Todd Bowles Shows Why He Deserves Chance To Resurrect The Buccaneers’ Season

Perfect on four kicks Thursday McLaughlin made his only field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries Thursday in a 24-16 win against Dallas.

Impact McLaughlin made all three of his PAT tries before nailing a 41-yard field goal late in the third quarter. He could have had an additional chip-shot FG midway through the fourth, but the Buccaneers somewhat surprisingly tried (and failed) to get into the end zone on a fourth-and-goal play from the 1-yard line when a field goal would have given them a three-score lead. Regardless, McLaughlin looked fine after missing practice Tuesday with a right groin/hip issue, and he's now a perfect 10-for-10 on field-goal attempts this season.

Will play Thursday Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that McLaughlin (groin) will play Thursday night against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact McLaughlin popped up on the injury report Tuesday as a DNP, but it sounds like it was more precautionary than anything else. The veteran kicker is a perfect 9-for-9 on field-goal tries and 7-for-7 on PATs after four games. Kicking in a Tampa Bay offense struggling to score touchdowns, McLaughlin has plenty of fantasy value as the team's main source of offense in the red zone.

Misses practice Tuesday with injury McLaughlin didn't practice Tuesday due to a right groin/hip injury.

Impact Though he wasn't included on the team's initial Week 5 injury report released Monday, McLaughlin's absence from practice a day later makes his status worth tracking as Thursday's game against the Cowboys approaches. For the time being, the Buccaneers still seem to be proceeding with the expectation that McLaughlin will be ready to play Thursday, as Greg Auman of Fox Sports relays that the team hasn't reached out to free agent kicker B.T. Potter, who served as McLaughlin's backup in the preseason.

Does not attempt field goal in loss McLaughlin did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs during Sunday's 17-14 loss to Green Bay.

Impact McLaughlin went without a field-goal try for the first time in a regular-season contest since Week 12 of the 2025 campaign. The remains perfect on the season, going 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while also making all seven of his PATs over the team's first four games.

McLaughlin's four made field goals were his most in a game since Week 3 of the 2025 season (five), and his 13 made field goals of 50-plus yards since the start of last year are most in the NFL.

Set for fourth season as Bucs' kicker McLaughlin is slated to be Tampa Bay's primary placekicker for the fourth consecutive campaign in 2026.

Impact McLaughlin got limited opportunities early in his career, but he's played in 16 or 17 contests each of the past five years, the last three of which have been with the Bucs. He was incredibly accurate in making 94 percent of his FG attempts over his first two seasons with the club, and though that rate dropped a bit to 84 percent last year, McLaughlin also hit a career-high 11 field goals from 50-plus yards (on 12 attempts). He'll be in the final year of the three-year contract he inked in 2024, which could give McLaughlin additional incentive to make a big impact with his leg.
