TAMPA, Fla. -- A right calf strain suffered by Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Calijah Kancey is not significant and should only keep him out a few weeks, sources told ESPN Monday.
Kancey, the 19th overall draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft, pulled up during a drill and was carted off the field Sunday. On Monday, he underwent an MRI, which revealed no significant damage to the calf, with the source describing it as a "best case scenario."
The Buccaneers plan to allow Kancey to take things week by week and focus on getting the expected starter prepared for the season opener on Sept.
