Buccaneers Place Starting Guard Ben Bredeson on IR with Knee Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left guard Ben Bredeson has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury that will sideline him for at least the remainder of the regular season. His earliest potential return would be the wild card round of the playoffs, pending team qualification and recovery. Bredeson's absence, following right guard Cody Mauch also being on IR, means the Buccaneers have now lost both of their original starting guards, impacting their offensive line depth.
