The Buccaneers placed Bredeson (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Bredeson left last Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Saints early with a knee injury and did not return. The offensive guard will now have to miss the remainder of the regular season as part of the minimum four-game IR stint before potentially being able to return to the Buccaneers in January if they make the postseason. Michael Jordan is set to start at left guard in Bredeson's absence.

Buccaneers' Ben Bredeson: Ominous start to practice week
Rotowire
Bredeson (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.
Bredeson hurt his hamstring Sunday against New England and didn't play after suffering the injury in the first quarter. It's obviously not a good sign that he was deemed a DNP to begin this week of prep, though he could have a chance to play this Sunday versus Buffalo if he's able to practice in some capacity before the weekend. If Bredeson is ultimately held out against the Bills, Michael Jordan could start at left guard.
