Buccaneers
The Buccaneers announced that they have opened the practice window for OL Luke Goedeke, designating him to return from reserve.
This opens a three-week window for him to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster. So far this week, he seems to be tracking to have a solid shot to play in Week 10.
Goedeke, 26, is a former second-round pick by the Buccaneers out of Central Michigan in the 2018 NFL Draft. He earned a First Team All-MAC selection despite missing three games in 2021.
He was entering the final year of a four-year $6,178,984 rookie contract that included a $1,673,807 signing bonus when he signed a four-year, $90 million extension this past August.
In 2025, Goedeke has appeared in two games with two starts at right tackle.
