Cody Mauch: Everything you need to know

Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht said Tuesday that Mauch (knee) is slated to be healthy for the start of training camp, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Mauch injured his knee in mid-September and missed the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Prior to getting hurt, he had started in 36 consecutive regular-season contests to begin his NFL career. Mauch figures to retake his starting role at right guard when the 2026 campaign kicks off.

Tampa Bay placed Mauch (knee) on injured reserve Thursday. In addition to Mauch, the Bucs also placed starting RT Luke Goedeke (foot) on injured reserve, meaning that for the time being, the team has lost its right side of the offensive line. However, while Mauch is expected to miss the remainder of the season, that's not the case for Goedeke, who will be sidelined a minimum of four games.

Mauch suffered a season-ending knee injury in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Mauch was able to finish the contest, but he'll now be sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. In his absence, Elijah Klein will likely get the first crack at the starting role at right guard, while the team is also expected to sign Dan Feeney off the Bills' practice squad.
