News

  • Nabs first sack of season

    Gholston posted three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and recorded an additional quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive lineman recorded one of five sacks on rookie Spencer Rattler in his first NFL start. Gholston logged under 20 defensive snaps for the third straight game, however, and given he's never been known for his pass-rushing prowess, the 12-year veteran is far from a reliable IDP option at this stage of his career.

  • Ready to play

    Gholston (knee) is active Sunday against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Gholston logged back-to-back DNPs during practice to start the week, but he returned to log a limited session Friday. He'll bolster the Buccaneers' depth on their defensive front in Week 3.

  • Back with Tampa

    Gholston re-signed with the Buccaneers on Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gholston will remain in Tampa Bay in 2024 for what will be his 12th season in the league. The 32-year-old played a career-low 234 snaps on defense last season, recording zero sacks for the second consecutive year, although he did log his first career interception. He'll likely remain a depth option on the edge for the Buccaneers in 2024.

  • Back with Buccaneers

    Gholston agreed to a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old will return for a 10th season in Tampa Bay after recording 36 tackles (21 solo) and 4.5 sacks in 17 games last season. Gholston hasn't missed a game since 2017 and should remain a key piece of the Bucs' defensive front next season.

  • Unusual surge continues

    Gholston recorded three tackles (two solo), including 2.5 sacks, and was credited with three total quarterback hits during the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers in Week 16.

    Analysis: Gholston blasted through his previous career high of three sacks in remarkable fashion, posting the first multi-sack effort of his career. The veteran defensive lineman also has a pair of six-stop tallies in the last four games, rendering him an unlikely late-season IDP asset.

  • Atypically high tackle total

    Gholston totaled six tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

    Analysis: The veteran usually generates modest tackle totals, but Gholston now has accrued six stops in two of his last three contests. The 30-year-old is still off the radar in the overwhelming majority of IDP formats, however, as he usually offers minimal production outside of a handful of stops per contest.

  • Active in Week 14

    Gholston (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive tackle was listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but he'll suit up Sunday against the Bills. Gholston is coming off his most active game of the season on the tackle front, as he logged six stops (five solo) against the Falcons in the Week 13 win.

  • Likely game-time decision

    Gholston (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bills.

    Analysis: Gholston was a limited participant in back-to-back practices to end the week and is officially questionable heading into the weekend. If he is unable to suit up, then Steve McLendon and Patrick O'Connor are both candidates for increased roles.

  • Dealing with leg injury

    Gholston suffered a right leg injury during Sunday's 30-17 win over the Falcons, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gholston recorded five tackles (four solo) during the contest, but he wasn't able to bend his right knee when he walked off the field after the game. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Week 14.

  • Disruptive in Week 4 win

    Gholston recorded four solo tackles, including one sack, and was credited with three quarterback hits overall in the Buccaneers' 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night.

    Analysis: The veteran lineman now has sacks in back-to-back games, a rarity for a player who's never recorded more than three in any of his previous eight seasons. Gholston has multiple stops in three consecutive contests as well, with his early-season play particularly encouraging considering he's in his age-30 campaign. Despite the current surge, Gholston's typically low tackle numbers and sparse complementary stats keep him off the IDP radar.

  • Long Bucs tenure rewarded in '20

    Gholston, who was credited with a quarterback hit during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, finished the 2020 regular season with 44 tackles (24 solo), three sacks, two defensed passes and a fumble recovery over 16 games.

    Analysis: Gholston followed up one of his best campaigns in recent years with a very quiet postseason, as his only two tackles came in a divisional-round win over the Saints. However, Gholston undeniably had a significant impact on the Buccaneers' stellar defensive effort in 2020, particularly against the run. The veteran's tackle tally was his best since 2016, while his sack total tied a career high. The 29-year-old made a virtually seamless transition to coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme two years…read more

  • Enjoying resurgent season

    Gholston, who recorded five tackles (four solo), including three for loss, in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints in Week 9, is on pace for his most productive season since 2016.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive tackle has been a consistent force during his second season in coordinator Todd Bowles' scheme, now having posted 26 tackles (16 solo), two sacks and a defensed pass over nine games. Gholston is only one sack away from the career-high three he recorded in both the 2015 and 2016 campaigns. Meanwhile, his current tackle pace leaves him projected for 46 stops, just shy of the 49 he tallied back during the 2016 season. While his overall IDP upside remains capped, the durable…read more

  • Clears COVID-19 protocols

    The Buccaneers activated Gholston from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him available for Sunday's game against the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gholston was a close contact with an infected person, but he tested negative all week and can return to team activities immediately. The veteran defensive end is expected to start Sunday's divisional tilt, and he'll look to add to the 21 tackles and two sacks he's registered thus far.

  • Shifts to COVID-19 list

    The Buccaneers placed Gholston on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Gholston hasn't tested positive for the virus, but he's considered a close contact to an infected person. If he's able to test negative through Saturday, he'll be available for Sunday's game versus the Saints. Gholston is having an impressive season with 21 tackles, two sacks and a pass breakup through eight games, but if he happens to sit out, Patrick O'Connor is next up to start at defensive end.

  • Gets second sack of season

    Gholston tallied two tackles (both solo), including one sack, and was credited with three quarterback hits overall in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Gholston's sack was his second of the season following a takedown of the Panthers' Teddy Bridgewater in Week 2. The veteran defensive lineman is on pace for one of his more productive seasons in quite some time, as he currently projects for 48 tackles and approximately seven sacks, with the former his highest tally since 2016 and the latter a career-best figure.

  • Solid bounce-back season in '19

    Gholston recorded 38 tackles (26 solo), one sack and two passes defensed across 16 games in 2019.

    Analysis: Gholston has now toiled for four different coaching administrations in Tampa, but he continues to retain a spot on the roster due to his typically steady play in the defensive-line rotation. In 2019, the 28-year-old bounced back from the most unproductive season of his career a year earlier, upping his tackle total from 10 to 38. Gholston is on the books for a reasonable $4.75 million in 2020, so he's likely to continue in his current role next season.

  • Pair of TFLs in Week 15 win

    Gholston tallied three solo tackles, including two for loss, and was credited with one quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive lineman has never been a true IDP asset because of his lack of impact plays, and that's continued to hold true this season. However, Gholston at least penetrated the backfield on a couple of occasions Sunday versus the Lions' pedestrian offensive line on his way to recording his fourth multi-tackle effort in the last five games. It has also actually been a resurgent year for Gholston in the tackle department, as he garnered a career-low 10 in 2018 over 16 games due in part…read more

  • Ready for Atlanta

    Gholston (foot) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Gholston started the week in a walking boot but it appears to have been precautionary since he never missed a practice this week. The 28-year-old has seen diminished playing time recently with only 72 defensive snaps over the last three games.

  • Spotted in walking boot

    Gholston (foot) is wearing a walking boot on his right foot Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gholston appears to have picked up a foot injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints, during which he notched two tackles (one solo). Expect Wednesday's first injury report of the week to shed some light on the severity of the starting defensive end's issue. Rakeem Nunez-Roches would likely play an increased role on defense if Gholston were forced to miss any time.

  • Sees boost in tackle count

    Gholston recorded four tackles (two solo) and a half-sack in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran equaled the season high in tackles he'd set in Week 1 against the 49ers, and he was able to get a piece of the quarterback for only the second time this season. Gholston is only serving in a rotational role in coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 defense, further capping his already modest IDP value.
