Rookies Get Jump Start on Camp

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.

While NFL teams are not allowed to start training camp for their veterans more than 15 days prior to their first preseason game, they do have the option of bringing in rookies a week early.
