The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed starting safety Christian Izien on injured reserve Thursday, likely ending his season.
Izien, 24, sustained a pectoral injury during last Sunday’s 26-24 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.
The second-year player has 75 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble in 14 games (10 starts) this season.
Undrafted out of Rutgers in 2023, he tallied 65 tackles and two interceptions in 17 games (four starts) as a rookie.
He must sit out a minimum of four games, meaning the Bucs (8-7) would have to make the playoffs and win at least two postseason games for Izien to have a chance to return this season.
