Robert Hainsey Carted Off
August 10th, 2022
UPDATED 12:10 p.m. – Not what anyone wanted to see at One Buc Palace (video below).
Backup turned starting-center-in-waiting, Robert Hainsey, was carted off the field near the end of practice.
He was helped to the cart and maybe, just maybe, it’s a cramp. And head coach Todd Bowles didn’t rule that out after practice but would not (could not?) provide an update on what happened to Hainsey.
ESPN NFL insider Jeff Darlington noted on Twitter that just last night he talked to a Bucs official who said Hainsey was performing well enough in training camp that the team was not planning to chase a center on the open market.
12:10 p.m. Darlington says on Twitter that a ranking Bucs source tells him Hainsey had severe cramping and that’s it. (Phew!)
Welp the Bucs backup center Robert Hainsey had to be helped off the field by two trainers and then carted to the locker room. pic.twitter.com/uh33RoAo3t

Oh no!!!!!
August 10th, 2022 at 12:12 pm
Wirf’s was just on NFL network and he said he thinks itt is just cramping.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:12 pm
Maybe it’s time to use some of that WR depth and trade for a center.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:12 pm
Unbelievable. Just Unbelievable.
This is laughable now. Pathetic.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:12 pm
CRAMP, you don’t ride shotgun with an injury. Do you?
August 10th, 2022 at 12:13 pm
Fudge
August 10th, 2022 at 12:15 pm
Darlington just reported its bad cramping. What a scare though
August 10th, 2022 at 12:15 pm
The Bucs need to sign or trade for a vet IOL, someone who has experience at Center.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:16 pm
Lenny said it wasn’t serious also.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:16 pm

“Dang girl you got the devil in you “. “No cramps”

August 10th, 2022 at 12:33 pm

August 10th, 2022 at 12:33 pm

@BIRD

August 10th, 2022 at 12:34 pm
Don’t get carted for cramps
August 10th, 2022 at 12:36 pm
Take a Midol and get back out there! jk
August 10th, 2022 at 12:36 pm
How much for one rib?
August 10th, 2022 at 12:36 pm
Too much practice in too much heat?
August 10th, 2022 at 12:37 pm
Robert crampsey , all is well
Gobucs!

You need to relax lol The Wayans are by far the funniest family in the history of families
August 10th, 2022 at 12:38 pm
Was the plan based on hainsey not getting hurt all season?
August 10th, 2022 at 12:48 pm
This report gaave me intense cramps, I took a half bottle of Panidol. Feeling better.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:49 pm
Wirfs said just cramping as well.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:54 pm
Settle down folks. Just needs fluids. It’s friggin’ hot in Tampa.
August 10th, 2022 at 12:57 pm
Dooley: “how much for one rib” was Chris Rock..
August 10th, 2022 at 12:58 pm
Thank goodness for the update before I read this. Not sure I coulda handled that news.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:00 pm
PUT WIRFS IN BUBBLE WRAP
August 10th, 2022 at 1:04 pm
Severe cramping.
Not fun at all.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:05 pm
@ #8
Awesome reference… One of Chris Rock’s best roles.
LOL!!!
August 10th, 2022 at 1:07 pm
Give Hainsey some Midol… That’s what my mom used to take for cramps.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:07 pm
It was chris rock in im gonna get you sucka. So wayans movie
August 10th, 2022 at 1:17 pm
I guess we better get Tretter. If Hainsey goes down for multiple games, we’re screwed.
Sign Tretter if we can afford him and let Hainsey come in on some snaps near the end of winning games. Win Win situation!
August 10th, 2022 at 1:19 pm
Why isn’t there better heat management? Hydration, etc.
I think they need to bring in a veteran G/C regardless. What if this were a reg. season game?
August 10th, 2022 at 1:21 pm
@GoFortheFace30
Keenan Ivory-WAYANS wrote the script and directed the movie.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:22 pm
Either way they need to go sign another damn Center because we are 1 injury away at that position to be totally screwed for the season.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:27 pm
Heres the deal, and I hate going there….but if Jensen cant return, then why hold onto him? Use that cash to get Tretter….(i know easier said than done)
and what if Jensen comes back a little too soon and gets reinjured….
This is why I wanted a Center in the first rd instead of JTS (and at the time I didnt know Jensen would be back)…oh well. Im still hoping JTS works out, we already know the Trask situation.

I’m 67 still work outdoors a couple of days a week at a golf course. Last month on a real hot day I played a couple of holes before my shift ended, and started to cramp up. Man that was painful. Hours later at home I could’nt hold a fork to eat because my hands cramped so bad. I tried laying down, and my leg cramped so bad I had to get up, and walk it off. This Fl heat, and cramping are no joke. That’s why I think they should practice indoors, more than out. Working out in heat to get use to it is a myth. It breaks the body down, more than building it up. Use the Glazer shed for gods sake. First two games are in AC domes. To much practicing outside is just stupid.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:38 pm
Better get someone else in here! This could happen during the game and your really have no descent backup.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:43 pm
Man there’s a lot of cliff jumpers on this site.
August 10th, 2022 at 1:45 pm
We always took salt tablets before practicing in the heat. Not sure if they still do that. Give him a couple IVs, he’ll be fine. Hopefully….. Cramping is extremely painful. GOB has witnessed grown ass men, nearly brought to tears. If you’ve ever had them, you know of what I speak.

