At training camp Yaya Diany just went down and was carted off the field.
Left ankle. Bowles says he doesn't know how bad. I guess it's a positive that it doesn't appear to be an ACL or achilles. We'll see.
Logan Hall in his interview said he saw it and it didn't seem that bad. Perhaps it will just be a high ankle sprain or something like that. Keeping fingers crossed.
so many things have to go really well to have a winning season
yeah hopefully a minor injury or if he's out this year...chalk up YaYa Diaby in the Justin Evans, Kendell Beckweth category of great rookie years, irrelevant buc careers
insane in this game of football how injuries could derail a career
i mean shit Ryan Jensen performing at a high level, didnt play 2022 or 2023 seasons. Shaq Barrett never recovering from his 2022 injury and now retired. Same story with JPP
again, hopefully a minor injury but if he misses regular season time, our pass rush will be even worse than last year!
our pass rush will be even worse than last year!
he would definitely be a big loss, so fingers crossed
This was Bowles in a recent report discussing whether the team needs a double-digit sack end:
“It wouldn’t mean much if the other guys don’t chip in,” Bowles began. “If we have a double-digit sacker and we’re over a 50 sacks, it probably would mean something. If we have a double-digit sacker and we got 25 sacks, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s almost a collaboration.
“We’re rushing well with four guys and they’re getting to the passer, we’ll keep four [rushing]. But there are different people coming and certain people have to sacrifice. And I think we can get a double-digit sacker; that’s not of importance to us. It’s a matter of everybody kind of chipping in, having a collaborative effort, making them scan the entire formation, but we have guys that are very capable.”
Hopefully we do not get to test that theory! Same article said last year we were tied for top in the NFC for sacks? Sure didn't feel that way lol
"X-rays on YaYa Diaby’s ankle were normal. He will undergo an MRI later today but the #Bucs are optimistic and hoping he avoided serious injury when he tangled with Vita Vea."
It is August 1st. They will rest Diaby for the season opener.
Plus, this gives more opportunity to see what Ramirez, Braswell and Watts can do. Bucs have Nelson and JTS as fall backs.
X-rays negative and nothing torn
great news phew!
High ankle sprain. That's good news considering he was carted off.

A high ankle sprain can take longer to heal than a broken bone. Just sayin'.
