TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Sergio Bailey II suffered a serious ankle injury in warmups prior to Friday night's preseason game after a heavy downpour created sloppy conditions.
Bailey was warming after a 59-minute weather delay against the Detroit Lions at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa when he planted his foot wrong on the field, which had become quite soggy after a heavy downpour of rain.
"When we were in the team segment [of warmups] -- four plays -- and it's just, the tempo of that is probably 60 percent tempo," said head coach Dirk Koetter.
