Shorts left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and will not return, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shorts' career has been absolutely marred by injuries, specifically hamstring ones, so this is not the news that the Buccaneers were hoping for. Consequently, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Shorts miss time if his injury is severe enough. He is currently listed as the fifth receiver on the depth chart, so if Shorts is forced to miss time, it shouldn't shake up Tampa Bay's wide receiver pecking order too much.
