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), thre...

Impact 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 ago, and he's currently due to enter a contract year in 2021 under a reasonable hit of $5.5 million per Spotrac; however, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for both player and organization to contemplate a cost-effective extension this offseason, considering Gholston's consistency and understated value to the defensive line.

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 201...

Impact 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 Gholston, who has a chance to play in all 16 games for a third straight season, is offering some serviceable numbers and has shown a knack for getting into the backfield more frequently than in years past.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
