Bucs first-round DT Calijah Kancey taken off on cart

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft pick Calijah Kancey appeared to suffer a right lower leg injury during Sunday morning's training camp practice and was carted off the field.

Kancey, a former Pittsburgh defensive tackle who has drawn comparisons to fellow Pitt alum Aaron Donald, was turning the corner on a drill when he pulled up his right leg. He hopped forward, putting no weight on the leg. He then let out an, "Ah, f---!" as he grabbed his lower leg toward his calf.

The coaching staff, front office and teammates were thrilled with the work Kancey had done this offseason during rookie minicamp and mandatory minicamp, and it was already showing up in training camp.
