Cade Otton Is Out For Cowboys Game

Saturday, December 21st, 2024

Out.

Not good news for a guy who is key to the Bucs offense and is having a career year.

Tight end Otton was doubtful on the Bucs’ injury report for the Cowboys game tomorrow night. Now it is worse: He’s out.

Otton has a knee injury and the only practice he participated in this week was Friday. He was limited in that practice.

Otton is a workhorse, logging 92 percent of the offensive snaps this season. Only Ben Bredeson (99.6 percent), Cody Mauch (99.6 percent) and Baker Mayfield (99.1 percent) have played a higher percentage.

“Energy. Hustle. Effort. Unity.”
