Buccaneers cornerback Zion McCollum suffered a concussion in the first half of Sunday’s 37-20 win over the Commanders, but another Buccaneers starter was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday.
Right tackle Luke Goedeke was a surprise addition to the injured list on Wednesday. He participated in part of Wednesday’s practice and showed symptoms of a concussion, which led the team to place him in the protocol. His concussion likely occurred during Sunday’s game.
If Goedeke is unable to play Sunday, the Buccaneers are expected to start right tackle Justin Skull against Detroit. Both Goedeke and McCollum were listed as limited participants on Tampa Bay’s injury report on Wednesday.
