I think we may now know why Suh wasn't brought back:

However, Reed adds that Suh is looking for a contract with an annual average of $9 million per year.

Raiders remain interested in Ndamukong Suh, but his price may be too high - ProFootballTalk

“Like I said a week and a half ago, I said he’ll be back this week,” Bowles said. “So that hasn’t changed. We expect him back this week.”

Which day will it be?

“It’ll be this week, early,” Bowles said.

Near the end of the video session, Bowles was asked whether Brady would play in the preseason finale, next Saturday at the Colts. Bowles didn’t rule it out.

“Not yet,” Bowles said. “We’ll see how practice goes, and we’ll make those decisions at the end of the week.”

Is today the 10th day off for Brady?

Stinnie was absolutely nothing special in terms of his own play but for the love of god an o-line needs capable bodies. How can they not make a trade for some teams solid second stringer or something at this point? It kind of feels like Jensen might be back midway through the season which would be a huge help and kick Hainsey back to guard but they need a solid guard now.

The Marpet retirement is looming large right now.

I haven't kept a count of the days of practice, sorry. I wish I had the answer for you.

The team announced that they waived safety Troy Warner and released wide receiver Vyncint Smith on Sunday. That drops the roster to 83 players with a Tuesday deadline to get to 80.

One of the next moves may be to place guard Aaron Stinnie on injured reserve. Stinnie will miss the year after tearing his ACL and MCL in Saturday’s game.

Bucs still have $9.3 million in cap space in the latest numbers from NFLPA. Still plenty of room to make additions as needed.

Bowles says Tristan Wirfs is "day to day" with his strained oblique and shouldn't be much of a concern relating to Week 1 against Dallas.

Reporters get bored too*...

Just tossing this out there for those engaged in #Bucs trade speculation: Packers actually seem fairly deep at OL and could use more targets for Aaron Rodgers. Bucs have logjam of WRs.

*Not that I'm above such speculation, either...

Funny how they can figured out Stinnies injury in one day but Jensen is still a giant mystery...

Today is indeed the 10th day. Per article "Brady was excused from camp on Aug. 11 for personal reasons"

Tom Brady expected to return to Buccaneers on Monday

Bucs QB Tom Brady is expected to return to the team on Monday following an absence from training camp for personal reasons, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports.

Bucs reached an injury settlement today with rookie outside linebacker JoJo Ozougwu, and as a result, the earliest they could bring him back on the practice squad is Week 4. NFL requires a lag from end of settlement to re-signing to keep teams from misusing waived-injured.

Yes, after Gisele did some victory laps in the pool at the resort.

Too bad Tommy couldn't arrange his social calendar well enough to be at work with his team.

I guess all that time spent retiring, unretiring, negotiating with MIA and planting the knife in Arians's back made that too difficult.

Why do you care? He's not on our team. The Bucs are in another division. Jesus. Brady took some time off. He's spent half his life away from his family. Dr. Phil would call that neglect. How many players have sat out preseason and even games in a season for just more money? One of you haters theory is he hurt the team. There's no guarantee, he's 45 but I submit that even if some chemistry is suffered because of the time off, the team is still better off with Brady than with Gabbert. We get it, Brady is the devil.

There you have it. The MF is not JG after all. I'm calling JG to Tampa in 2023. We'll still have a reason to cheer on the Bucs.
