It was another hot day for the Buccaneers during Sunday’s practice. The team immediately went to work for some 11-on-11 drills, but bad things seemed to happen right off the bat.

Defensive line coach Brentson Buckner was in midseason form. He tore into defensive lineman William Gholston after being driven to the ground.
“Come on! Why are you doing the same damn s**t you did yesterday?!” Buckner to Gholston after Gholston was taken to the ground. #Bucs

Since it was the first open practice, fans were able to get a taste for the team’s indoor practice facility.

After some punt drills inside, the team went to work in some 7-on-7 drills. Quarterback Jameis Winston was on target, even hitting DeSean Jackson deep for what would have been a touchdown.
Jameis nails DJax DEEP for what would’ve been a touchdown in a real game. Wow. #Bucs

What a throw it was...
This might be the best deep ball connection we’ve seen between Jameis Winston & DeSean Jackson in two years (practice or game).

What. A. Throw.

After only working with the first team during 7-on-7s for the majority of camp, Winston was back in with the first team for 11-on-11s.
