Benjamin Morrison Is Injured
June 11th, 2026
Brittle Ben?
Second-year cornerback Benjamin Morrison is injured, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said after practice today. Morrison did not practice and Bowles said he has a “leg injury” but offerered no further details.
The first NFL injury report of the season is not required to be released until four days prior to the Week 1 kickoff.
Bowles not sharing more about Morrison’s injury probably means it’s something more than just an annoying toe tweak.
It’s June 11, but the injury is somewhat alarming since Morrison entered last offseason healing from surgery, and then was injured during his rookie season. NFL coaches always say players need to learn out to play and practice when they’re hurting — not injured, hurt.
Is Rasul Douglas’ agent in Jason Licht’s phone?

This guy is more paper-mache than Kancey. FFS I thought these guys were supposed to be the “Gladiators” of our culture. These sissy azz divas can’t play 3 games in a row.
June 11th, 2026 at 1:12 pm
Jason Licht loves his draft picks, thus is what happens when hope for things to happen.
June 11th, 2026 at 1:14 pm
I’ll just say exactly what I said the last time… Well, of course he is! The “Godson” LoL.
June 11th, 2026 at 1:20 pm
Oh man. Here we go!
June 11th, 2026 at 1:25 pm
Rasul, Akuda, Diggs and a few others still out there. We’re already short a couple of vets. JL is waiting for the good ones to get picked up so he can go dumpster diving like always. There will be guys at the cut downs, but unknown quality and quantity.

This is a good thing. It should be painfully obvious by now this kid is damaged goods. Licht thought he was getting a steal in the 2nd round , when I doubt he was even on any team’s draft board. He was injured in high school, college, and now as a pro. Time for Licht to look outside for a real corner. Don’t count on Morrison.
June 11th, 2026 at 1:36 pm
discouraging lol…
lets hope its an ankle sprain and not a hammy…
GO BUCS!!!
June 11th, 2026 at 1:40 pm
Just like Dean, a history of injuries and Licht still took him.
And now it’s a problem.

Gets injured in pajama football! Can’t wait to see how long he lasts when they play for real. Wasted pick!!! Time to get a veteran.

Hodad … ‘He was injured in high school, college, and now as a pro. Time for Licht to look outside for a real corner. Don’t count on Morrison.’
Don’t like counting on him as a starter Hodad, but as a backup I think he’d be fine.

The Bucs have a bad history with their 2nd round draft picks lately. Hopefully, that trend doesn’t continues with Trotter.
June 11th, 2026 at 2:19 pm
Wild that people who couldn’t make it out of high school sports would call some of the greatest athletes on the planet, who worked hard enough to make it to the highest level of one of the toughest sports in the world a “sissy azz diva” because they got an injury severe enough to keep them off the field. Some of these guys play with injuries that would keep your normal person out of work for a month. But they’re a “sissy azz diva” for literally getting injured lol. Would love to see how hard you cry after attempting to tackle an NFL player. You would end up in the hospital for months lol “sissy azz diva” ?
June 11th, 2026 at 2:22 pm
Ouch. Plan so that If he ever contributes its a pleasant surprise
June 11th, 2026 at 2:23 pm
What Christ said. Bunch of pathetic trolls on here.
June 11th, 2026 at 2:24 pm
If we were in August it would concern me more but for now its still very early. Honestly, at his healthiest I’m not sure how good he really is. I wish Licht would’ve gotten another vet CB but he’s not allowed to spend money. Lets see how he feel around training camp.
June 11th, 2026 at 2:31 pm
Many of us including you Joe have been saying it. Morrison and NcColumn are huge gambles, which apparently Licht and Bowles are in denial or can’t see the forest for the trees. Anyway the good news I have been saying , Go get a vet who can play the position let Morrison and McColumn sit on the bench as depth pieces.
That way less time on the field for Morison the the better as far as injuries.
I don’t know how much more of a wake up call you need. Any kind of injury with flag football given his history is not good

