Logs full practice Goedeke (foot) was a full participant at Friday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official website reports.

Impact After a limited practice session Thursday, Goedeke was able to take on a full workload Friday, which indicates he is on track to suit up for the team's Week 13 matchup with the Saints. Barring any setbacks at Saturday's practice, look for him to resume his usual role at left guard.

Sidelined again for Week 12 Goedeke (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Goedeke has missed each of Tampa Bay's last three contests due to a foot injury, and he'll now make it four straight following this weekend's matchup in Cleveland. In his absence, Nick Leverett should continue filling in as the team's starting left guard.

Not making trip to Munich Goedeke (foot) won't travel to Germany for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact This comes as no surprise after Goedeke failed to practice in any capacity Wednesday and Thursday. He'll miss his third game as a result of a foot injury, but the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye could position him to return to action Week 12 at Cleveland if he makes enough progress in his recovery. With Goedeke unavailable this weekend, Nick Leverett (illness) would be next in line to start at left guard.

Out for Week 9 Goedeke (foot) has been ruled out for Week 9 versus the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Goedeke will miss a second consecutive game while he nurses the foot injury he suffered in Week 7 against the Panthers. Nick Leverett will draw another start at left guard while Goedeke shifts his focus to being ready to go for Week 10 versus Seattle.

Ruled out for Week 8 Goedeke (lower leg) has been ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 8 matchup with the Ravens on Thursday Night Football, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Goedeke suffered a lower leg injury in Week 7 versus the Panthers and will now be forced to miss at least one contest while nursing the injury. Nick Leverett will take over at left guard in Thursday's game.

In walking boot Goedeke (lower leg) was in a walking boot after Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Panthers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Goedeke is claiming the injury was not a factor in losing time to Nick Leverett during the game, but he's clearly dealing with some kind of issue to his lower leg. The Buccaneers have a short week and will host the Ravens on Thursday, so Goedeke will likely need to heal quickly if he's going to suit up for the game.

Not ready for starting role? Goedeke, who is a candidate to step into the starting left guard role vacated by Aaron Stinnie's season-ending knee injury, committed two holding penalties and a sack in Saturday n...

Impact The rookie second-round pick's struggles are just part of the Buccaneers' offensive line's bleak state at the moment, with Stinnie's injury Saturday night the latest domino to fall in what has been a difficult summer for the unit. With starting center Ryan Jensen (knee) also out for multiple months, players like Goedeke will inevitably be thrust into action before they're fully prepared and will be forced to learn on the job, which could naturally impact the continuity of the offense as a whole despite a bounty of talent at the skill positions.

2022 NFL Draft Grades: Falcons earn top NFC South mark

The Falcons' draft class continues their rebuild moving in the right direction in an evolving NFC South, Rob Rang writes.

MAY 6, 2022

Scooped by Tampa Bay The Buccaneers selected Goedeke in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 57th overall.

Impact Tampa Bay continues to invest in the trenches in the second round, taking a defensive lineman to start the round and circling back with Goedeke out of Central Michigan, who goes before teammate Bernhard Raimann. Goedeke started his career as a tight end at UW-Stevens Point before transferring to Central Michigan and transitioning to the line. He started every game that he played for the Chippewas but missed 2020 due to injury. Goedeke has the ability to play guard or tackle but likely profiles at guard with his new team.
