Cornerback Cameron Kinley has reportedly received clearance to participate in Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp after the United States Military initially denied him.
According to Lucas Tomlinson of Fox News, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has given Kinley the OK, and the Pentagon will make an official announcement on the matter.
Kinley tweeted the following on Tuesday, apparently in reference to the good news:
After starring as a defensive back at Navy, Kinley signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent this offseason.
Kinley's representatives, Divine Sports and Entertainment, said last month that he wasn't given a reason he could not delay his service, per ESPN.
