Ben Bredeson: Everything you need to know

Bredeson (knee) participated in Tampa Bay's offseason training activities Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Timesreports. Bredeson is healthy again after having recovered from a knee injury that held him out of the final four games of the 2025 campaign. The 28-year-old is expected to serve as the Buccaneers starting left guard once again during the upcoming season.

Bredeson (knee) is expected to be fully healthy in time to participate in Tampa Bay's offseason program, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Bredeson missed the final four games of the 2025 regular season due to a knee issue, but it doesn't appear that his recovery will impede his activity level this offseason. He remains under contract with the Buccaneers for two more seasons.

The Buccaneers placed Bredeson (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Bredeson left last Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Saints early with a knee injury and did not return. The offensive guard will now have to miss the remainder of the regular season as part of the minimum four-game IR stint before potentially being able to return to the Buccaneers in January if they make the postseason. Michael Jordan is set to start at left guard in Bredeson's absence.
