Injuries
Alterraun Verner and Rashaan Melvin are still sitting out practice, per Rick Brown, and Mike Jenkins has joined them. There were some tweets suggesting that Mark Barron was sidelined, but Leo saw him in practice. They probably confused Barron and Jenkins, who wears Barron's old #24. Lesson for your kids: if you want them healthy, don't let them be Bucs cornerbacks, I guess.
David Gettis was treated for an apparent hamstring injury, according to Rick Brown. Severity unknown. The veteran receiver hasn't gotten on the field since his rookie season because of a variety of lower-body injuries.
Position battles
Here's the guys getting a shot at punt returns today: Eric Page, Solomon Patton and Robert Herron. Patton looks like he has solid hands.

Skye Dawson also joined that group of point returners, Scott Smith later noted.
Moving to kickoffs, some of them were handled by Connor Barth - reaffirming the notion that Michael Koenen's roster spot may not be entirely secure. Rick Brown says that Eric Page, Chris Owusu and Charles Sims got some looks as kickoff returners.
Patrick Omameh and Jace Daniels were the second-team guards in walkthroughs, per Leo. Just walkthroughs, but it's an indication that the Bucs are still rotating their guards. Later on, Leo noted that Oniel Cousins and Jamon Meredith were seen at guard with the first team.
Chris Owusu and Tommy Streeter have been dominating training camp as receivers, and Roy Cummings seesthem as the number three and four receivers right now, respectively.
Biggest difference between Bucs QBs: decisiveness. McCown much quicker through his progression.
