Report: Luke Goedeke Likely Out Sunday
September 19th, 2024Luke Goedeke could not go at Detroit last week because of a concussion. And the Bucs sorely missed their right tackle in Detroit.
A report this afternoon suggests Goedeke will not play this weekend, either.
Per J.C. Allen of SI.com, Goedeke is unlikely to clear concussion protocol by Sunday. If so, Goedeke would miss his second straight game.
His backup, Justin Skule, was simply abused by Aidan Hutchinson Sunday. Fortunately for the Bucs, the Broncos do not have a talent on the defensive line like Hutchinson.

Justin Skule gonna rise and shine against the Broncos
I guarantee it
September 19th, 2024 at 4:55 pm
Let him rest. It’s a good week to let him and Vita rest up.
September 19th, 2024 at 4:58 pm
The broncos have no pass rushers. That should help.
September 19th, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Calling Walton….come in….put up the Bakefield signal….
September 19th, 2024 at 5:07 pm
Deep doo doo!!!
September 19th, 2024 at 5:08 pm
HC Grover, Walton was pure garbage in the preseason this year….
I’m thinking either Hainsey goes or rookie Elijah Klein.
Klein is such a wall, I’d definitely like to see him play.
Definitely not Skule again
September 19th, 2024 at 5:11 pm
If he’s the difference in the game the Bucs aren’t legit. Bucs 34, Broncos 10
September 19th, 2024 at 5:24 pm
I’ve always wanted to TRY football….
September 19th, 2024 at 5:24 pm
Great teams overcome any adversity
September 19th, 2024 at 5:26 pm
Felt sorry for Skule last Sunday. He tried his best though.
September 19th, 2024 at 5:26 pm
The broncos defense is probably better than the lions yikes not great news at all.
September 19th, 2024 at 5:29 pm
Not surprising. Only 6% of concussions heal within two weeks. Heal up completely! Hope you are symptom free soon.
September 19th, 2024 at 5:30 pm
60% of concussions****
September 19th, 2024 at 5:30 pm
Jesus. Funny helmets huh. U might want to wear them.
Can’t pass protocols.
What’s up Fancy taking is 4 week break again Jesus.
Ohh the helmets look weird.
September 19th, 2024 at 5:35 pm
Get an extra blocker in there. Withe and Otten are not the ones. Who?

LOL!
If the guard play doesn’t pickup soon, I’d like to see Klein get a shot.
Just need to survive one more game and we’ll be back in good health I think.
September 19th, 2024 at 5:48 pm
Hopefully Coen learned something instead of letting Skule get abused
September 19th, 2024 at 5:59 pm
DS – He didn’t learn enough.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:00 pm
Did we ever see the play that caused the concussion?
September 19th, 2024 at 6:07 pm
Ugh Skule pretty sure most Bucs fans could run through that guy.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:11 pm
Bucs will be fine on Sunday. Broncos blitz 57% of the time. That’s 21 % more than the next closest team. They leave their CB’s on an island often. Screens and slants will be open all day long. Bucky will get yards on the ground. The play action pass game or roll outs with Mike or Chris one on one the bucs will feast on Sunday.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:14 pm
O line was way overrated to begin with. Goedeke was never as good as advertised, Mauch is usually awful and Barton is a rookie. Depth is obviously inadequate. People shouldn’t be shocked by what we are seeing unless you believed the hype. Time to recalibrate expectations.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:18 pm
I’ll have that sour feeling in my stomach every snap. Same feeling I get when I realize the scotch bottle is empty on my worse.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:28 pm
Bucsfan1988 … Klein was a Guard in college and it seems like that’s what we’re training him as here. Hopefully Skule has a much better game if Goedeke can’t go. But if not, my guess is that they’d probably replace Skule with Mauch and slide Klein into his Guard position.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:28 pm
Randy Gregory just got signed back to the broncos to hot box the locker room
September 19th, 2024 at 6:29 pm
RagingBrisket … ‘People shouldn’t be shocked by what we are seeing unless you believed the hype. Time to recalibrate expectations.’
It’s gonna take time for this OLine to gel. Injuries don’t help.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:35 pm
Gonna miss our big German. Strongest guy on the O Line.
I think Justin Skule needs another start. Don’t want him dwelling on thLionsgame too long. Pretty sure he’ll have a point to prove.
