Josh Hayes Latest News
Returning to action Sunday

Hayes missed Week 10 against Tennessee while working his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he'll be back on the field Sunday to face San Francisco. The rookie has yet to see any work on defense this season, logging all 151 of his snaps on special teams.
Won't play vs. Titans
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/tampa-bay-buccaneers-logo.png?w=150)
Hayes will miss the first game of his NFL career in Week 10 as he works his way back from a concussion. He's played exclusively on special teams in 2023, so Tampa Bay will need to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase.
