After only one day of minicamp with the Bucs, former Appalachian State receiver Dexter Jackson missed practice, and will be sidelined until the middle of the month.

He’s not 100 percent ready,” said coach Jon Gruden.  “He’ll be 100 percent when we return on May 16.  We had a 60-play walk-thru this morning and he took the majority of those reps.  He’ll be fine and ready to go when we resume practice later this month.”

So what happened?  “I don’t want to talk about it,” Gruden said.  “It’s nothing serious.  He’s kind of embarrassed about it and I’m going to leave it at that.”

And there goes our imagination.  Did he taint a paintball to the ballsack, a la Redskins safety LaRon Landry a year ago?  Or did he injure his cervix, like Vandy tackle Chris Williams?  Or did he land ass first on a sculpture made of fusilli?

The possibilities are limitless, and the truth is likely far less interesting.
