Kendell Beckwith, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' second-year linebacker, suffered an ankle injury in a single-car crash last week in Louisiana, potentially putting his participation in training camp in doubt. General Manager Jason Licht revealed that news on Thursday during his annual pre-draft press conference, noting that Beckwith was a passenger in the car and that the injury included a fracture and required surgery.
Beckwith's surgery took place on Tuesday and Licht said it is too early to give a specific prognosis as to when he could return to the field. He did not rule out the possibility that Beckwith could miss the start of the season.
