Bucs' Luke Goedeke Expected to Miss Multiple Weeks After Foot Setback

Charlie Heck replaces him as Tampa Bay evaluates a thin tackle group with Tristan Wirfs still rehabbing.

Overview

  • The Buccaneers ruled right tackle Luke Goedeke out of the Week 2 win over the Texans with a foot injury, and multiple reports say he avoided major damage but is expected to miss time.
  • Goedeke re-aggravated a foot issue that limited his practice participation last week after passing a pregame assessment to play on Monday night.
  • With Goedeke out and Tristan Wirfs rehabbing a knee, Tampa Bay finished the game without its starting tackles and leaned on a reshuffled front featuring Graham Barton and Ben Bredeson.
  • Veteran Charlie Heck took over at right tackle and delivered a key block on a touchdown; he is the likely starter for the Jets game, per reports.
  • Injuries continue to mount up front, as head coach Todd Bowles said guard Cody Mauch missed practice with a knee issue, while no injured reserve move has been announced for Goedeke and Calijah Kancey sustained a season-ending pectoral tear.
