4 road upset of the Los Angeles Rams, but now will be out a few weeks despite finishing Sunday's game with his injury.

The Bucs will likely look to veteral Earl Watford, who has starting experience from his time spent with the Arizona Cardinals when Arians was the head coach there, to fill his void in the starting lineup.
