The Tampa Bay Buccaneers received a dose of good news following the season-ending injury to defensive star Calijah Kancey. On Tuesday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that right tackle Luke Goedeke avoided a major injury after Monday night's game but is expected to miss time, possibly multiple weeks, due to a re-aggravated foot injury.

The setback for Goedeke, who battled the injury during practice last week, is a relief compared to Kancey's pectoral tear, which is likely to sideline the defensive lineman for the remainder of the season. Fowler's update signals that while the offensive line will be without Goedeke for a period, the injury is not as severe as initially feared.
