Benjamin Morrison In Full Pads, Return Expected Next Week

August 12th, 2026

On the field today in New Jersey.

Bucs cornerback Benjamin Morrison is just about off the shelf.

He was in full pads today but did not get into team work against the Jets during the team’s joint practice in New Jersey. Visually, Morrison looks close to making his practice debut in 2026 training camp after a mysterious hamstring injury in the offseason.

“Soon,” Morrison told Joe after practice regarding his availability.

Joe was told by someone with knowledge of the situation Morrison should be rolling in practice next week. After the Bucs’ preseason game against the Jets on Friday. They’ll be back practicing on Monday morning.

    Thank Goodness. Our depth is real thin without him.

    Any intel on bored Mccollum?

    Joe: “ after a mysterious hamstring injury in the offseason.“. why this is mysterious? He’s just one of a number of guys with hamstrings. He’s losing ground to Parrish for starting CB so he’s likely wanting to practice. So why mysterious – have you heard rumors?

    Mysterious because he’s three weeks past the typical recovery time for a grade two hammy injury. Grade 3 requires surgery, but he didn’t get that or he’d be on IR. So what’s taking so friggin’ long to get on the field?

  6. StormyInFl Says:

    I’ll be absolutely shocked if he makes it to week 1 without getting hurt again.

    Injury prone and horrible waste of a pick.

  7. JimBobBuc Says:

    Good catch Marty, thanks. I wonder if it’s Morrison or the team that’s delaying his return.

    Ben “watching from the sidelines” Morrison.

    Pulling for this young man but you gotta get on the field.

    You know what

    I’m rooting for Benjamin Morrison

    If #21 can progress in year 2 and prove to be worthy of his 2nd round pick then we should be a good team.

    I just didn’t like him last year in that game @ Panthers. Seems like he was getting targeted, Hargraves vibes.

    But this dude has the tools to be the best corner on this roster. I hope this guy pans out and even shows flashes on field come Friday against the Jets

    Let’s go 21

    Zyon is a decent corner, but he can’t guard #1 option receivers like Chase, Puka, JSN, Amon – Ra etc.

    Parrish has been solid since Day One, let’s see what he can do on the outside

    Morrison has the tools to be just as good if not better than McCollum one day

    BUST!

  12. Larrd Says:

    I also have knowledge of the situation: he won’t be back for long, lol.

  13. buc4evr Says:

    Yeah, We have heard that before. The guy won’t make through the second game w/o injuring himself again. Hope Licht has a solid backup plan.

  14. Rayjay1122 Says:

    Benjamin Who?

  15. maxdrumsalot Says:

    Brian Price anyone?

  16. Drunk Bucs Fan Says:

    So if he plays 16 – 17 games this year and ends up being our best or 2nd best CB, everyone is going to rush back here and let everyone know that they were wrong, correct?

    Not saying he will be, but there are some people making some clear, definitive statements about the young man.

  17. BA’s Red Pen Says:

    She’s going to be injured again before she finishes her first practice.

  18. Football 1 Says:

    Well he needs a lot of work in a little time. I hope he can stay on the field and develop, but at this point I am skeptical of both him staying healthy and developing.

  19. Nillyboy133 Says:

    Who is this another rookie?

  20. Yeahmetoo Says:

    Another 2nd round bust by licht. Since 2021 this dude has missed on too many
    1st and 2nd round picks. JTS, Logan hall, braswell, morrison. Cancey (guy is always hurt)
    Kyle trask. Now the bill is due and we re looking at a full rebuild.

  21. BatW Says:

    Why hasn’t Licht found a quality CB Backup that can play. Ya that’s you Licht, quit sitting on your ass and find us a CB that can play

  22. BucU Says:

    Did Morrison due ANY offseason preventive maintenance to his body like daily stretching/yoga exercises? 23 yrs old and constantly injured. Im betting his teammates are quietly starting to looking sideways at his “durability”.
