Some Bucs banged up after preseason opener, none seriously

TAMPA — Coach Dirk Koetterstresses that none of the injuries should be long term, but 11 players — including first-round CB Vernon Hargreaves — were held out Saturday as the Bucs practiced for the first time since Thursday's preseason opener at the Eagles.

Hargreaves, the former Wharton High and Florida standout whose injury wasn't specified, watched practice with a bucket hat on.

TE Brandon Myers (knee) was also sidelined, as were OT Leonard Wester, S Elijah Shumate and long-snapper Andrew DePaola, all with unspecified injuries.
