Liufau (knee), who completed 16 of 28 passes for 170 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Thursday's preseason contest against the Redskins before suffering an injury, is expected to be waived by the Bucs and subsequently revert to injured reserve, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Liufau also rushed three times for nine yards in what was by far his most extensive action of the preseason. As per Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, Liufau's injury is considered relatively minor, so he will revert to non-season-ending injured reserve. Factoring in Liufau's status and Ryan Griffin's shoulder injury, the Bucs appear likely to head into Week 1 with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick as the only other healthy quarterback on the roster outside of Jameis Winston.
