The Tampa Bay Buccaneers held their first veteran minicamp practice today, which the Bucs get because they hired a new head coach. Here are the most important takeaways from today's practice.
- Injuries! J.R. Sweezy "had a procedure done" and will miss OTAs, according to Dirk Koetter. That's not ideal for your big-name free agency signing.
- More injuries: Ali Marpet, Jacquies Smith, Evan Smith, Louis Murphy and Patrick Murray were all unable to participate. Jacquies Smith is recovering from shoulder surgery, Murphy is recovering from last year's ACL injury and will be out until at least training camp, and Murray is rehabbing a long-term injury as well.