Still gonna miss Goedeke
September 19th, 2024 at 6:37 pm
Raging Brisket I believe I’ll pass on recalibrating my expectations. Somehow we’ve got an offensive line that’s won 8 of their last 10 games. And a QB who they have looking like an MVP candidate. That O-Line room has to be pissed off. They are kind of new together but they hang on and fight. True they have a ways to go to be above average. But they will get better with each game. That’s my expectation.
September 19th, 2024 at 6:59 pm
Luke, for God’s sake please wear the Guardian Cap when you get back.
September 19th, 2024 at 7:03 pm
I’ve had several concussions, it was considered to be comical back in those days if you took a helmet to the side of the head and didn’t know where you were. Was it worth it? No.
September 19th, 2024 at 7:08 pm
I believe in Justin Skule
September 19th, 2024 at 7:16 pm
Bucs know better than all of us. Skule is the best guy we have on the roster, or they would consider other guys on our squad to start in favor of him.
Amazing how difficult it is to find depth at tackle.
September 19th, 2024 at 7:20 pm
Didn’t this happen during practice last week?
Or did they find out after the game and just weren’t required to report it til mid week?
Zyon got cleared the day before, so maybe Luke will have the same luck.
Agree about the Guardian caps. With the team logo covers on top of them, you can barely tell anyways.
September 19th, 2024 at 7:30 pm
@DR
C Mauch at T and Klein at G makes too much sense. We’ll never do that. Skule will be out there embarrassing himself and others. Maybe they put Hainsey next to him as a TE. We should be better than the Broncos even with the weak sisters. They better stop playing fast and loose with Baker’s health though. Losing Luke for a game or two shouldn’t be this big a disruption. Losing Baker for half the season from no protection tanks the season. We need to be smarter IMO.
September 19th, 2024 at 7:41 pm
LG67 will be missed!!!! VV50, CK94, and AW31 haven’t practiced all week either, For them it doesn’t look to good! LH90, WG92, and JH32 practiced limited today, for them there’s some sort of hope of playing Sunday.
NEXT MAN UP!!! Again ! The younger Bucs need to step up once more!
September 19th, 2024 at 7:43 pm
Need Hainsey or someone else. Skule doesn’t have the footwork or ability to lock up anyone. It’s not going to be pretty if he plays RT. Mauch can’t play guard, don’t think he would do much better at RT. Unfortunately Skule is the backup for both Wirfs and Goedeke , why Jason? lol.
September 19th, 2024 at 7:59 pm
O no smh. Just broncos but sheese. Was hoping we didn’t have to go to skule again bout what a premier pass rusher looks like against one of worst backup tackles in league history lol. Backup tackle and maybe a stud tight end top Offensive needs in off-season.
September 19th, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Anybody but #77. #41, waiver wire, … sumthin, anyone else
September 19th, 2024 at 8:16 pm
Start wearing the padded helmets, this is not a fashion show its football, protect the brain.
September 19th, 2024 at 8:38 pm
THIS IS NOW A DIFFERENT STORY …
Getting your bell rung is one thing. Having a concussion that takes you out for two weeks is another. In fact, it’s scary. Brain damage can be irreparable. We should be saying a little prayer for Goe. I hope he’s okay.
September 19th, 2024 at 8:43 pm
Prayers for Goedeke
September 19th, 2024 at 9:18 pm
Is there any reason that I am not allowed to contribute to this message board?
September 19th, 2024 at 9:33 pm
Some years ago, my son came home from wrestling practice, said he had a headache, wanted some Tylenol. I thought nothing of it. He went to school and wrestling practice again the next day. I got a call that he’d “gotten his bell rung.” Turns out he’d been concussed on successive days. His wrestling coach (played for the Colts and Chargers) didn’t think you could get a concussion wrestling. Anyway, he had to stay home, sitting in the dark, no light, no sound, for a month… these concussions are serious and they have to heal…
September 19th, 2024 at 9:34 pm
I’m guessing that I disagreed with Joe on a topic, when I mostly agree with him and totally respect him and his takes. Does this website want a bunch of yes men, can’t take a difference of opinion now and then?
Really???
