Well, after appearing on the injury report Friday due to a calf injury, Buccaneers have officially ruled out defensive tackle Calijah Kancey for Sunday’s season opener against Washington.
Tampa Bay was already thin along the defensive line with Logan Hall also being ruled out for the game and Earnest Brown being placed on IR Thursday. But the loss of Kancey — who is expected to have a big second year — will hurt the Bucs as they look to stop rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
The Buccaneers did add some reinforcements along the defensive line, however.
