Bad News On Calijah Kancey And Logan Hall
September 8th, 2024
Calijah Kancey did not play today and don’t expect him next Sunday.
Joe hates to pop the balloon on a fantastic Bucs victory today, 37-20 over the Commandos, but news is news and it must be shared.
Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht joined the Buccaneers Radio Network before the game and said referred to recent injuries to defensive linemen Calijah Kancey and Logan Hall.
Kancey hurt his calf Friday in practice and was scratched from today’s game. Hall has a foot injury that seemed to come out of nowhere. He landed on the injured list Wednesday and did not practice last week.
“Yeah, we had some unfortunate, just freaky almost non-contact injuries that we’re going to be dealing with for a few weeks,” Licht said, noting his backup defensive tackles C.J. Brewer, Mike Greene and newcomer Ben Stille (signed last week) would have to step up.
Licht did not mention Hall and Kancey by name, but the implication was obvious.
So it sure sounds like both D-line starters will be on the shelf next week in Detroit. Kancey is a huge loss.
After today’s game, head coach/defensive coordinator Todd Bowles praised Greene and Brewer for stepping up with little experience this season. Veterans Will Gholston and Greg Gaines played a lot in the absences of Kancey and Hall.

Ourn new offense will help.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:10 pm
Kancey is a really big loss against top tier teams. Go get reddick
September 8th, 2024 at 8:12 pm
Maybe Anthony Nelson can get some snaps at DE.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:14 pm
SPEAKING OF DEFENSE…
Did Jamel Dean even play in the game today? I don’t recall hearing his name? Seriously.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:16 pm
It’s now fair to say Kancey is injury prone and fragile. Licht is gonna have to find a pass rush somewhere else.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:18 pm
Need Kancey out there.
And need to get Britt off the field, permanently. Can’t overstate how bad he was today.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:21 pm
Dean was busy making McLaurin fully disappear.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:22 pm
The defense is already injured. Week one. Yikes!
September 8th, 2024 at 8:23 pm
Dennis ended up being 7 tackles and a sack, and it sure seemed like he played a lot less snaps than Britt.
If Dennis can stay healthy, he might end up being the answer at the other MLB spot.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:23 pm
and yaya didn’t get his name on the stat sheet
September 8th, 2024 at 8:23 pm
Sirvocea Dennis played well when he was in, I think he had a penalty but still–it was like his first game–last year he was hurt. I even saw Tryon Shoyinka got a sack.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:27 pm
Hey Joe, calf injury typically take awhile to heal. I was afraid when I heard that.
Guess would be 4 weeks cause if you dont let it heal completely, it will just come back.
yes unfortunate news, even worse the cb McColum, really thin there, and Detroit next week, wow
September 8th, 2024 at 8:27 pm
secondary is also somewhat in shambles now…so early on…like a couple years back…
good solid win, but against a team that honestly looks like a 5-6 win ball club…
offense looks darn good for a week one performance
(week one is kinda like an extension of preseason, but it counts)…
bucky looks really good
September 8th, 2024 at 8:28 pm
Britt was terrible today. Dennis was much better. Put him on the field.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:28 pm
Our offense will have to carry us..,
September 8th, 2024 at 8:32 pm
Sorry Todd Bowles is close lipped about specific injuries, it helps to have an idea what we are up against
September 8th, 2024 at 8:33 pm
The defense isn’t carrying us against the top teams. You guys don’t want to say it but the quarterback is going to have to put up real numbers and get us in the endzone. This where baker has to earn his paycheck like week 2
September 8th, 2024 at 8:34 pm
Bucs defense will be fine. The offense will be great when they stop handing the ball to Rachaad and keep feeding Bucky.
Bucky had 6.89 yards per carry/ Rachaad had 2.05 yards.
Rachaad White is a slot receiver and not a running back. Bucky is the future.

