The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 2025 season has been defined by injuries through five weeks.
Tampa Bay has battled key absences at just about every position but has persevered to a 4-1 record, tied for the best in the NFL.
The offensive line has been the biggest storyline so far, with Tristan Wirfs missing the first few games, Cody Mauch out for the season with a knee injury, and Luke Goedeke sidelined for a few weeks with a foot issue. The team opened the year with a makeshift line featuring four of five starters either as backups or playing out of position.
