Todd Bowles shared more details about UDFA Desmond Watson's illness designation as training camp opened for the Bucs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are doing everything they can to avoid missteps — or at least minimize mistakes — with Desmond Watson before the upcoming season even begins. The team made a key decision about his health.

But until Watson reaches an undisclosed weight goal set by the Bucs, it doesn’t appear he will be joining his teammates for practice. The Bucs placed Watson on the non-football illness list, even though he was able to work for about 30 minutes on conditioning Wednesday.
