Kenyan Drake is sporting a walking boot today after injuring his foot in practice on Tuesday. It makes his availability for the Tampa Bay pre-season game in doubt.
The injury will open more opportunity for Kalen Ballage who saw a decent workload in the first pre-season game last week. There has been a camp battle between the two throughout camp with Ballage taking many of the first-team reps. Despite Ballage being the primary runner, it was Drake who started.
Now with Drakes injury, it will be Ballage who will handle the early duties. The degree and the exact nature of Drake’s injury is unclear at this time.
