It wasn't the best of days for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It's Day 14 of training camp for the Buccaneers, but Day 1 of joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are playing host to the Bucs in Duval County, and Day 1 was decidedly a win for the Jags as the Bucs struggled on both offense and defense.

The red zone offense did a little better than the overall unit in 11v11 and 7v7 work. WR Mike Evans worked his will on the Jaguars' secondary, hauling in some touchdown passes, and Bucky Irving also punched his way through the defensive line for a score. WR Kameron Johnson is back practicing as well, and he caught a touchdown pass in 11v11 red zone work from QB Kyle Trask. One offensive positive at the end of the day, and as for the defense...
