Bucs have Vita Vea flanked by Akiem Hicks and Will Gholston in base defense. Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting working as outside corners.

Jensen would be a massive loss. Hopefully it's only short term if at all.

The Buccaneers may have a significant injury concern along their offensive line early in training camp.

Fans cheering everything Julio Jones does. Screen and sideline catch on the fan side and they were loud the whole play, welcoming him to Tampa.

Bucs getting Julio Jones involved a lot right away. Brady’s connected with him twice today in red zone pass skel drills, both caught.

Well maybe because Bruce Arians isn’t up there to be completely wrong about literally every injury we’ll know the truth soon.

Jamel Dean has worked with second defense in base and has gotten his hands on at least three passes in two days.

Ross ****rell working as second nickel in practice. Logan Ryan cuts into his value as nickel/safety depth and puts him on roster bubble, but Bucs may need more DBs for special teams if receivers aren’t helping as much on coverage/return units.

Bucs will check on Ryan Jensen’s injured knee with an MRI this morning to check on the severity of any damage.

 

[Deus Irae]

Wirfs seems fully recovered. I don’t think it’s limiting him at all.

Wirfs said his ankle is fine - not wearing anything extra to protect it in practice, will probably wrap it a bit once they get to full contact at practice.

 

[VectorPrime]

Yeah but he’s not going to get onto a podium and either be stupid or lie. He can stand on the side out of the way as much as he wants.

 

[Deus Irae]

WHAT A PICK by @AntoineWJr11. Brady overthrows a deep ball intended for Evans, but Winfield gets over there and lunges for the catch.

Brady leads Rudolph a bit too much on a short throw over the middle in 11-on-11. Developing a clairvoyance will be a process.

 

[VectorPrime]

Well in my anecdotal experience if someone gingerly walks off with a knee injury it means they’re done because you don’t know true despair without first feeling hope. So the fact that he needed a cart right away is probably a good sign.

I mean makes perfect sense really.

They should look at Tretter if Jensen’s knee is torn.

Who or what is a Tretter

This guy is at their camp so FWIW. Seems like the Bucs version of Justin Ramos. Maybe they think that's what it is but nobody would know this for sure right away.


He said in another tweet with a photo at camp that Jensen was carted off and he was not happy. That kind of reaction is usually not a positive thing...

Julio looks explosive and his usage will be down. Its going to be something to watch this offense with the concepts that TB and B Left will use.

Sigh who knows. It’s not implausible he overheard it being said on the field.

 

[VectorPrime]

I mean, idk. If they don’t know they don’t know and I don’t think someone could overhear anything on the field as it happened.

Interesting....

If Jensen were to be sidelined for a significant amount of time, Bucs would look at signing a veteran center, in the least to compete with Hainsey. Let's see what the MRI has to say first.

Comments like that lead to people going from "Maybe he just tweaked something" to "Man, I hope it's just an MCL tear".
