Hayes (leg) has returned to Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. The cornerback exited in the third quarter due to cramps. Hayes has six tackles (five solo), a pass breakup and a fumble recovery in the game.
Hayes (leg) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Chiefs. The cornerback left the game in the third due to cramping. Hayes recorded five tackles (four solo), a pass breakup and a fumble recovery before exiting. Tavierre Thomas and Keenan Isaac are the other available backup corners for Tampa Bay.
Hayes (ankle) is active Sunday against the Broncos. Hayes was unable to play in Week 2 against the Lions but is healed enough to suit up in Week 3. He'll add depth to the Buccaneers' secondary and help chip in on special teams.
Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Hayes was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win, so it's no surprise that he won't be suiting up Sunday. Expect Christian Izien and Tyrek Funderburk to see more work in Tampa Bay's secondary as Hayes continues to recover.
Hayes suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's Week 1 game against Washington and won't return to the contest, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. It's not clear when Hayes suffered the injury, but he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His exit was preceded by fellow cornerback Zyon McCollum leaving the game after entering concussion protocols, and Bryce Hall was carted off the field with a right leg injury shortly after Hayes was ruled out.
Hayes missed Week 10 against Tennessee while working his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he'll be back on the field Sunday to face San Francisco. The rookie has yet to see any work on defense this season, logging all 151 of his snaps on special teams.
Hayes will miss the first game of his NFL career in Week 10 as he works his way back from a concussion. He's played exclusively on special teams in 2023, so Tampa Bay will need to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase.
