Bucs LB Kendell Beckwith had surgery on fractured ankle

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting strongside linebacker Kendell Beckwith was involved in a car accident last week in which he suffered a fractured ankle and had to undergo surgery, general manager Jason Licht said Thursday.

"It was a one-car accident last week back home in Louisiana. He was a passenger in the car," Licht said. "He had to have surgery on his ankle Tuesday afternoon. Right now, it's unfair to give a timeline with him. We're very fortunate that it wasn't life-threatening for him or the passenger."

Licht declined to provide specifics beyond the fractured ankle, but confirmed that he will miss OTAs.
