Simeon Rice and Aaron Sears were inactive at Mini-Camp Today
Published: June 19th, 2007By Buc 'Em
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their Full Team MANDATORY Mini-Camp this morning. The doctors were unable to clear DE Simeon Rice to practice, so we'll have to wait until Training Camp Begins on July 27th in order to see if he'll be ready for the upcoming season. Gruden seems confident that Rice will be able to play come Training Camp:
"He's going through his rehab and he's not fully able to participate at this point," coach Jon Gruden said of Rice. "Other than that, he's a guy who will be ready for training camp and a guy we missed last season, obviously."
Although he was unable to practice, Simeon Rice did show up for the Mini-Camp and conversed with his teammates.
Left Tackle Aaron Sears, a 2nd Round Draft Pick this offseason for the Bucs, was also unable to practice today for unspecified reasons. Head Coach Jon Gruden said Aaron had minor issues to deal with and that Sears would be available to practice come Training Camp.
