Right guard Cody Mauch
Oh, boy.
Ironman Bucs right guard Cody Mauch is injured. Todd Bowles confirmed this afternoon that Mauch has a bad knee and he missed part of practice today if not all of it.
Bowles said it’s unclear if Mauch can play Sunday in the home-opener against the Jets at The Licht House.
The official injury report, as required per league rules, will be issued this afternoon.
Joe is in need of therapy.
It’s obvious right tackle Luke Goedeke and left tackle Tristan Wirfs won’t play Sunday, and Graham Barton and Ben Bredeson already are not in their usual positions. Damn, if second-year man Elijah Klein starts for Mauch, then the Bucs’ offensive line, the jewel of the franchise, won’t have one cog in its rightful place against the sorry Jets.
