Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team as he continues to deal with a medical issue.<\/p>\n
Tedford had been working on a limited basis through the season’s first three weeks while recovering from his procedure, which NFL.com reported to be a coronary angioplasty that was performed in August.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers’ offense has been problematic without Tedford calling plays over the team’s initial three games — all losses. Tampa Bay currently ranks 30th in total yards and last in passing yards, while quarterback Josh McCown has thrown four interceptions.<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay mustered a paltry 217 total yards and 10 first downs with quarterbacks coach Marcus Arroyo operating as the primary play-caller in Thursday’s 56-14 shellacking by Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Arroyo will collaborate with the rest of the Bucs’ offensive staff to form game plans during Tedford’s absence.<\/p>\n
Tedford, who served as the head coach at the University of California from 2002-11, was hired as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
