Mid-practice scolding?

Roughly halfway through practice this morning, Joe thought the Bucs called the practice way early. All players, whether from the defensive sideline or the offense gathered behind the quarterback, came forward to the middle of the field. [read more]

Happy moment for the Bucs offense. Starting tight end Cade Otton was back on the practice field today, his first practice this month. Otton had a hamstring injury.

Official good news on running back Rachaad White today.

Sage Ira Kaufman previously shared the positive report on his Sunday podcast: Rachaad White’s groin injury is not serious. Today, head coach coach Todd Bowles said White is “day-to-day.”

“Work with me here, Baker. C’mon.”

Bucs safety Shilo Sanders claps for an incompletion. Het got a lick in on Tennessee quarterback Brandon Allen on the play.

On Saturday night, Joe noticed something he’s never seen. Prior to the game when well-connected fans and players’ families are allowed on the field during warmups, Bucs safety Shilo Sanders was playing catch with a little boy on the other side of the security tape. [read more]
