Marpet announced Sunday that he plans to retire from professional football, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The announcement comes as a surprise, with the 28-year-old coming off his first Pro Bowl season. Per Laine, Marpet elected to conclude his playing career due to concerns for his overall health. With the 2015 second-rounder no longer in the mix, the Buccaneers will need to find a new starting left guard ahead of the 2022 campaign. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay's starters at center (Ryan Jensen) and right guard (Alex Cappa) are poised to become unrestricted free agents, and the franchise also is looking for a new top quarterback following Tom Brady's retirement.

Marpet (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Marpet sat out last week's win over the Colts due to the abdominal injury, but he'll retake the field Sunday. He should reclaim his starting spot at left guard, pushing Aaron Stinnie back into a reserve role.

Marpet (abdomen) won't play Sunday against the Colts, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Marpet (oblique) has left early Monday against the Giants and will not return, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marpet suffered the injury in the first half. Considering he's been a mainstay on the Tampa Bay offensive line since his rookie season in 2015, he will be sorely missed for the rest of the game. Aaron Stinnie has taken Marpet's spot on the line.

Marpet (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marpet missed Week 11 while in the concussion protocol, but he was able to return to practice as a full participant this week. The 27-year-old should reclaim his starting spot at left guard for the Bucs.

Marpet (concussion) has been ruled out for Tampa Bay's Monday night matchup against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Marpet contributed consecutive limited sessions late in the practice week, but he was unable to gain clearance for Week 11 despite being afforded an extra day of recuperation time. With the 27-year-old confirmed inactive for a third consecutive tilt, Ryan Jensen slots in as the projected starter at left guard.

Marpet (concussion) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Marpet was a limited participant for a second straight practice and remains in the league's five-step concussion protocol. It's unlikely that he gets cleared by an independent neurologist before Monday's game, so the Buccaneers are preparing to face the Rams' fierce defensive front without their starting left guard. There could be some shuffling on the Bucs' offensive line as a result, but Joe Haeg looks like the top candidate to fill Marpet's role.

Marpet (concussion) was not present for the portion of Friday's practice that was made open to the media, Joey Knight of The Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marpet participated during Thursday's practice session, but he had some restrictions Friday and remains within the NFL's concussion protocol. He has returned to football activity this week, but without the league yet clearing him officially, Marpet's status is questionable heading into Week 11. The starting left guard is, at least, afforded an extra day of recuperation time, with the Buccaneers and Rams not kicking off until Monday night.

Marpet (concussion) was able to practice Thursday but has not yet cleared the league's concussion protocol, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stroud expanded his report by noting that Marpet is still experiencing symptoms, and he will have to be re-evaluated before being able to return to game action. The 27-year-old center started Tampa Bay's first eight outings of the 2020 campaign, but he's been unavailable for two consecutive weeks now. Though Marpet remains questionable at the moment, he will be afforded extra recuperation time with the Buccaneers facing the Rams on Monday Night Football.
