Bucs Nation
The Buccaneers offensive line is taking another huge hit while still feeling the absence of star left tackle Tristan Wirfs. Per Bucs beat writer Greg Auman, recently-extended right tackle Luke Goedeke is being placed on injured reserve with a foot injury.
Against the Texans on Monday Night Football, Goedeke tried to play through the injury but ultimately left the game after just 12 plays. Now, he’ll miss the next four games at minimum.
While Goedeke is sidelined, the Bucs will turn to Charlie Heck and likely Graham Barton to be the team’s left and right tackles. Which one plays which will be determined this week, but Heck looked good in place of Goedeke on Monday night.
With their second starting tackle sidelined, it’s likely the Bucs look outward to sign a body off the street, as well. Luckily, the Bucs have a nice 2-0 start to lean on as they try and navigate the next month without one of their best blockers.
