Bryce

Hall

Kancey was inactive for Week 1, sidelined by his third recorded calf injury since 2023. S Antoine Winfield Jr. (undisclosed) and DB Josh Hayes (ankle) were also sidelined on Wednesday after CB Bryce Hall was sent to injured reserve on Tuesday. EDGE Logan Hall (foot) and CB Zyon McCollum (concussion) both practiced in a limited capacity, however.

It’s a tough blow for Hall, who was placed in an air cast and carted off the field. The broadcast team described it as a pretty gruesome injury and smartly opted not to replay it for the masses. Hall signed a one-year contract with the Buccaneers this offseason after spending the first four years of his career with the jets. Hall has dealt with injuries throughout his career and has played in just 14 games over the last two seasons. He’ll be placed on injured reserve in the coming days and is likely to miss most if not all of the season.

Hall suffered a gruesome injury on a tackle where his ankle bent in a way it shouldn’t have, and it was clear right away that he was in major pain. His ankle was put in an air cast and he was carted off the field, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he was out for a while. The Bucs cornerback depth is a major concern right now with Tyrek Funderburk inactive and both Zyon McCollum and Josh Hayes out with injuries. If Jayden Daniels can’t beat this secondary through the air in the second half, there may be some concerns about his passing ability.

Drafted by the Jets in 2020, Hall had two interceptions over 39 games for New York over four seasons, mainly playing special teams. Hall, 26, will likely do the same in Tampa.

Hall (6'1/202) started 39 of 44 games over his four-year stretch with the Cavaliers, questionably returning for his senior season after leading the FBS with 24 passes defended as a true junior. He ultimately missed the second half of 2019 with a serious left ankle injury which required surgery and critical medicals for front office personnel. A rangy player with lengthy arms (32 1/4") and large hands (9 5/8"), he finds himself around the ball more often than not. He’ll likely struggle against skilled route runners at the next level given his lack of fluidity, but Hall still projects as an NFL starter best suited for zone coverage if he can rebound post-injury.

Hall (6'1/202) sustained a season-ending ankle injury in mid-October and subsequently underwent surgery. He said earlier this spring that he was hopeful to be at full strength by training camps. All clear for team activities, now, it would appear. The ball-hawking cornerback is a potential Day 2 prospect for next week’s draft if everything breaks right for him (metaphorically).

Hall (6'1/202) entered his senior season as one of the top draft-eligible cornerbacks in college football, but a gruesome left leg/ankle injury suffered during a game against Miami ended his season prematurely. While he is steadily making progress in his recovery, not being able to interview with NFL teams in person due to the coronavirus pandemic is a negative for Hall as the NFL Draft approaches. He was able to attend the NFL Scouting Combine but did not work out for obvious reasons, and as of late March the former Cavalier was able to do some running and jumping. According to Hall, doctors and his trainer have told him that he “should be at 100 percent by training camp.” Hall is projected to be a Day 2 selection, but the medical evaluations will be key.

Hall (6'1/202) was considered by many to be one of the top cornerbacks in college football entering the 2019 season, but his senior campaign came to a premature end due to a fractured left ankle suffered during a loss to Miami. The injury will require that some medical concerns be addressed during the pre-draft process, but Hall has the size and length that teams are looking for in a corner. “He can handle man coverage, but he needs protection over the top,” Zierlein wrote. “Hall is a future starting cornerback but might garner attention at free safety at some point in his career.” Hall projects to be a Day 2 selection in April’s draft.