Was Morrison the guy Goodell saw on the ground that cost us a practice?
June 11th, 2026 at 2:50 pm
He missed last season’s pre season training. He was getting a pass on production because of that with hopes of producing this season. Now this… Doesn’t look good.
June 11th, 2026 at 2:53 pm
Should be time to acquire a durable vet. As insurance.
June 11th, 2026 at 3:03 pm
I wish we knew what it was. Last year it was the hamstring, but the guy had both hips operated on before we got him- which had me plenty worried. Trotter had about as many surgeries before the draft as Morrison. Yep, that’s my next worry. Management downplaying the risks both those guys presented is gonna kick us directly in the teeth, although we’re gonna “hope” for the best. Inside linebacker and cornerback. If those 2 guys don’t turn out for us, we’ll maybe have learned that most valuable of predictors- your past is the best predictor of your success. Someone better tell Baker we’re gonna have to spend some money on inside linebacker and corner, so he may want to hold back on those prime steaks for a minute or two.
June 11th, 2026 at 3:10 pm
Hopefully it’s not serious
June 11th, 2026 at 3:16 pm
I saw Morrison on a video a few minutes ago. He was standing by a coach or trainer. Looked to me like he was slightly uncomfortable and was maybe trying to loosen up the upper thigh or groin area. hard to tell but it didn’t look too bad.
June 11th, 2026 at 3:16 pm
This is why I was iffy on drafting him from the beginning. Being injury prone.
June 11th, 2026 at 3:20 pm
Easy the sky isn’t falling he is supposed to be back by mandatory mincamp good gracious lol
June 11th, 2026 at 3:27 pm
Bowles God-son.
Nepotism at its finest.
Bowles should be under scrutiny simply for wasting a 2nd round pick on a nephew.
3rd round? Okay.
But Morrison had 2 hip surgeries. Not worth a 2nd round pick. I’m sorry.
Parrish was an amazing pick.
But I’m really tired of wasting 2nd round picks.
Trask, Braswell, Aguayo, MJ Stewart, Logan Hall.
2nd round should always be BPA at high value positions.
The 2nd round is rich with guards, right tackles, safeties, middle linebackers, running backs, and tight ends.
The 2nd round is for great players at undervalued positions. Period!
June 11th, 2026 at 3:28 pm
Next man up! Still early…
June 11th, 2026 at 3:40 pm
Another second round bust for Bud Licht. Same old song and dance.
I’m sure Bowles demanded he get picked because he’s Morrison’s Godfather.
The best ability is availability. Not just another broken toy.
Bowles defense will be an absolute dumpster fire in 2026.
Joe Burrow will have 8 TD’s and 600 yards passing.
June 11th, 2026 at 3:43 pm
Cut him
June 11th, 2026 at 3:46 pm
Bowles also used the term “knicked up” – which implies that its not a serious injury. Surprised Joseph didn’t mention that part….
June 11th, 2026 at 3:58 pm
Pickgrin, I don’t remember the term Coach used for JMac’s supposed neck contusion. But it sure wasn’t “the dude has a broken neck”.
June 11th, 2026 at 4:09 pm
Typical Licht 2nd round pick. This guy is a bust. Our secondary is going to poop the bed this year and will get Bowles fired so I’m ok with it.
June 11th, 2026 at 4:27 pm
That was an excellent and wholly accurate post, Teacherman. 2nd round is where you pick up first round talent at non-premium positions like guard, right tackle, running back, and safety. Nailed it 100%!
Now we need to start following that religiously. Also, I watched a great show earlier that said that Keionte Scott was measured at 4.25 in the 40! There won’t be any more Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson running right around *him*! Blazing speed, exactly what we need on defense! Apparently he measured between 4.25 and 4.39. Even 4.39 is fast enough to avoid that outcome… Jacob Parrish runs in the high 4.3s too. What we have is a bunch of speedy corners.
That’s definitely a good thing.
June 11th, 2026 at 4:35 pm
Also, the show I watched said Keionte Scott should be drafted in the mid first to early second rounds. It was a Miami-based show but that does go to show you just how much we stole that player mid-way through the 4th round! I think we upgraded our defense mightily this year. That will be utterly fantastic if true!
I’m sure Morrison’s injury is a slight groin pull or a cramp. If he’s going to be fine for mandatory mini-camp it’s definitely not something to worry about.
