Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Bucs’ initial fear is right guard Davin Joseph will miss the entire season after suffering a left knee injury in Friday night’s preseason game against New England.

Holder cites “early word from the locker room,” which suggested Joseph suffered a significant injury that will likely lead to his placement on year-ending injured reserve.

Per Holder, Joseph is scheduled for further testing.

Ted Larsen is next up on the depth chart at right guard. Larsen started 11 games as a rookie in 2010, but lost his starting job in 2011.
