Bryce

Hall

Hall missed most of 2024 after fracturing his fibula in Week 1. In two preseason appearances, Hall allowed four receptions for 71 yards and one touchdown on four targets. FOX Sports’ Greg Auman believes Hall could “easily” land on another final roster, but would be welcomed back to the Buccaneers via the practice squad if he doesn’t.

Hall returns to Tampa Bay after his 2024 season ended on a fractured fibula in Week 1. Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Hall spent four seasons with the Jets, starting 17 games in 2021 and returning a fumble for a touchdown in 2023. He will be in the mix for the No. 3 cornerback spot in the Buccaneers secondary as veteran depth.

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).
