The Buccaneers have not yet set a timetable for Goedeke (foot) to return from IR, but the team does not consider his injury season-ending at this time, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Goedeke's absence at right tackle has been felt by Tampa Bay, especially with right guard Cody Mauch (knee) having been lost for the year, so it would be a notable boost if the former is able to return at some point during the 2025 campaign. Since Goedeke remains without a clear timetable to return, however, the Buccaneers will continue relying on Charlie Heck to hold down the fort at right tackle for the foreseeable future.

Goedeke is believed to have avoided a major injury, but he's expected to miss time after aggravating his foot injury in Monday night's win over the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The Bucs' right tackle, Goedeke played 12 offensive snaps in Monday night's win before he went to the locker room. Charlie Heck replaced Goedeke on the offensive line. With the Bucs already missing star LT Tristan Wirfs (knee), Tampa Bay can't afford any further injuries up front.

Goedeke picked up a foot injury during the Bucs' Week 1 win over the Falcons, which prevented him from practicing Thursday and Friday. He drew the questionable tag after logging a limited practice Saturday, and he's done enough over the weekend and before Monday's contest to be cleared to start at right tackle.

Buccaneers' Luke Goedeke: May move to right tackle
Rotowire
Goedeke could move to right tackle this offseason, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Stroud reported that Tristan Wirfs would be moving from right to left tackle after Tampa Bay didn't address the position during the 2023 NFL Draft. He indicated that Goedeke, who started at left guard as a rookie in 2022 but played right tackle in college, would be a prime option to replace Wirfs on the right side if the two-time Pro Bowler did make the position change.
