Division opponents thread: Bucs, Falcons Saints news

[Captain Morgan]

or the second week in a row, the Falcons will be without their star running back during a Tuesday open practice. Bijan Robinson is working through an ankle injury and will likely miss the organized team activities period in the lead up to mandatory minicamp beginning Monday, June 10.

The expectation for Robinson, Morris said, is to be back for some on-field, "movement" work by mandatory minicamp.

Each QB in our division is without a doubt beatable.

We need to get competitive now before our rivals continue to retool and one of them eventually hits the jackpot on a franchise QB.

Canales don't let us down.

With the Antoine Winfield Jr. extension taken care of, one crucial financial priority remains for the Buccaneers this offseason. Left tackle Tristan Wirfs is in line for a new deal of his own, and that has driven his decision to remain away from the team at this point.

The latter is absent from OTAs, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. A number of players seeking new deals have followed suit to begin the week, and Wirfs certainly has a case to command a lucrative new deal. The three-time Pro Bowler has been present for other offseason workouts, head coach Todd Bowles confirmed (via Greg Auman of Fox Sports). It would come as no surprise, though, if Wirfs were to remain absent until a deal is struck.
