The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter training camp with one of the deepest outside linebacker rooms in the NFL. While that’s great news for Todd Bowles’ defense, it also means someone is going to see their role shrink. No veteran may have more at stake this summer than Anthony Nelson. Nelson has quietly been one of the Buccaneers’ most dependable defenders over the past several seasons.
He has never been the flashiest pass rusher, but he’s consistently provided quality snaps, defended the run well, and earned the trust of Bowles through his versatility and reliability.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Lucas Glover shot a 6-under 64 in wet conditions Friday to take a two-stroke lead into the weekend in the ISCO Championship.
Played opposite the Scottish Open, the event is sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the European tour. The winner will get into the PGA Championship but not the Masters next year.
The 46-year-old Glover had a 13-under 127 total at Hurstbourne Country Club, playing through rain in the morning Friday.
“It was a little bit nasty this morning when we started, had some rain through the first few holes,” Glover said.

LAS VEGAS — To say Friday was a case of split attention for the Miami Heat at the NBA Summer League would be an understatement.
On one hand, the Heat’s summer roster was pushing past the Bucks’ summer roster, 119-86 at Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus, with Heat general manager Andy Elisburg and coach Erik Spoelstra looking on.
On the other hand, just prior to tipoff, ESPN, from their perch in a balcony above the court, was interviewing LeBron James agent Rich Paul, who was offering his latest thoughts on his client’s approach to NBA free agency.
