The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to welcome back starting right tackle Luke Goedeke and defensive tackle Calijah Kancey for their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints. Goedeke has cleared concussion protocol after missing the first five weeks of the season, while Kancey returns from a calf injury. However, starting center Graham Barton will be sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Coach Todd Bowles expressed confidence in Goedeke's readiness and highlighted the importance of Robert Hainsey stepping in for Barton.
- Goedeke's return is crucial for the Bucs' offensive line.
- Kancey's presence will bolster the defensive front.
- Barton’s absence will challenge the offensive line's chemistry.
