Big Day 3 for backup quarterback Kyle Trask. That and more in Joe’s on-field practice notes.
Patrolling the fields of One Buc Palace today has yielded Joe’s almost world famous practice notes. Day 3 of training camp is in the books. Remember, it’s not real football yet. Players are not in pads and are not hitting each other. Think flag football with millions of dollars in salary on the line. [read more]

In case you were wondering what became of the Bucs’ average returner and very meh receiver from the 2023 season, Deven Thompkins, he signed with the Panthers today.
Thompkins had a family dispute made public that raised questions about his behavior around the time the Bucs cut him this spring, but the NFL investigated and it seems Thompkins met the league’s standards of acceptable behavior.
He joins ex-Bucs receiver David Moore (epic catch-and-run touchdown against the Eagles in the playoffs last season) trying to make the Panthers team led by former Tampa Bay playcaller Dave Canales.
Making tough catches… so far.
The Bucs have only had two training camp practices. The pads have yet to come on. And even though Joe should know better than to anoint receivers in underwear football, time to dip a toe into the pool. [read more]

Offensive coordinator Liam Coen and Baker Mayfield meet during Day 2 of the Bucs’ 2024 training camp.
So in Day 2 of Bucs training camp, though it is early, very early, Joe suspects there will be a three-way battle for the No. 3 receiver spot, Backup quarterback Kyle Trask improved somewhat from an awful first day of camp, and a high draft pick logged a bunch of reps with the first team.
Again, as a reminder, we’re still in underwear football where hitting is absolutely prohibited. The pads are scheduled to come on Monday, but that is subject to change. [read more]
