For about a quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' roster, training camp has already begun.
The full team will take the field for the first time on Saturday, a training camp kickoff at camp headquarters that will be open to public viewing. Veterans will actually report for camp on Friday, taking care of weigh-ins and other formalities. For the team's rookies, however, the process actually began on Monday.
