Jermaine Taylor Update

Bridgewater's Jermaine Taylor has been in Orlando, Florida, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers' training camp since July 28. They have had a morning practice (8:30 - 10:45 am) and afternoon practice (2:45 - 4:45 pm) everyday since. The camp will end August 17 following their morning practice.

You can follow the Bucs training camp on their 2006 Training Camp Central website. Daily news articles, blogs and pictures are posted.

Taylor, who finished his Bridgewater career with a school-record 447 tackles, was allocated to NFL Europe this past spring, finishing tied for fourth in the league with 67 tackles.

Because he played in the most recent NFL Europe season, he will be exempt from the roster cut down limit in NFL training camp. He will not count against the roster limit until the final one, where it cuts to 53. Taylor made it until the final cut with both the Green Bay Packers (2004) and Bucs (2005).

Before being a part of the final cut last year, Taylor recorded five solo tackles in their four preseason games. The Bucs first preseason game this year will be August 11 versus the New York Jets. The preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 26 will be aired on CBS. Below is Tampa Bay's 2006 preseason schedule;

Aug. 11 - vs New York Jets, 7:30 pm
Aug. 19 - vs Miami, 7:30 pm
Aug. 26 - at Jacksonville, 8:00 pm
Aug. 31 - at Houston, 8:00 pm
