Carlton Davis had an unspecified upper body injury in Friday’s scrimmage, and after a day off he sat out practice today.

Is he healthy? Bucco Bruce Arians says it’s nothing serious at all. Fingers crossed 14 days from training camp.

If you’re yearning to really be surrounded by Bucs passion for the Bucs-Saints game on opening day — in 2 short weeks! — Big Storm Brewing Co. in Clearwater is ready for you.

Ira Kaufman and Joe will be there, too!

Florida’s best craft beer, A+ food, great sound and WiFi, and a modern and covered OUTDOOR area (in addition to indoors) make Big Storm the place to be. Joe’s got giveaways for lucky fans, as well. Doors open at 11 a.m. NFL games all day long. So much fun ahead.

The flagship location at 12707 49th Street North in Clearwater hosts Joe’s watch party event for the Bucs-Saints game. Ira Kaufman in the house (outdoor seating, too!) with Florida’s best craft beer and A+ food.

Strong outing.
