Mike Evans is excited — which should make Buc fans very excited.

As he enters his 10th NFL season, the most accomplished wide receiver in franchise history can’t wait to implement the diverse new offense designed by Dave Canales. Evans thought he had run every route tree imaginable during nine consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

Then he got a look at the devious challenges Canales has crafted for Tampa Bay opponents. [read more]

Fans — and Mike Evans — are well aware that the Bucs legend has no contract for the 2024 season, which would be his 11th in the NFL. [read more]

Joe was pleased to hear Devin White talk about what most defensive coordinators when they prepare for the Bucs. [read more]

Bucs OC Dave Canales.

You want to know why Joe thinks there is a real chance Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales is potentially a one-and-done coach with the Bucs? [read more]

Back at practice.

Receiver Russell Gage was standing on the back patio of One Buc Palace under the cover of shade, looking out at the practice fields of One Buc Palace after practice Monday. [read more]

Grounded.

Joe feared the Bucs were going to play this like last year’s Ryan Jensen knee injury. But now we have light shed on Calijah Kancey’s injury. [read more]

Bucs safety Ryan Neal.

Joe has noticed a trend at Bucs practices. [read more]

YaYa Diaby beginning to make an impact.

Rookie right guard Cody Mauch.

Todd Bowles may sing a different tune after watching film of his rookie right guard tangling with Vita Vea and Will Gholston during today’s first practice in pads of the season.

Not missed?

The buzz surrounding the Bucs the past three years might have been a little overbearing for more than a few Buccaneers. [read more]

A Coast Guard chopper demonstrates how it lowers someone to render aid a half-hour before Bucs practice Monday morning. It was the annual “Military Day” at training camp honoring current members of the Armed Forces as well as veterans.

Kyle Trask had his best practice of his NFL career, another drafted rookie joins the pick club and Mike Alstott still draws a crowd. All this and more in today’s practice notes. [read more]
