Luke Goedeke Latest News
Returning to action Sunday
Goedeke (concussion) is active for Sunday's Week 6 clash against New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Goedeke sat out the last four weeks while dealing with a concussion, but he's been cleared to return against the Saints. Justin Skule had been filling in as the starter at right tackle, and he'll likely return to a rotational role with Goedeke back in action.
Full practice Wednesday
Goedeke (concussion) was a full participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday. Goedeke has missed the team's last four contests while working his way through concussion-like symptoms, but his full participation to open the week is a major step in the right direction. Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that the offensive tackle is still in concussion protocol and has some tests to pass before he is cleared, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Nonetheless, Goedeke appears to be on the cusp of making his return in Week 6 versus the Saints.
Remains out
Goedeke (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Goedeke hasn't played since suffering concussion-like symptoms ahead of the team's Week 2 win over the Lions. It's unclear how close he may be to finishing his way through the league's five-step protocols, but his next chance to play will be in Week 6 against the Saints.
Out for Sunday
Goedeke (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. The third-year offensive lineman out of Central Michigan is now in line to miss his third consecutive game with a concussion. Justin Skule is expected to continue serving as the Buccaneers' top right tackle until Goedeke can pass concussion protocol.
Making progress
Goedeke (concussion) is making progress through the league's protocols and there is hope he can play Sunday against the Eagles, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Goedeke has missed the Buccaneers' last two games but has shown enough progress in his recovery to be optimistic about a Week 4 return. However, with steps in the NFL's concussion protocols left to be completed, he'll remain questionable for the matchup with Philadelphia for now.
Won't play vs. Broncos
Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Goedeke (concussion) will not play Week 3, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Bowles also said that Goedeke is "progressing," a potentially encouraging sign for his availability come Week 4. In the meantime, Justin Skule should continue to fill in as the starter at right tackle.
Ruled out for Week 2
Goedeke (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Goedeke played all 64 offensive snaps in Tampa Bay's Week 1 win over the Commanders but reported concussion symptoms earlier this week and will miss the clash between NFC playoff hopefuls. Justin Skule is expected to get the start in Goedeke's place at right tackle.
