Injury Situation Grows Worse
September 11th, 2024We knew all about the defensive players the Bucs lost last week. But the list of walking wounded, including offensive players, has grown.
Facing an opponent that relishes being physical and pounding people at the line of scrimmage, now is not the time to lose more linemen.
So right tackle Luke Goedeke and defensive lineman Will Gholston popping up on today’s injury report scares Joe. Goedeke apparently is dealing with a concussion. Gholston has a foot issue.
The Bucs are already down defensive tackle Calijah Kancey and possibly Logan Hall, who did not play in the season-opening win over Washington.
Also, physical linebacker K.J. Britt was limited with an unspecified illness.
The Bucs need all hands on deck Sunday in Detroit. Here is the full injury report:
Limited
Linebacker K.J. Britt, Illness; William Gholston, elbow; Luke Goedeke, concussion; Logan Hall foot; Zyon McCollum (CB), Concussion.
Did Not Practice
Cornerback Josh Hayes, ankle; Calijah Kancey, calf; Antoine Winfield, foot.

There’s only a 1 in 8 chance both Luke and Zyon get cleared to play this weekend.
Not good. Not good. Hopefully Haggard is prepared to step up.

Regressing to the mean on injuries? It seemed like the Bucs had fewer injuries last season.
September 11th, 2024 at 4:53 pm
Damn! Didn’t take long for the injury bug to bite us in the arse. Hopefully those concussion issues will be short lived and those listed as limited in practice will be good to go come game time. Hope we’ve got a strong set of defensive players on our practice squad.

Any player who gets a concussion should have to wear the Gazoo helmet for the rest of the season. Make it a league rule, if the owners are serious about protecting players.

Good to see ZM27 and LG67 at least doing limited practice. In a perfect world, both could be cleared from concussion protocol by game day! It will be tough if either or both miss Sunday’s game!
September 11th, 2024 at 5:04 pm
Joe please do yourself and the rest of us a favor and stay away from the injury report for a few days. Every time I see that Red Cross logo I start feeling pain surging across my chest. Besides, do you really want my demise on your conscience? If I’m going to start pushing up daisies it would be nice if I could at least make it through to the end of the season.

Week 1: 1/4th of the Defense is Injured
K.J. Britt, Logan Hall, Zyon McCollum, Calijah Kancey, Antoine Winfield
William Gholston, Josh Hayes
Those some big names at all three levels, too. Wow!
September 11th, 2024 at 5:15 pm
I told you guys a couple days ago this game is gonna be bloodbath.
Losing our RT is only going to make it worse.
Oh well, long season ahead, even if this weekend is gonna suck.
September 11th, 2024 at 5:39 pm
Any Lions injuries?!
September 11th, 2024 at 5:56 pm
This news is really painful. I wonder if Britt’s illness is what our kicker had a week ago?
September 11th, 2024 at 5:59 pm
The Gazoo helmet would be a good idea for both players. It doesn’t have to be a league rule the team could demand it, or not play. You would hope both players would have the common sense to wear one next time they take the field.

Offensive tackle is the area where we have the least depth. We need both Luke and Tristan to stay healthy so we can keep Baker upright.
September 11th, 2024 at 6:18 pm
Heal up boys, we need ya!
September 11th, 2024 at 6:35 pm
It just seems like this year is going to be lots and lots of injuries. This goes along with not hitting all summer and not playing in pre-season. You’re bound to get injuries when you don’t hit.
This is just the norm now for the game of football.
September 11th, 2024 at 7:27 pm
How good is Vegas odds makers. Wow
September 11th, 2024 at 7:29 pm
I’m afeared, we be forkened.
September 11th, 2024 at 7:47 pm
Something is very wrong with this team to have this many injuries thru 1 lousy game. You’re doing SOMETHING wrong at 1 Buc Palace.
Ridiculous.

Ira!!!!!
September 11th, 2024 at 8:45 pm
Rub some dirt on it and get in the game.
September 11th, 2024 at 8:47 pm
Goedeke got a used last year at Detroit but was definitely on an improvement curve. Who’s gonna replace him at RT? If Baker goes down might as well just punt on first down and hope for turnovers.
September 11th, 2024 at 8:55 pm
The concussed players are likely held out Sunday, but good to go week 3. Britt prob recovers from illness and plays. IDK how bad Hall, Gholston, and Hayes are… they are all a question mark to play Sunday. Possibly available week3 against Broncos. It’s very unlikely Kancey can play…when he pulled the same calf last year he was out all of camp/preseason and first couple regular season games, so I expect him out 4-6 weeks. Winfield is definitely out, I expect 4+ weeks. .
September 11th, 2024 at 9:17 pm
dick butkus would have drank a miller light and played the game
September 11th, 2024 at 10:17 pm
When did Goedeke get a concussion??
September 11th, 2024 at 10:25 pm
At least Goedeke and Zyon were limited on Wednesday, so got that going for us…let’s beat the Lions
September 11th, 2024 at 10:53 pm
Wisecrack take that back !!
September 11th, 2024 at 11:43 pm
Big picture: this was a road loss versus non division opponent anyway on the schedule versus a team we don’t want to show our hand against in the playoffs anyway. Let the offense pad some stats and get off the field, get some back ups experience across the board then welcome Denver for a win.
September 12th, 2024 at 1:42 am
Maybe we can just forfeit get wvey1 healthy win nfc south instead worry about lions when healthy it really isn’t a bad strategy
September 12th, 2024 at 6:42 am
So when does the fragile handle with care glass tiger Kancey coming back from another calf injury?
End of September? Haloween? Dude is gonna be another Russell Gage.
September 12th, 2024 at 8:23 am
It’s almost as if resting the starters in preseason did no good at all.
To those saying this game doesn’t matter…get outage here with that junk!
Every game matters!
September 12th, 2024 at 8:53 am
Wish we were healthier but with 17 games need to take long term approach and not rush anyone back
September 12th, 2024 at 8:57 am
If this goes south fast, we may have to punt this game. No McCollum, no Hall, Winfield out. Interior D line a mess, O line limited. We’re a sitting duck in their house. We could play for a shoot out from the starting gun. No holds barred. Maybe play Trask if we get too far behind. Please save Baker.
September 12th, 2024 at 9:10 am
Damn we are only in week 2 and we already need a bye week to heal the injured.
September 12th, 2024 at 3:35 pm
Concussions at practice are not acceptable. Put the stupid guardian hats on!
September 12th, 2024 at 7:51 pm
Don’t be disappointed in Detroit. The lions are a very good team guys.Very good.
