Bucs Rumors: Calijah Kancey Expected to Miss 4 Weeks with Calf Injury; Week 1 TBD

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will reportedly be without rookie defensive tackle Calijah Kancey for four weeks due to a strained calf, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter noted Kancey might be ready to return for Tampa Bay's season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 10.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported Monday that an MRI revealed "nothing serious," although he left open the possibility of the team holding out the defensive tackle "for a while to get him ready for the regular season."

Kancey was carted off the field when he suffered the injury during a drill at a training camp practice.
