Hey Folks,

The Buccaneers’ promising offseason just hit an unexpected hurdle. After determining that their training intensity crossed a line, the NFL recently penalized Tampa Bay at OTA practice. The setback immediately put Bucs’ HC under scrutiny, prompting him to speak out.

While NFL teams use OTAs to help players settle into their system, the Buccaneers have pushed things a little too far in this process.

Another day of the Mandatory Minicamp is behind us! Here are 5 key takeaways from the recent sessions:

  • Bengals TE Erick All Jr. took part in controlled on-field work as he continues his recovery from multiple ACL surgeries.

  • Browns RB Quinshon Judkins looked explosive during 7-on-7 drills, barreling down the field less than six months after suffering an ankle injury.

  • Texans rookie TE Marlin Klein was sidelined during practice as he deals with a hamstring injury.

  • Seahawks DB Nick Emmanwori spent time working with the team's pass rushers as Seattle looks to expand his versatility on defense.

  • Chiefs rookie CB Mansoor Delane did not participate in practice while recovering from a shoulder injury.

NFL star Blake Corum's life doesn't stop when he leaves the field.

We followed the Rams RB from practice to the boardroom, and his thoughts on football, fatherhood, and what comes next are not what you'd expect.
