So who do we expect back for the patriots game?

As title says, who do we expect back from injuries when we face the patriots.

Doctor · Post by **Doctor** » Sun Oct 26, 2025 9:14 pm

I wouldn't be surprised if everyone missing today still missing after.

Godwin, Bucky, Godeke. For Sure! McMillan would be great, but man a neck injury is one of those you make sure it is 100 before you send the back. I think he is a long shot.

It will be interesting to see who gets healthy and makes it back for week 10.

I hope Bucky gets back and Baker gets healthy. Has anyone seen an update on McMillan?

Doctor · Post by **Doctor** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 12:36 am

Last update he was still in a brace.

All I know is that I have a solution for the ref problem

Pirate Life · Post by **Pirate Life** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 9:16 am

Pretty sure we get Goedeke and Irving back. Sneaking suspicion Godwin is back. McMillan likely gets activated in a couple of weeks for the 21 day window to help him get back in shape (hence the December timeline). Think Reddick is back after another week or so.

Remains to be seen if we do anything on the trade market to shore up the defense. Dennis is playing a bit better, but would like to see more help there. And with the pass rush, it's better than some here think but another chess piece would be great.

I predict a zero in every statistical category. The Bucs have never lost to the Bye Week. And the Bye Week has never lost to the Bucs.

Could happen. The body doesn't know that we have a bye-week. Just depends on the severity of the injuries and how well the rehabilitation process works.

Grahamburn · Post by **Grahamburn** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 10:00 am

I would expect Bucky and Godwin back because they weren't put on IR.

Haven't heard much on Goedeke. Don't know what happened to Reddick either do we? Nice to see Nelson step up in his stead.

Bye 10

Merged the two threads. First thread won the title war.

Who knows. Depends on how many players get injured during the bye.

Bootz · Post by **Bootz** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 12:45 pm

Latest on Goedeke was Bowles hopes he's back sometime this season but he doesn't know when.

Might be able to steal the Pats game but I don’t think we can beat the Bills or Rams without some/all of these guys back.

Pirate Life · Post by **Pirate Life** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 2:27 pm

Goedeke was at the game yesterday, pregame footage showed him signing autographs for Bucs fans. Shorts and flipflops, looked to be walking ok, no brace, bandage or sleeve on either leg.

With the trade the Rams made today, think they are the hardest of the next three and likely the one we need to win the most. Just shored up their secondary and it's a prime time game.

Bills may be the easiest of the trio and that's saying something.

I take that with less than a grain of salt. After the initial foot injury, it was the same thing. "No brace, no bandage, no sleeve, no boot, he has on flip flops." 14 players later he's on I.R because of said foot.

We don't really know the status of the injury or where he is rehab wise. Bowles has stated he has no time table. I just wouldn't use the video of him signing autographs as an indication of anything.

Alert: Debbie Downer has to interject again.

I am 100% positive that being on the sideline in flip flops with no brace is better than being in a wheel chair and in a cast. Wouldn't want to read anything into that, though.

Only outlet that reported that was JoeBucsFan. No video of it, only video we had that week of Goedeke was about 8 seconds of him on the practice field. I trust Lugz' statements on what's going on more than that 'outlet'.

Multiple sources reporting that Goedeke was out of the boot the week before the Lions game and able to get around albeit with a bit of a limp. What I saw with my own eyes yesterday was Goedeke out and walking around, chatting with fans with no noticeable limp or anything on his leg in the pre-game portion. Even the announcers commented on it and mentioned he's likely back after the bye.

As far as Bowles (and any other coach for that matter), there are restrictions on what teams can say about players on injured reserve that can come back during the season. He can't say much until they open up the 21 day window.

Not in flip-flops either

He was supposedly never in a boot initially. That's why there's was excitement about him playing in Houston. But one of the podcasts that week stated that the Bucs listed him as limited on that Saturday and he did next to nothing basically. So it was a very generous designation.

Not the video I'm talking about either, but thanks for sharing. They were filming the Bucs' pregame barefoot ritual at the time, can't say if Goedeke was in flip flops because he participated or not as he was already on the sideline signing things.

Backside · Post by **Backside** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 7:26 pm

I’m just hoping we have Baker back to his old self. The last two games he’s looked like a shell of himself. If he’s not accurate or moving around well nothing really works on offense. The offensive gameplan seemed to take it into account yesterday as we ran the most basic shit, with an emphasis on the run game, completely ineffectively. It was simply brutal watching our offense try to operate the most mundane stuff and failing miserably. Thank god we played the hapless Saints.

Would be nice to get some positive progress reports from Bucky, Goedeke, and Godwin. But it begins and ends with Baker.

Parrish?

mdb1958 · Post by **mdb1958** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 8:51 am

Parrish went out in the 4th quarter with an oblique injury. Bowles moved McCollum to NB. For all purposes the game was over but I really dislike when we shut down and give up so much trash yardage.

mdb1958 · Post by **mdb1958** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 11:15 am

CBS has Parrish doubtful for the Patriots game. I wonder if Bowles has the idea of dialing in McCollum as slot corner? I'm pretty sure he'd like to see Morrison get more experience and a bigger challenge facing a tough QB. Hope Bowles works some good results as I'm sure New England would love to march up and down the field all day.

If we can at least get Goedeke back I'd feel a bit better about the Pats game.
