The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed rookie receiver Arrelious Benn on injured reserve and promoted defensive tackle Doug Worthington from the practice squad.

Benn tore a ligament in his left knee during last Sunday's 38-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The second-round draft pick started eight of 14 games, finishing with 25 receptions for 395 yards and two touchdowns.

Worthington signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in November. He was Pittsburgh's seventh-round pick in the draft.
