Bucs' offensive line aims to rebound for 2026 season

Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive line looks to return to form as they approach the 2026 NFL season. Led by All-Pro tackle Tristan Wirfs, the line struggled in 2025 due to injuries affecting 80% of the starters. The Bucs' rushing attack declined as a result, with running back Bucky Irving missing significant time. Tampa added RB Kenneth Gainwell in free agency to bolster the backfield alongside Irving. If healthy, the offensive line has the potential to help the team reclaim its explosive 2024 offensive performance.