=============
Yeah, I just worry that Dennis was only out there because the Bucs got a lead – and we’re going to see more of Britt out there doing his best Ryan Neal impression, personally giving up huge plays leading to easy TDs.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:41 pm
Baker is league MVP so far!
September 8th, 2024 at 8:43 pm
Antoine Winfield has a boot on his foot in the locker room…. that is bad.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:44 pm
Im guessing Bryce is going on IR as well. Wouldnt mind seeing Isaac back, we certainly need the help.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:46 pm
Kancey and Hall out.
Zyon with concussion.
Winfield with a boot on his leg.
Defense dropping like flies.
September 8th, 2024 at 8:59 pm
Sad cause Cancey was promising but seems he’ll be derailed by being injury prone
September 8th, 2024 at 9:07 pm
Trask to the Future: Dean was busy shutting down their #1 receiver, don’t worry about it.
September 8th, 2024 at 9:32 pm
Well the offense might have to put up 50 a game because this defense is basically handicapped at this point. First game of the season and half the defense is injured.
September 8th, 2024 at 9:40 pm
As if we needed further proof that you’re clueless about football…
Ever heard of a WR named Terry McLaurin? Dean was on him all game until the 4th quarter. Go check his stats today and then get back to us with your question.
September 8th, 2024 at 10:10 pm
Damn was hoping Kancey was a one week thing.
September 8th, 2024 at 10:13 pm
All these people saying Kancey is injury prone ? He missed 3 games last year and 1 so far this year . Pump the brakes that’s about average for a starter . Vita missed 5 games over the last two seasons and a lot more over his first few seasons . A lot of this ish is just luck . Diaby would have missed 2-3 games had his injury came when Kanceys did instead of at the beginning of the preseason . Go Bucs!
September 8th, 2024 at 10:36 pm
TRASK… The answer is yes. He pretty much shut down his man the whole game. When a CB plays great, other than INT, you don’t hear his name because his receivers aren’t making catches or plays on him
September 8th, 2024 at 10:37 pm
I am really looking forward to seeing KANCEY play this year, this sucks

I was another one that thought Kancey could be back against the Lions, now unsure. Still hoping though. He was missed yesterday.
Overall great game! Bowles and the rest will figure it out before next week. Keeping the momentum going!

Kancey = INJURY PRONE. F A C T. Live with it.
September 9th, 2024 at 10:07 am
Yes the defense is crippled going to Detroit but the offense is healthy. Detroit had to gut it out with the OT win vs Rams. Playing a late game and playing OT while the Bucs coasted does give the Bucs some advantage as they will be better rested but that isn’t going to be a major issue.
Goff looked rusty but the Lions ran the ball down the Rams throat. Hoping these replacements on D line can play the run.
The Bucs passing game with McMillan’s addition is going to be difficult for defenses to match up with. White is dangerous after the catch. Bucky is the long term solution running the ball. The Bucs should add another wrinkle and put White in motion so he can be another target in the passing game and have Bucky in the game at same time.
September 9th, 2024 at 10:10 am
Bucs Defense has been carrying the load for years. Long past time the Offense and Special Teams returned the favor. If we’re gonna get bit by Buc Luck (injuries), let it be now, and not at the end of the season. Lions in Motown will be a YUGE test. They aren’t the kitties anymore.
September 9th, 2024 at 11:14 am
Kancey is turning into a bum. He’ll be out for weeks again just like last year.

Zyon Missed 4 games his rookie season and now he’s got a concussion is he also injury prone ?
Lavonte David missed 5 games in 21’ and 2 games in 23’. It’s football , most defenders miss a few games a year , get over it . Now if he comes back in a week or two and then misses 6-8 games that’s a different story . Missing 2-3 games a year isn’t “ injury prone “ as most of our defense misses time at some point
September 9th, 2024 at 1:37 pm
Kancey’s calf is and will be a huge issue. Can’t stay on the field. Sounds like he won’t be rhe standout we were hoping for. Played first game last year out 3-4 games. Not top tier if you aren’t on the field.
September 9th, 2024 at 7:41 pm
missing Hall is—- NO Loss at all
September 10th, 2024 at 12:34 am
Dean shut down Terry McLaren the ENTIRE game ! Probably one of Dean’s best games ever
September 10th, 2024 at 12:39 am
This is what teams go through every year. Better now than later in the year before the playoffs. After the Lions , we get Denver. So if he’s out 2 weeks , then we can get through it. Bandwagon fans 🙄
September 10th, 2024 at 11:24 pm
Honestly surprised Dean and Vita are still healthy, but otherwise we are right on track. Our DTs and CBs are all injured the first week of the season and all expected to miss significant time. Yeah!
