Shipley (neck) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley is facing a career-threatening injury. Coach Bruce Arians acknowledged as much and mentioned in his comments to the media that Shipley would transition to become a coach on his staff. Shipley has yet to formally retire, though it sounds as if his days on the field are over.

Shipley's neck injury may result in the end of his professional football career, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Penn State product was recently inserted into the starting lineup in place of Ryan Jensen, who slid over to left guard. Shipley was forced out of Monday's loss to the Rams late in the fourth quarter with what was initially believed to be a stinger, but it turns out the issue may be much more serious. "A.Q. Shipley appears to have had a career-ending injury," coach Bruce 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." Tampa Bay may need to find a way to again reshuffle its offensive line until Ali Marpet (concussion) is able to return, but the most pressing concern is clearly for Shipley's long-term well-being.

Shipley signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley played for head coach Bruce Arians in Arizona, and now he's poised to be Ryan Jensen's backup center in 2020.

Shipley (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley is expected to start at center in this contest.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Shipley will be the team's starting center, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley was able to beat out Mason Cole for the job, as Kingsbury prefers Cole as a depth lineman rather than a starter. Shipley, a Penn State product, regains his role, as he's started all 16 games at center for the team the past two seasons.

Shipley (ACL) participated in team and individual drills in OTAs on Wednesday, Bob McManaman of Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is huge news for a player that missed all of last season with a torn ACL. Shipley also signed a one-year extension, which is certainly a positive sign of Arizona's confidence in his recovery. If he can keep getting healthy, the 32-year-old is all but guaranteed a role in the team's O-line this season.

Shipley (ACL) signed a one-year contract extension Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley landed on IR earlier this offseason after suffering a season-ending ACL tear, so a one-year extension is a positive sign of Arizona's confidence in Shipley's recovery. The 32-year-old is now locked up through the Cardinals' 2019 season, and is all but guaranteed a starting or depth role in the team's O-line next year if he can get healthy.

The Cardinals moved Shipley (ACL) to injured reserve Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Saturday's practice session, so it was only a matter of time before the shift to injured reserve was made official. Mason Cole has been named the team's new starting center in his absence.

Shipley suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Saturday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley, a 32-year-old who struggled in the starting role last season, will head to IR shortly and stands to become a free agent next spring. Shipley's unfortunate injury paves the way for 2018 third-rounder Mason Cole to slide into the starting lineup. Evan Boehm and Daniel Munyer are expected to serve as backups to Cole.

Shipley was carted off the field during Saturday's practice after suffering an apparent left leg injury, Craig Grialou of AZCardinals.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shipley was unable to travel from the field to the locker room under his own power, which isn't a promising sign as details surrounding his status await. Mason Cole filled in at center during Shipley's absence.
