Full participant in practice Kancey (calf) was a full participant in Tampa Bay's practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Impact Kancey is now on track to make his season debut Sunday versus the Saints after missing the first five games due to a calf injury. The 23-year-old will likely start on the defensive line alongside Vita Vea and Logan Hall in the upcoming matchup.

OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out once again Head coach Todd Bowles stated Kancey (calf) will be out Thursday against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Kancey has yet to play this season since suffering the injury in practice during Week 1 prep. Bowles told Greg Auman of Fox Sports that Kancey hasn't suffered any setbacks and if the game was taking place Sunday, he might be able to play.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP Kancey (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury estimation.

Impact Kancey has missed the Buccaneers' first four contests due to this calf issue, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up Thursday night. If Kancey is unable to suit up again in Week 5, expect C.J. Brewer to see additional work on the Buccaneers' defensive line.

Ruled out for Week 4 Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Kancey (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Kancey will miss his fourth straight game to open the 2024 campaign. Greg Gaines, William Gholston and Mike Greene will continue to soak up the reps along the interior of the Bucs' defensive line with Kancey and Vita Vea (knee) banged up.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making progress Kancey (calf) was working on the side with trainers during practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Kancey has yet to play this season after injuring his calf during Week 1 prep. His return to the field in any form is a sign the Minnesota product is making progress in his recovery, but as Auman insinuates, he's probably closer to doubtful than questionable for this Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. However, his status for Thursday and Friday will likely bring better clarity there.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again for Week 3 Coach Todd Bowles said Kancey (calf) will not play Sunday against the Broncos, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Kancey will have to wait another week to make his 2024 debut. The Bucs are dealing with injuries to both Kancey and Vita Via (knee) on the interior of the defensive line, leaving Greg Gaines, William Gholston and Mike Greene to soak up extra snaps.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • SUNHERALD.COM

Won't play Week 2 Kancey (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Kancey is now in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 2 as the 23-year-old continues to recover from the calf injury he sustained one week ago. Expect William Gholston and Ben Stille to see increased work with the Buccaneers' first-team defense in Kancey's stead.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Kancey (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Kancey was a late addition to the Buccaneers' injury report ahead of their Week 1 win over the Commanders before being ruled out for the season opener. The Pittsburgh product now opens Week 2 prep still sidelined by the injury with no real timetable for his return. However, he can still be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Lions and will try to return to the practice field Thursday or Friday.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 1 Kancery has been ruled out of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Commanders due to a calf injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Kancey popped up on the Bucs' injury report Friday with a calf issue, and it appears serious enough for the 2023 first-round pick to be held out for Week 1. His next chance to suit up will be against the Lions on Sept. 15. With Logan Hall (foot) also ruled out for the regular-season opener, William Gholston and Ben Stille will start at defensive end with Vita Vea starting at nose tackle.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss Week 1 Kancey (calf) was added to the Buccaneers' injury report Friday and is now questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The 2023 first-round pick was a limited participant in Friday's practice due to a calf injury, and he's now in jeopardy of missing Tampa Bay's regular-season opener. If Kancey is unable to suit up Sunday, expect Ben Stille or William Gholston to serve as the Buccaneers' top left defensive end.

Returns to field Kancey (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Kancey first reportedly missed practice last Monday, for an unknown cause and has been sidelined since. However, the second-year pro donned the pads once again and took part in warmups, suggesting he should be good to go moving forward.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kept out of practice Monday Kancey (undisclosed) did not participate in Monday's practice session, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact It's not clear what is ailing Kancey, but it shouldn't be serious enough to keep the 2023 first-round pick out of practice for an extended period of time. Kancey registered 4.0 sacks across 14 regular-season games last year, and he will play a pivotal role on the Bucs' defensive front alongside starters Vita Vea and Logan Hall.

Primed for big second season Kancey, who recorded four sacks across 14 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023, could be primed for a big step forward in his second campaign, Scott Smith of the team's officia...

Impact Kancey's NFL career got off to a slow start a year ago due to a training camp calf injury that also ended up costing him three regular-season games. The Pittsburgh product went on to play under 50 snaps in all but two of his 14 contests, but he was a consistent rotational contributor that led all rookies with 12 tackles for loss before adding six stops (four solo), including 1.5 sacks, and a pass defensed in two postseason contests. Kancey now stands to benefit from not only the valuable experience he garnered as a rookie, but from the presence of a more svelte Vita Vea next to him on the defensive line.
