Buccaneers' Cam Gill: Taking part in training camp
Gill (foot) was a participant during practice Thursday.
Gill missed the entirety of the 2022 campaign due to a Lisfranc injury suffered during training camp. However, he's now fully healthy, and he should be working to earn a depth role in the Buccaneers' linebacker corps.

Buccaneers' Russell Gage: Looking healthy
Gage (leg) is participating in 11-on-11s, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Smith adds that Gage caught a 20-yard pass from the slot during Thursday's practice while taking a first-team rep in 11 personnel. That will likely be his role once the season begins, working as the third receiver behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, though it remains to be seen how they typically align under new offensive coordinator Dave Canales. There's already discussion of Evans moving around more in the new offense, and both Gage and Godwin arguably are at their best when operating from the slot. Versatility is a good thing, of course, but Gage might have a rather low rate of targets per route if he spends a good chunk of his time on the perimeter and shares the field with a healthy Evans and healthy Godwin. In any case, Gage seems to have moved past the leg injury that limited his participation in spring practices and the first week of training camp.

Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Has three-down upside
Offensive coordinator Dave Canales expects White to be "fantastic" and recently told reporters the running back is "so natural" and has a well-rounded skillset, Scott Smith of buccaneers.com reports.
It's an optimistic outlook given that White's rookie season was a mixed bag, in which he played all 17 games (eight starts) and caught 50 of 58 targets (86.2 percent) but averaged only 5.8 yards per reception and 3.7 yards per carry (129/481/1 rushing line). On the other hand, Canales seemingly isn't the only one in the organization with this level of optimism, considering the Bucs didn't draft a running back and brought in only Chase Edmonds and Patrick Laird as veteran additions. Both are more likely to get snaps on late downs than early downs, if they even make the team and earn roles, while the competition for carries may come from 2020 third-round pick Ke'Shawn Vaughn and undrafted rookie Sean Tucker. It sets up White for a wide range of outcomes, as he still has a lot to prove but could end up operating as a three-down workhorse if the Bucs like what they see throughout summer and into the season. Few teams, if any, look weaker in the backfield on paper right now, though the Bucs seem cautiously optimistic White alone can change that.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Returns to field
Davis (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday after missing the last two sessions, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Davis' bruised shoulder is fully healed, which is good news for Tampa Bay's secondary. The 26-year-old should remain a starter at corner in 2023, as has been the case since his rookie season in 2018.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Nursing bruised shoulder
Davis has been sidelined for Tampa Bay's previous two practices due to a bruised shoulder, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Coach Todd Bowles did not provide any further detail on Davis' injury. The 26-year-old is projected to start opposite Jamel Dean at cornerback this season, so expect the Bucs to continue erring on the side of caution with his status in order to ensure his health for Week 1. He is coming off a 2022 campaign that saw him record 57 tackles (46 solo), 12 passes defended and one interception across 13 games.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Will miss some time
Kancey is expected to miss four weeks due to a strained calf suffered Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kancey could still be ready Week 1, but he'll be sidelined for at least the majority of training camp. A first-round selection in the 2023 Draft, Kancey was expected to hold down a starting role on the Buccaneers' defensive line. Even if he is ready to go in the season opener, the 22-year-old may need to be eased back into competition.

Buccaneers' Shaquil Barrett: Feels 'close to 100 percent'
Barrett, who suffered a torn Achilles in Week 8 last season, feels like he's already close to full health early in training camp, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Barrett is just a few days over nine months removed from his Oct. 27 Achilles tear, but he managed to avoid the active/PUP list to start training camp and then operated at full speed in the Buccaneers' first practice Wednesday. Barrett credits the team's medical and training staff for developing a plan that put him on pace to be healthy for the start of camp and also allow him to immediately begin participating without restrictions mentally. "All of the running and the change of direction stuff I've been doing with the trainers helped me get a level of confidence in myself," he said. "So, it's just a matter of getting out here and going against an offensive tackle and getting some pressure against me while I'm trying to turn the corner."

Buccaneers' Joe Tryon-Shoyinka: Showing off edge-rushing skills
Tryon-Shoyinka stood out in Monday's pass-rush drills, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
The 2021 first-round pick has amassed four sacks apiece in each of his first two seasons, but the Buccaneers are banking on a significant step forward from the edge-rushing linebacker in 2023. Tryon-Shoyinka offered reason for optimism in that regard Monday, with Dix noting the Washington product put on a nifty inside-outside move that gave him a free path to a sack. Tryon-Shoyinka has continued to hone in on his technique throughout the offseason and continues to display excellent burst off the edge, traits that could lead to career-best numbers in 2023.

Buccaneers' Russell Gage: Another step forward Monday
Gage (lower leg) was able to participate in the first set of 1-on-1 drills between receivers and defensive backs Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The activity level was a step up from Sunday, when Gage was able to jump into individual position drills for the first time. The veteran also participated in those Monday in addition to the reps he took against cornerbacks, leading head coach Todd Bowles to remark that Gage is "getting back to normal." Brianna Dix of the team's official site also notes the 27-year-old looked effective, using both a double move and inside leverage to record catches. Assuming he continues free of setbacks, it seems likely Gage will be able to achieve full practice participation before the end of the week.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Undergoes MRI
Kancey underwent an MRI for his injured calf Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Kancey was carted off the field during Tampa Bay's practice Sunday but MRI results showed that the injury was not serious. The Buccaneers will still likely hold the rookie first-round pick out of practice for the time being to ensure he's healthy for the start of the regular season.
