Bucs LG Carl Nicks (toe) still could not run or cut as of June minicamp.
Both Nicks and coach Lovie Smith have promised Nicks will be ready for training camp, but beat writers covering the team are more skeptical. "It all sounds shaky," writes ESPN Bucs reporter Pat Yasinskas, "and you have to wonder if Nicks really can make it back and if hell be the same player." If Nicks isn't ready, the Bucs will hold two open competitions at each of their guard spots.