Coconut water and bananas

I used to get night cramps in my calf and foot after going back to work in the hot sun, I know cramps (yard driver). It usually happened the first 2 days back after 3 days off. I started buying a medium size jar of pickles. I take 4-5 gulps and eat one before bed. I also take a potassium and zinc supplement with it…and make sure I drink plenty of water throughout the day while at work. No more cramps.
If I skip a day here and there, I feel it trying, then immediately go to the pickle juice.
August 10th, 2022 at 2:06 pm
zinc/magnesium…its called zma, its cheap on amazon
August 10th, 2022 at 2:16 pm
Max, yes. The general rule is half your weight in ounces of water per day. If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. Brady drinks something like two gallons a day, so a guy the size of Hainsey would need more. It really isn’t that hard if you just drink consistently throughout the day.
I must caution people though. If you’re not active, and drink that much, you could give yourself a heart attack. Hyponatremia is a condition that basically dilutes the potassium levels in your blood. The heart’s electrical system runs on potassium.
August 10th, 2022 at 2:19 pm
I had bad cramps one day. and my neighbor who was a welder who’s used to working in the heat. He told me that to avoid cramps he would drink a pint tomato juice every day before work. also I heard fish oil tables every day works
August 10th, 2022 at 2:32 pm
Maybe Bowles should notice Evans and Gage pull hamstrings and now Hainsey cramps up. Maybe dial back the work in the blazing heat and practice more in that beautiful indoor practice facility
August 10th, 2022 at 2:37 pm
Even if he is fine, the Bucs need to have a strong #2 at center unless Jenson is going to be back in three or four months.
August 10th, 2022 at 2:54 pm
I went to the last night of “Tilted-Kilt” in Clearwater & they’d already shut the A/C off (like in the middle of June, I believe it was)… It Was Like A SAUNA in there. Afterwards, I went with about 5-6 of those ‘Kilt-gals’ over to “Razzels” & closed it down. Long story short… I was in bad shape the next day. SO BAD that TWICE, the calf-muscle in my left-leg, cramped so damn bad, that it looked like a dented tin-can!!!! It. Was. AWFUL.
August 10th, 2022 at 3:02 pm
This is why l’ve been constantly saying GET TRETTER!!!!
What if Hainsey gets injured, I’ve been saying!!!
The Bucs are insane for not going after a veteran center!!!!
NEED BACKUPS!!!
August 10th, 2022 at 3:11 pm
Probably Brady’s last season. Agree with Passing, get a Vet with center experience.
August 10th, 2022 at 3:13 pm
Stay seated and remain calm.
August 10th, 2022 at 3:23 pm
Stay hydrated! Especially going against another team in practice. You have to imagine the intensity level just went through the roof after a week of just themselves.

JoeBucs fan bloggers have decided to sign Tretter to replace you on the golf course two days a week just in case you can’t do your duties for part of the year. No need to worry. We got the backup Kody wanted. Just not for the situation he wanted.
August 10th, 2022 at 3:52 pm
Well, that’s not good. My hopes of ending training camp relatively healthy are being dashed.
August 10th, 2022 at 4:23 pm
Dang… Just move a wr to center. There, problem solved. 😂
They’ll be ok. GO BUCS!!
August 10th, 2022 at 4:31 pm
Laurent Duvernay Tardif is a resident MD at my hospital.
He is potentially looking to return to NFL
Licht should call him.
Give us a veteran with Superbowl experience at guard.
August 10th, 2022 at 5:18 pm
I BELIEVE WE SHOULD GO AFTER TRETTER FOR DEPTH & EXPERIENCE..WE ARE ONLY GOING TO GO AS FAR AS A HEALTHY TOM BRADY CAN TAKE US..HE’S TOO VALUABLE TO THE TEAM TO TAKE UNNESSASARY CHANCES WITH OUR FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK..HE HAS TO HAVE THE TIME TO HIT ALL THOSE STAR RECIEVERS WE’VE ACCUMULATED..
August 10th, 2022 at 5:27 pm
TRY TO SIGN TRETTER TO A ONE YEAR PROVE IT DEAL WITH ASPIRATIONS OF A SUPER BOWL RING AT THE END OF THE SEASON..COM’N TOM BRADY, WE NEED YOUR PR WORK TO DO IT’S MAGIC..
August 10th, 2022 at 7:18 pm
….Cramps and the HC doesn’t know or can’t tell?
August 10th, 2022 at 10:41 pm
Hes not conditioned yet. Should be able to stand on one leg if cramps and not carted off like he broke a bone.
August 10th, 2022 at 11:49 pm
Need a plan b…too much riding on this season
August 11th, 2022 at 5:21 am
Approach the expected 6-11 or 7-10 Detroit Lions and make an offer they can’t refuse for Frank Ragnow. Rags is signed thru 2027, so he’s going to be pricey. We are, however, all-in for 2022, right? I believe Rags began as a Guard, so if Jensen successfully returns in 2023, Frank can slide one spot left and our o-line is completely dominant in 2023. If Brady remains or retires, that won’t alter the need for a top notch group of big uglies.
August 11th, 2022 at 11:29 am
I read somewhere on this site that Tretter cant pass a physical.
If true it kind of makes all this Tretter talk…nonsense.
