Second-year defensive end Noah Spence won't take part in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' organized team activity days (OTAs) or the mandatory full-team mini-camp in June. Spence played much of his rookie season while dealing with a shoulder injury that required him to wear a harness – impressing the team with his grit in the process – and now the correction of that issue has him focusing on rehab.
Spence is scheduled to return to the field when training camp arrives in late July. According to some of those closest to him at One Buccaneer Place, it will be well worth the wait.
