Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey: Active versus Dallas
Hainsey (hamstring) is active for Monday's wild-card matchup against Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Hainsey tweaked his knee during Tampa Bay's regular-season finale and logged limited practices Thursday through Saturday before being deemed questionable. The center will ultimately be active, but he'll presumably operate as a backup to Ryan Jensen, who was activated off injured reserve Monday and is expected to start against Dallas.

Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey: Forced out with injury
Hainsey (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Hainsey departed for the locker room after he apparently aggravated an existing hamstring injury, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. In his stead, starting left guard Nick Leverett has slid over to center while John Molchon has stepped in at left guard. With the Buccaneers set to play next week during the wild-card round of the playoffs, it will be worth monitoring Hainsey's status given the injury-riddled state of Tampa Bay's starting offensive line.

Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey: Ready to face Cowboys
Hainsey (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Hainsey escaped Tampa Bay's preseason finale without a major injury, and he'll be available to suit up Week 1. The 2021 third-round pick will be asked to start at center in place of Ryan Jensen (knee), who is projected to miss most (if not all) of the 2022 campaign.

Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey: Should be ready for Week 1
Hainsey (ankle) should be able to return to practice soon and will likely be ready for Week 1 against Dallas, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Hainsey suffered the ankle injury during the team's preseason finale, but after undergoing preliminary exams, he appears to have avoided a serious issue. With Ryan Jensen (knee) sidelined for the majority of the 2022 campaign, Hainsey is expected to operate as the team's starting center, so his health moving forward is key to Tampa Bay's success.

Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey: Appears to avoid long-term injury
Hainsey (ankle) underwent X-rays on Sunday but is not expected to have suffered a long-term injury, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
The exact severity of the injury remains unknown, but there's optimism that the second-year offensive lineman may be able to play in Week 1. If available, Hainsey will likely operate as the team's starting center, as Ryan Jensen (knee) is set to miss a majority of the 2022 campaign.

Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey: Won't return Saturday
Hainsey (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of the Buccaneers' preseason finale Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Hainsey went down after his leg appeared to unintentionally get rolled up on by teammate Nick Leverett, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The projected starting center then required assistance to walk off the field while favoring his left ankle, but the injury appears to be minor, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports. Hainsey's ability to walk around Tampa Bay's sideline under his own power after this injury should be an encouraging sign for the Buccaneers, who have already dealt with injuries to numerous offensive linemen this preseason.
