The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose punter Dirk Johnson for the year

The Buccaneers have lost starting punter Dirk Johnson for the season due to a severe hamsting injury.  Johnson played in all 11 games for the Bucs this season and he punted the ball 62 times for 2,558 yards (41.3 avg).  He only had 3 touchbacks (4.8%) and he placed the ball inside the opposing 20 yard line 16 times (25.8%) this year.  The Bucs will be signing a new punter this week but he will be hard pressed to do as good of a job as Johnson was.
