Bucs OT Luke Goedeke nearing a much needed return

They have had their All-Pro tackle Tristan Wirfs on the blindside, but on the right side of things, they have been more questionable. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a rough couple of weeks in terms of protecting Baker Mayfield and those working out of the backfield. They have had their All-Pro tackle Tristan Wirfs on the blindside, but on the right side of things, they have been more questionable.

The good news for the Bucs is that their starting right tackle is nearing a return.

Luke Goedeke missed the last two weeks for the team, and as a result, the opposing pass rush had a field day against Justin Skule. Goedeke has been in concussion protocol, but Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports that he returned to practice on Wednesday.

The Bucs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Their front seven has a deep rotation of pass rushers. Getting Goedeke back could be what Mayfield needs to regain his confidence and get the rushing attack working full force once again.
