Bucs head coach Todd Bowles was willing to acknowledge that running back Sean Tucker is injured and missed all or some of practice today. But Bowles had no interest in sharing specifics.
“He’s still rehabbing,” Bowles said of Tucker. “He’ll be a gametime decision right now.”
What’s the injury to your RB3, Coach? Bowles punted. “We’ll disclose it on Wednesday,” he replied.
The first official Bucs injury report since January will be issued on Wednesday, four days before the Week 1 kickoff, per league rules.
Bowles keeping the Tucker issue private is a great example of how paranoid NFL coaches get when it comes to injuries (and just about everything else). It’s not just Bowles.
