TAMPA, Fla. -- As if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back situation couldnt possibly get any worse, another one likely has been lost for the season. Antone Smith suffered a knee injury in Thursday nights 43-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.Unfortunately, Antone suffered a significant injury and I think that would probably be a season-ending injury, it looks like, head coach Dirk Koetter said Friday. That would be the same for [defensive end] Howard Jones, a season-ending [knee] injury.Smith rushed for 25 yards on five touches, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. He caught three passes for 27 receiving yards before leaving the field on a cart. He was used primarily as the teams third-down back.It is unclear when Jones -- who had five sacks last season -- suffered his injury, but he was seen leaving the locker room on crutches, as was Smith.The Bucs running backs have been decimated by injuries. The teams starter, two-time Pro Bowler Doug Martin, has been out with a hamstring injury since Week 2. His replacement, Charles Sims, was placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury against the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Jacquizz Rodgers, the teams third running back to start a game this season, suffered a sprained foot against the Oakland Raiders in Week 7.Koetter was asked if hed ever seen so many injuries to one position before.I havent seen it, Koetter said. For whatever reason, were being hit hard at two positions. Running back and defensive end have been the positions that weve been hit really hard on. Other teams in the league have their issues at different positions, but Ive never seen where were a one-back team and we have four running backs go in one year. Ive never seen that.Tampa Bays defensive line has been hit especially hard by injuries. In Week 5, the Buccaneers were missing three of four starters along the defensive front.

Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Central Coast star Fabio Ferreira is hopeful of breaking his goal drought in one of the biggest fixtures of the Mariners A-League calendar - the F3 derby against Newcastle.Ferreira hasnt scored since coming back from a hamstring injury in round three, and has been substituted in all four games upon his return.However the Portugese attacker has put the onus on himself to break his duck when the ninth-placed Mariners meet eighth-placed neighbours Newcastle on Sunday.Im hanging for a goal, Im craving for a goal very bad, Ferreira said on Tuesday.Obviously I try to score, to create, its not going to be different things game. Hopefully I start scoring and create some assists. Ill do my best, hopefully no injury.A win would also help the Mariners bounce back after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Wellington last-start that coach Paul Okon labelled their worst performance of the season.Ferreira admitted the tteam was off the pace against Phoenix in Canberra but is confident the local derby will bring the best out of the playing group.ddddddddddddThe Mariners are winless in their past five clashes against the Jets and havent won in Broadmeadow since December 2012.Everyone was a bit flat (against Wellington), just disappointing. Hopefully we dont repeat that and next game were more energetic and we can take the three points, he said.You just want to win a derby. Itll be a very important game for us to win, we want to win it at all costs. Hopefully well be strong and mentally prepared to a big game.With the fans around you trying to support, it means a lot for us players and gives them more desire to try to win the game. Hopefully the fans travel to Newcastle and support us. ' ' '