June 11th, 2026 at 5:45 pm
called it last year. another draft failure. 2nd round pick broken when he got here.
June 11th, 2026 at 5:58 pm
Another second round bust by Lynch. As predictable as Hurricqne season starting on June 1.
June 11th, 2026 at 6:34 pm
This won’t be a problem. Parrish is ready to go. We will need him at some point in the season so hopefully he’ll heal up quickly and be ready by week 1.
June 11th, 2026 at 6:37 pm
I didn’t expect him to last the whole season. These injured in college guys are seemingly perpetual walking injuries. He didn’t even make it to training camp.
June 11th, 2026 at 7:37 pm
I’m hoping we grab a free agent CB. We need it.
June 11th, 2026 at 7:43 pm
I’m literally expecting nothing from Morrison, so any help he gives us will be a bonus in my view.
Zyon and Parrish should start at outside CB and Scott and nickel.
Now, if any of those 3 guys go down, we’re hurting.
But Morrison’s health status is no big deal.
June 11th, 2026 at 8:10 pm
It doesn’t matter who is injured, who plays outside, who plays inside. The results will be what we’ve come to expect from the worst coached pass defense in the NFL. Revis or Biggers would look the same in the empty zones schemed by the genis.
June 11th, 2026 at 8:22 pm
Hey Chris no one invited you to come here you know. What does it matter to you that it gets your panties all in a bunch that these athletes who make millions of dollars
June 11th, 2026 at 8:24 pm
@st Pete Matt
Thanks buddy.
I’ve watched a lot of football over the years. And watched every draft since I was kid. And I’ve read over 1000 books in my life.
I love learning and thinking.
So I’m really tired of wasting 2nd round picks!
June 11th, 2026 at 8:57 pm
Not counting on this guy anymore. Let’s get someone to replace him immediately before the season starts. He can rest up or whatever and the team will have a reliable player.
June 11th, 2026 at 9:18 pm
J Dean would be proud.
June 11th, 2026 at 9:36 pm
So ridiculous!!
Maybe someday they will have an NFLPA that understands more practice and more hitting in the offseason actually benefits the players and makes it safer.
As it is now, they barely practice and when they do, they don’t hit.
So every year the season starts and players drop like flies because they’re not in “game shape.”
This is another reason why I can’t stand the focus on safety.
The NFL are hypocrites.
They want to go to 18 games. They want teams to travel all over the world playing games. They won games on possibly Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc. constantly giving the players more travel and less rest.
But then if you breathe on a quarterback wrong, they call it a penalty and say it’s about player safety.
June 11th, 2026 at 9:38 pm
Accidentally posted the above in the wrong article
June 11th, 2026 at 9:42 pm
I’m fully expecting him to miss a nice chunk of the season. Until proven otherwise he’s soft like charmin
June 11th, 2026 at 9:47 pm
Let’s not bury Morrison in June. Let’s see how he’s doing through training camp and in early September.
June 11th, 2026 at 10:55 pm
He was injured in high school, college, and now as a pro. Time for Licht to look outside for a real corner. Don’t count on Morrison.
Stop relying on Light then! It’s a pattern for 12 years!

As long as Licht picks an offensive lineman in the second round, he nails those second-round picks. Everyone else either gets hurt or is a stiff.
Well, except for Antoine Winfield.
June 11th, 2026 at 11:14 pm
hasn’t been a healthy reliable f ball player for three years !! the problem is he needs to play about 10 pounds heavier which he may not be the player that he is and most likely won’t be………… too much muscle not enough water
June 11th, 2026 at 11:19 pm
The dude is basically still a rookie….I’m still giving him a chance.
Too early to give up on him just yet.
June 12th, 2026 at 6:58 am
They cancelled our practice anyway
June 12th, 2026 at 9:26 am
This is exactly why licht needs to sign another CB. He is playing with fire. It’s malpractice not adding another CAPABLE body.
June 12th, 2026 at 12:56 pm
Todd’s injury prone nepo-baby. Licht should have been the adult and told him no.

You already know what I’m going to say

“We like the guys we got”
“Our young guys need the reps”