I am probably the oldest supporter of Buccaneer football on this site. If not, I’m in the top three maybe? Sat in that stadium in 1976. Mid 60’s here age wise. Over 30 years season ticket holder.
Jimmy DuBose first Buc to rush for 100 yards, Sarasota High Graduate, graduated with my sister. Dave Pear first Buc to go to the pro bowl, beware of the bear were the signs hanging at the end zone walls back in those days. I have seen it all.
September 19th, 2024 at 9:41 pm
The doctors need to understand hes always been off his rocker and we love him for it. Lol…But seriously I hope hes okay.
September 19th, 2024 at 10:08 pm
Commit to the run. Put Ko Kieft in the game. He can be the extra blocker we need in the run game and help Skule on passing downs
September 19th, 2024 at 10:15 pm
RGA, there’s a few oldtimer fans like yourself on here. I found out the Bucs existed in 1979 so I’m not in that group. Skule or no Skule, Bucs have no excuses losing this game Sunday.
September 19th, 2024 at 10:20 pm
Maybe they should wear the guardian caps with a cover–saw one of the players on the Patriots team wearing one hard to tell with the cover on it. It did not look weird. If it helps maybe we would have less players out for 2 or more weeks at a time and less concussions.
September 19th, 2024 at 10:21 pm
Marpet vibes on this one, not sure we’ll see Goedeke again.
September 19th, 2024 at 11:07 pm
prediction:
skule settles in and has a decent game…
i didn’t say good, i said decent
let the glass eater rest up for another week – simply too much guaranteed head contact as an o-lineman

I agree. No way Coen doesn’t address this somehow. Don’t be surprised to see Skule out there 1 on 1 some against Denver though. I’m sure the plan is to establish a run game (again) but I imagine (hope) Coen will make calls based on what the defense is doing. If they “sell out” to stop the run he needs to let Baker “sling it” all over the yard. No way Skule and the line can stink that bad again, surely.
September 20th, 2024 at 3:07 am
Why do we have to get this information from some hack from SI? Don’t we have people here that cover the Bucs on a daily basis in Tampa? Go Bucs!
September 20th, 2024 at 6:29 am
I think the biggest reason so many ex players become drooling Bidens by their mid-50’s, is back then if you were concussed, you shrugged it off and went right back and out knocking heads. Thankful that isn’t happening (as much) anymore
September 20th, 2024 at 6:39 am
So we have Kancey and Luke out for multiple weeks with 2 mysterious injuries that nobody could tell you where or how they happened.
Sounds about par for the course.
September 20th, 2024 at 6:54 am
2 concussions playing football in Highschool. One worst than the other. You definitely go into a foggy state for about 2 to 3 weeks. And eventually the lights turn on. The fan in me wants to say suck it up,
They sympathetic side says get rest and enjoy watching Skule get ass whopped off the line
September 20th, 2024 at 9:12 am
“”LG67 will be missed!!!! VV50, CK94, and AW31 haven’t practiced all week either, For them it doesn’t look to good! “”
CK94 won’t be missed. He’s never been on the field to be missed.
September 20th, 2024 at 9:24 am
Always trying to find that positive shining light, the one positive from Skule getting beat like he stole Hutchinson’s money will be a positive going against everyone lesser than Hutchinson. If he prepares and takes on the defensive lineman across from him on the broncos like he did Hutchinson Skule shall rule the Day
September 20th, 2024 at 9:40 am
Skule was garbage and should jot start. They would be wise to replace him. Hutch went against a backup in week 1, had only 1 sack
Skule was abused all game. Maybe Mauch isnt as good as we thought as well. Hope these guys get a wake up call.
September 20th, 2024 at 9:42 am
Also, any given Sunday dont take the Broncos lightly. This is what happened last year when they lost 6 straight. Thought they had it in the bag then started bleeding losses vs some beatable teams. Cant take some weaker teams for granted. The Broncos do not want to go 0-3 and will be trying to play one of their best games of their season.
September 20th, 2024 at 10:22 am
Has ANYBODY reported on how and when this concussion occurred?
September 20th, 2024 at 11:31 am
Broncos trade for Aiden Hutchinson
Oh, No!
/sarc

We have 2 sacks on the year Denver has 4.
September 20th, 2024 at 1:46 pm
Let Luke and Vita rest. Skule will look much better Sunday.
