"Tampa Bay was on the road to face Houston. It took a game-winning touchdown drive for the Buccaneers to escape with a narrow 20-19 victory. While the team is 2-0, Tampa Bay's offensive line continues to be ravaged by injuries. To begin the season, the team knew they would be without LT Tristan Wirfs. He's recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery in July. Additionally, RT Luke Goedeke suffered an injury in Week 2."
"The #Bucs OL, a big strength, has been ravaged by injuries: Tristan Wirfs has yet to play with a knee injury, RT Luke Goedeke is dealing with a foot injury, and now G Cody Mauch is out for the year. They also just lost DT Calijah Kancey for the season with a pectoral injury. https://t.co/ePq3m60XWX - Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) September 18, 2025"
"Tampa Bay had to shuffle its offensive line, knowing Wirfs will miss time. Starting center Cody Barton is playing left tackle. Ben Bredeson was originally playing guard and is now playing center. Mike Jordan was elevated from the practice squad and is playing left guard. Cody Mauch and Luke Goedeke were at their natural positions to begin the season. Bucs starting right guard Cody Mauch suffered a season-ending knee injury Monday night, per source."
Tampa Bay begins 2025 at 2-0 but faces major offensive-line attrition. LT Tristan Wirfs is sidelined after arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected back near Week 7. RT Luke Goedeke is dealing with a foot injury. Starting right guard Cody Mauch sustained a season-ending knee injury and will require surgery. The team also lost DT Calijah Kancey for the season with a pectoral tear. Coaching staff shuffled linemen: Cody Barton moved to left tackle, Ben Bredeson shifted to center, and Mike Jordan was elevated to left guard. The Buccaneers plan roster moves to shore up depth while coping with mounting injuries.
