Tampa Bay Buccaneers center A.Q. Shipley, who has been filling in as a starter over the past two weeks, may not only be done for the season but also for his career with a neck injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.  This according to coach Bruce Arians.

"A.Q. Shipley appears to have had a career-ending injury," Arians told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Wednesday. "And I feel bad because I love A.Q. He's one of my favorite players of all time and was playing good for us. But I think it was a previous injury that might have just got aggravated in his neck."

Shipley left Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams late in the fourth quarter, just before quarterback Tom Brady was intercepted on the final drive. Arians initially believed the injury was a stinger. It turns out it's much worse for the veteran signed specifically to help protect Brady should injuries affect the offensive line.
