The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had been healthy through the first three days of padded practices – until Thursday when reserve running back and return specialist T.J. Logan went down and had to be carted off the field. Logan was tackled to the ground awkwardly and was seen grabbing his right leg near the end of Thursday’s full-padded 11-on-11 session.
Logan was screaming in pain and couldn’t put any weight on the right leg and was loaded up into the cart and taken to the training room.
Mike Evans very vocal after Logan carted off, telling defense, “we can’t do that. We need everybody!”

“You never want to see a player down,” Bruce Arians said after practice. “Especially a guy having a camp as good as he was having. We’ll wait and see what’s happening with it, it’s still too early to tell, but we’ll wait and see.
“When it’s a non-tackling period I don’t want any tackling. When we’re tackling we tackle, but the last thing you do is grab a jersey. I can see on film if you made the tackle or not, we’ll see how it goes. There’s certain practice etiquette you have to follow, young guys tend to struggle with that.”
