When the Bucs waived injured center Donnell Stanley during Tuesday’s roster cut down, it was assumed that rookie center Robert Hainsey might be close to a return. Turns out that assumption was correct as Hainsey returned to practice Wednesday.

The 2021 third round pick had missed the last two weeks of practice with an undisclosed injury. A right tackle in college, Hainsey has been making the transition to center with the Bucs. Before his injury he was exclusively running with the second unit. While dealing with injury, Hainsey was often seen working on his snapping mechanics on the side with quarterback Tom Brady and others. He also received practice reps during the 7-on-7 sessions.

Hainsey joins his teammates in joint practices with the Tennessee Titans prior to Saturday’s preseason matchup. As he eases back into the line up he is working with the third team unit on Wednesday. His status for Saturday’s game remains unknown.

Arians offered a positive report on Hainsey early during camp.

“Yeah, other than the first snap of the practice I thought he had a really, really good practice,” Arians said at the beginning of camp. “He was solid and did a really fine job a couple of times pulling and getting up on people. Identifications were good. It was a really solid day for him. He’s getting better and better.”
Now that he’s back at practice the rookie center will try to continue to build upon a solid start to camp.
