Louis Murphy, Akeem Spence Will Not Practice
July 31st, 2015
UPDATED, 12:47 p.m.: Welcome to the NFL. The injury bug already is affecting key Buccaneers.
The Bucs reported to training camp today and, as general manager hinted Tuesday night, there are couple of wounded Buccaneers.
Lovie Smith said today that Akeem Spence, 3 1/2 sacks last year, has a back injury and will not practice tomorrow. Also, per Lovie, Louis Murphy will be out after injuring his ankle with “a freak accident.”
Officially, Murphy is on the Active/Non-Football Injury list and Spence on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list. Their designations can be changed at any time.
Hmm, perhaps this is why the Bucs made the move to re-sign Da’Quan Bowers this week, who ended last season as a defensive tackle.
There are no more details on Murphy. If nothing else, it opens a small door for rookie receivers Kenny Bell and Kaelin Clay, and Russell Shepard.

Now the Bowers signing makes a whole lot of sense.

Okay well I’m obviously too mental to even figure out how to reply to any posts on the message board. I’ve logged in and registered. I see other people posting, but there is nowhere for my to reply, or click anything to reply. I’m totally lost in there.

If Muphy is going our #3 WR, he needs as many reps with Winston as possible. The good news is we drafted K. Bell.

Speaking for Pablo
“Pablo will not practice….Pablo injured his groin & both hamstrings “rough table dancing”….Pablo considers the injuries minor.”

How can they be injured the first day of camp?
What the hell have they been doing all off season that they are hurt on the first day?
Ridiculous.

Spence on Pup list. I bet he injured his back in the weight room.

Gotta a feeling that Kenny Bell will have the speed and hands to kill defenses, keying on the Big guys.
Murphy better be careful. Not the best time for Freak injuries. Might lead to freak unemployment
