Big Day 3 for backup quarterback Kyle Trask. That and more in Joe’s on-field practice notes.
Patrolling the fields of One Buc Palace today has yielded Joe’s almost world famous practice notes. Day 3 of training camp is in the books. Remember, it’s not real football yet.

So in Day 2 of Bucs training camp, though it is early, very early, Joe suspects there will be a three-way battle for the No. 3 receiver spot, Backup quarterback Kyle Trask improved somewhat from an awful first day of camp, and a high draft pick logged a bunch of reps with the first team.
Again, as a reminder, we’re still in underwear football where hitting is absolutely prohibited. The pads are scheduled to come on Monday, but that is subject to change.[read more]
