The Bucs wrapped up the first week of their 2023 training camp at the AdventHealth Training Center in Tampa under sunny skies and much hotter conditions on Friday. Temperatures were in the low 90s with a light breeze.
Bucs Not Practicing Today
WR Russell Gage
Gage did not practice on Thursday. It has been revealed that Gage pulled a hamstring back in May and missed all of the OTAs and the mandatory mini-camp. He is expected to miss the first week of training camp and the hope is that he’ll return to action next week.
“When the trainers tell me he’s ready, he’s ready,” Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said
Bowles also shared that Gage is still penciled in as the No. 3 receiver.
“Right now, he is,” Bowles said. “I’m not going to promote anybody in t-shirts and shorts – I’ve said this forever. As the competition goes, when he gets back, we’ll see if anybody passes him.”
