INJURIES
Returning to action
Hayes (ankle) is active Sunday against the Broncos.
Impact
Hayes was unable to play in Week 2 against the Lions but is healed enough to suit up in Week 3. He'll add depth to the Buccaneers' secondary and help chip in on special teams.

Won't play Sunday
Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact
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.

Out with ankle injury
Hayes suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's Week 1 game against Washington and won't return to the contest, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
It's not clear when Hayes suffered the injury, but he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His exit was preceded by fellow cornerback Zyon McCollum leaving the game after entering concussion protocols, and Bryce Hall was carted off the field with a right leg injury shortly after Hayes was ruled out.

Out with ankle injury
Hayes suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's Week 1 game against Washington and won't return to the contest, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
It's not clear when Hayes suffered the injury, but he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His exit was preceded by fellow cornerback Zyon McCollum leaving the game after entering concussion protocols, and Bryce Hall was carted off the field with a right leg injury shortly after Hayes was ruled out. That leaves Tampa Bay with just one healthy cornerback (Jamel Dean).

Active Monday
Hayes (knee) is active for Monday's wild card game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
Hayes exited Tampa Bay's Week 18 win over the Panthers with the knee injury. The rookie has played 278 snaps on special teams and 28 on defense this season, recording 17 tackles. Hayes should play a depth cornerback role in the playoff matchup with Philadelphia.

Forced out Sunday
Hayes was forced out with a knee injury during Sunday's 9-0 win over the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
Hayes sustained a knee injury at some point during Sunday's action, and he was deemed doubtful to return before the end of the contest. It's unclear if the 24-year-old returned during the second half, which will leave his status up in the air as the Buccaneers now prepare to play in the Wild Card round of the postseason after the team secured a spot as the NFC champions.

Full practice Wednesday
Hayes (illness) was a full participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.
Impact
Hayes missed the team's 34-20 win over the Packers in Week 15 due to an illness, but he now looks to be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with Jacksonville. The 24-year-old will be back in his depth role at cornerback in Tampa Bay's secondary.

Won't play vs. Titans
Hayes (concussion) is out for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact
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.
