Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Takes next step in '24
Hayes recorded 35 tackles (22 solo), three defensed passes and one fumble recovery across 15 regular-season games in 2024.
The 2023 sixth-round pick saw a boost in involvement during his second season despite playing in the same number of games, with his snap count on defense jumping from 28 to 256. Hayes is still looking for his first career sack and interception, but he posted a career-high 11 tackles in Week 18 against the Saints while filling in for Jamel Dean (knee) and provided four tackles over 23 snaps in a wild-card loss to the Commanders. Hayes will play out the third year of his rookie contract in 2025 and could carve out a case for a larger role with a strong offseason and training camp.

Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Career-high tackle total Sunday
Hayes posted 11 tackles (10 solo) in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.
The second-year cornerback drew the start for Jamel Dean (knee) and made good use of his time on the field, which consisted of 65 snaps (98 percent). Hayes' tackle total was easily a career high -- he'd previously topped out at six stops in Weeks 9 and 10 this season -- but he's projected to mave back to a rotational role if Dean is able to return for Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Commanders.

Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Ready to play Sunday
Hayes (hamstring) was deemed active ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
Hayes missed last week's win against the Raiders with a hamstring injury and did not return to practice in full until Friday. Across 11 appearances this season, the 25-year-old has tallied 20 tackles and three passes defended. He will now reprise his role as Tampa Bay's primary reserve cornerback while also working on special teams.

Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Could return Sunday
Hayes (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
Hayes appears to be trending toward suiting up for Sunday's contest, as he upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday. The second-year pro from Kansas State is expected to serve as the Bucs' top reserve corner if he can play in Week 15. If not, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work in Tampa Bay's secondary.

Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Won't play vs. Raiders
Hayes (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Hayes popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a hamstring injury, and the issue is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but Hayes' absence means Dallis Flowers will be the primary backup at outside corner Sunday behind starters Jamel Dean and Zyon McCollum.

Buccaneers' Josh Hayes: Won't play Sunday
Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Hayes was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win, so it's no surprise that he won't be suiting up Sunday. Expect Christian Izien and Tyrek Funderburk to see more work in Tampa Bay's secondary as Hayes continues to recover.
