Rookies Report To Training Camp Today
July 27th, 2026
Rookie Miami Mauler edge rusher Rueben Bain.
It’s here!
And it will feel very real on Wednesday.
This morning, Bucs rookies report to training camp. Rueben Bain is in the house!
They’ll get physicals, maybe even a conditioning test, and have meetings. The veterans are in tomorrow and practice starts early morning on Wednesday. The first practice open to fans at One Buc Palace is on Thursday. The first preseason game is Aug. 14, at the Jets.
Welcome to football season.

Joe(s) and Ira, thank you for getting us here with your many great articles. Not even a lull this year in having something to read every day about our Bucs. Thank you!

Harry said it perfectly. Thanks for getting us through… all three of you.

Bain is the best thing about the off-season by far. Can’t wait to see what he can do.
July 27th, 2026 at 7:20 am
Ditto on Harry’s comment.
Joe, we gripe a lot but never think we don’t appreciate you guys.
LFG!

Thanks to the Joes and Ira!
Thanks in advance for Lee’s upcoming practice reports! I’ll look forward to the 4th practice when the NFL lets teams put the pads on and hit!

LETS GO!!!!
GO BUCS!!!

Thanks Joes and Ira! Thanks in advance for the training camp practice reports. I’m looking forward to practice #5 when the NFL lets teams wear full pads.
July 27th, 2026 at 8:24 am
LFG!!!!!!!
July 27th, 2026 at 8:28 am
It is Finally here! Now the Haters can just sit back like the rest of us as the season unfolds and spew their Vitriol at the slightest little negative thing to complain about. Go BUCS!!
July 27th, 2026 at 8:28 am
Well said Harry. Sincerest thanks to the Three Amigo’s.
July 27th, 2026 at 8:42 am

July 27th, 2026 at 8:47 am
LFG!

Looks like his “short arms ” work just fine! Nice and low to flip dudes on their heads ! Beer is good…..
July 27th, 2026 at 9:02 am
A short-arm hug for the Joes @ Ira from TBBF & Ruben…..
July 27th, 2026 at 9:23 am
Thanks for being a nice distraction from the world this off season. Let’s see how it all plays out through January.

Joe says this, “Welcome to football season” 😀 and right back at ya Joe! You kept us alive till now with your lifesaver site! Now we get real news, less speculation. After last year, lets stay healthy, keep the A team in bubblewrap during preseason, hope to see the up and comers like Ted Hurst Most of our rooks are already A team so theres that.
July 27th, 2026 at 9:37 am
Ahhh, finally!
July 27th, 2026 at 9:41 am
Baker will come in and sign on the dotted line tomorrow…unless he comes in early. That’s my prediction.
July 27th, 2026 at 9:42 am
If I were Baker, I would call the Bucs and tell them I plan to mess with the media and fans…then I would hold a press conference and say I’m holding out…then show up anyway 😉
I’m evil like that.
July 27th, 2026 at 9:43 am
Media would absolutely hate me if I was a part of this organization, lol. I would soooo mess with people.
July 27th, 2026 at 9:57 am
Man the year was pretty fast coming. 😵💫
July 27th, 2026 at 9:59 am
The great news, now that training camp is starting, is no Bucs made “news” in the last 6 weeks.
No arrests, No DUIs, No car wrecks, No domestic BS, no knees blown out on a pick-up basketball court…. Nada….. Crickets…..
Good job men!
Now its time to get to work – and start building the foundation for a special season….. hopefully one that ends in February with Red and Pewter confetti raining down on this team in Los Angeles.

Let the preseason antics begin!
We still have some needs to address and other teams’ trash piles to pick through. Would love to find a diamond in the rough out there that another team cast off (as long as it’s an upgrade. Lookin’ at you, Braswell.)

I heard they had to change the configuration of Bain’s locker.
He couldn’t reach the top shelf.
July 27th, 2026 at 1:54 pm
yes thanks to jbf for keeping us in the know since 3rd and 28 prematurely ended our season, it was a long six months. i’ll be watching the panthers play a week from Thursday night, good to have the nfl back!!
best offseason moves: getting bain and re tooling the front seven on defense, we should see an improved defense, cornerback is scary though…
worst moves: losing jamel dean, even more than me13 this one is going to hurt, how many games will we lose by not being able to stop the pass in the fourth qtr?
July 27th, 2026 at 2:29 pm
Joe, I don’t think there is a real negative one can truly put on Graham Barton, per CBS. I saw chaos along that line. Is Barton the best center? Maybe not but he’s taken them into the playoffs twice. Let’s Go Baby !!! For once in a long time ESPN recognized the Bucs Jalen McMillan!!!! Love this guy!!!! WATCH!!! this is his year..
July 27th, 2026 at 4:19 pm
Go Miami Mauler!
July 27th, 2026 at 5:58 pm
I absolutely believe that David walker will take Ya-ya starting spot by week 9,and I hope Jeremiah Trotters son can move into the starting lineup ! Go Bucs!!
July 27th, 2026 at 7:33 pm
This seems to be good news in light of Vita Vea asking for a trade.
