Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Records sack in season debut
Kancey (calf) tallied two tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Kancey finally completed his recovery from a pre-Week 1 calf issue to make his long-awaited season debut, and the second-year edge rusher found a way to make an immediate impact. During his 44 snaps, Kancey brought down Spencer Rattler, and he could be set for a bump in participation during a challenging Week 7 home Monday night matchup against the dangerous Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Kancey (calf) was working on the side with trainers during practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Kancey has yet to play this season after injuring his calf during Week 1 prep.
