Greene was held out of practice Monday due to a right leg issue, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Auman notes that Greene had a sleeve on his right leg while also suggesting that the injury doesn't appear to be serious. Greene didn't play at all after Week 11 last season due to a calf issue, but it's not clear if his current leg injury is related. He's competing for a rotational role on Tampa Bay's defensive line.

Greene (calf) was seen participating in Sunday's practice session, Christopher O'Meara of the Citizen Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greene sat out for the Bucs' final nine games of the 2023 season -- including two playoff contests -- due to a calf injury he sustained during practice leading up to Week 12 against the Colts. It appears he's fully recovered from the injury, and he is battling for a depth spot at defensive end behind starters Calijah Kancey and Logan Hall. Across his 10 outings last season, Greene recorded six tackles (two solo) while playing 162 snaps on defense and 38 snaps on special teams.

Greene (calf) had his 21-day practice window expire Wednesday and he will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the postseason, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greene was designated to return from IR on Dec. 27, but his practice window has now come and gone without him being added to the active roster. The defensive tackle recorded six tackles over 10 games with Tampa Bay in 2023 and he'll now shift his focus to being ready to go for the 2024 campaign.

Greene has played in 10 games for the Buccaneers this season, working in a rotational role and tallying six tackles (two solo) over 162 defensive snaps.

Greene will not play in Sunday's game in Indianapolis due to a calf injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It is unclear when Greene picked up his calf injury, as he was absent from the injury report during the week. However, it is severe enough to keep him in Tampa Bay instead of traveling with the team to Indy. With Logan Hall (illness) questionable, the Bucs are potentially looking thin at defensive end.

Greene (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greene was listed as questionable but was able to practice throughout the week and will now suit up Sunday. He's played a part-time role on both defense and special teams in his rookie season.

The Buccaneers signed Greene to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greene, an undrafted rookie defensive tackle from James Madison, spent the entire campaign on Tampa Bay's practice squad without ever receiving an elevation to the team's active roster. He'll now stick around with the Buccaneers and compete for a roster spot heading into next season.
