Close<\/a>Jenna Laine covers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for ESPN. She started covering the Bucs for ESPN in 2016, but she has covered the team since 2009. Jenna is a former cheerleader at the University of South Florida and speaks to the consistency of the program as being one of the top best in the nation.<\/p>\n TAMPA, Fla. — Buccaneers<\/a> starting right guard Cody Mauch<\/a> suffered a season-ending knee injury Monday night against the Houston Texans<\/a>, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Another source told ESPN that the 2023 second-round draft pick out of North Dakota State, who started all 36 regular-season and three postseason games he has played for Tampa Bay, will require surgery.<\/p>\n The Bucs are expected to sign guard Dan Feeney<\/a> off the Buffalo Bills<\/a>‘ practice squad, the source told Schefter.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n Despite suffering the injury in-game, Mauch played all four quarters in the win, including contributing an important downfield block on wide receiver Emeka Egbuka<\/a>‘s 15-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n The Bucs are already without starting All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs<\/a>, who is working his way back from offseason knee surgery. Starting right tackle Luke Goedeke<\/a> also missed Wednesday’s walk-through with a foot injury that he sustained in Week 1 and aggravated against the Texans.<\/p>\n Wirfs’ absence already resulted in a reconfigured offensive line that has seen starting center Graham Barton<\/a> move to left tackle, starting left guard Ben Bredeson<\/a> move to center and newcomer Mike Jordan<\/a> step in at left guard. The Bucs will have to do more tinkering to account for Mauch’s absence, with Goedeke’s status this week unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jenna LaineSep 18, 2025, 12:22 PM CloseJenna Laine covers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for ESPN.
