Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Could return for postseason
Kancey (pectoral) is expected to miss the rest of the regular season but could return for the playoffs if the Buccaneers advance to at least the divisional round, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
Kancey underwent surgery this past week to repair a torn pectoral muscle that he suffered during the Buccaneers' Week 2 win over the Texans. The timeline to recover from the procedure will keep the 2023 first-rounder sidelined for the rest of the regular season, but there is optimism that Kancey could be back at some point in the playoffs if Tampa Bay advances far enough. Kancey's absence means the Bucs will lean more heavily on Elijah Simmons and Greg Gaines to serve in a rotational role on the defensive line behind Elijah Roberts, Logan Hall and Vita Vea.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Placed on IR
The Bucs placed Kancey (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Kancey is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral after he was injured in Monday night's win over the Texans. It's a big blow to the Tampa Bay defense, as Kancey was being counted on for starter's snaps alongside Vita Vea. With Kancey sidelined, Greg Gaines and Elijah Roberts are next up for snaps at defensive tackle for Tampa Bay.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Set to miss rest of season
Kancey will undergo season-ending surgery Friday after an MRI confirmed that he sustained a torn pectoral muscle in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kancey was forced out during the first half of Monday's game, and follow-up imaging Tuesday confirmed the Buccaneers' worst fears. The loss of the 24-year-old for the remainder of the season represents a major hit to the Tampa Bay pass rush, after Kancey accrued 11.5 sacks in 28 games through his first two-plus seasons since entering the league as a first-round selection in 2023. Elijah Roberts and Greg Gaines could both see expanded roles on the defensive line alongside starters Vita Vea and Logan Hall for the duration of the season.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Set to undergo additional imaging
Kancey (pectoral) will undergo additional imaging in Tampa on Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Kancey suffered a pectoral injury in the first half of Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans, ultimately not returning to the contest. The defensive lineman was spotted in a sling, and he's expected to be subject to diagnostic imaging upon his return to Florida in order to identify the severity of his injury.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Won't return against Houston
Kancey (pectoral) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Texans, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Kancey suffered the injury during a pass rush, and the injury is severe enough for him to miss the rest of Monday night's contest. Elijah Roberts and Greg Gaines will see more snaps the rest of the way in Kancey's absence.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Exits with pectoral injury
Kancey is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Texans due to a pectoral injury.
Kancey went to the locker room early in the second quarter to undergo further tests to determine the severity of his pectoral injury. Greg Gaines and rookie fifth-rounder Elijah Roberts should see more snaps on the Bucs' defensive line for as long as Kancey is sidelined.

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Health a priority in Year 3
Kancey, who's played in just 26 of a possible 34 regular-season games over his first two seasons due to calf issues, is prioritizing his health going into his third NFL campaign, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The 2023 first-round pick has still managed to accumulate 11.5 sacks among his 54 total tackles over those first two seasons, so the upside for elite IDP production certainly seems to be there if Kancey can remain on the field for all 17 games. Kancey has been particularly adept at nullifying the size disadvantage he usually finds himself in with quickness and technique, enough to have accumulated 29 total QB hits and 70 pressures thus far in his young career. Head coach Todd Bowles notes the coaching and training staff is honed in on helping Kancey play a full season as one half of a fearsome interior-line duo with 2018 first-rounder Vita Vea. "We're monitoring that every day," Bowles said. "He's feeling great right now. As time goes forward, we've just got to make sure we continue to monitor the things he does and how he gets warmed up and everything else, and that it doesn't boil over into that."

Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Boost in production in '24
Kancey furnished 28 tackles (22 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games in 2024.
Kancey's 515 snaps on defense during the campaign represented a 40-play reduction from his 2023 rookie campaign, with the first-round pick also playing two fewer games. Nevertheless, Kancey finished with two additional tackles and 3.5 additional sacks compared to the prior season, but he hit as much as the five-tackle mark on only two occasions following a delayed Week 6 season debut due to a calf injury. The Georgia product could be set to take the next step in his development during the 2025 season given the improvement he showed this past season, although he headed into the offseason on a down note by tallying just a single tackle across 50 snaps during the wild-card loss against the Commanders.
