Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting center Ryan Jensen was carted off the field after suffering a knee injury during Thursday's practice.
A first-round selection of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2018 NFL Draft, Price enjoyed a bit of a bounce-back season as a member of the New York Giants in 2021. The Bengals traded Price to the Giants in a contract year in exchange for defensive tackle B.J. Hill, and Price responded by playing the best football of his professional career. Tretter’s release was financially driven as opposed to performance-based, as the move saved the Browns north of $8 million in salary cap space. Suffering a serious knee injury in a contract year initially brought Paradis’ market to a halt. The Buccaneers are in “win now” mode and could ill-afford to rely on an unproven player at such an important offensive position. Hainsey handled himself impressively in limited action, but the sample size makes it difficult to get a true read on his potential.

That is now an uncertainty Tampa Bay never wanted to consider. His presence became even more important when guard Ali Marpet surprised everyone by retiring in February at just 28 years old and guard Alex Cappa departed for Cincinnati via free agency the following month. Second-year lineman and Notre Dame product Robert Hainsey replaced Jensen after he was carted off.
This should all bring former Browns center J.C. Tretter into the sights of the cautious Bucs. Nothing needs to happen just yet, but any bad news on Jensen ...
It would be impossible to completely replace Jensen, but Tretter is the best option on the market as it stands. Jensen is one of the best centers in the NFL, and the Bucs may want to look to the market to get a better option to replace some of his reps if they aren’t completely sold on Robert Hainsey as a first-year starter. The Buccaneers fortunately take care of their players and Jensen will be back on the field at some point, but it is more than fair for Tampa to at least see what else is out there on the free agent market in an effort to keep doors open on moves that can keep the team in a position to win a Super Bowl.
Bucs starting center Ryan Jensen still is undergoing tests on a left knee injury he suffered in practice Thursday, but a source told ESPN that it's "not ...
That number dropped to seven over the past two seasons. His 4,518 snaps at the center position are the most of any offensive lineman since 2018. "That usually happens when you have a player like Ryan who is obviously a very good player but also just a great person and a leader, and his toughness -- things like that, about him, that define him," general manager Jason Licht said.

"We took Robert in the third round for a reason, because we saw a lot of potential in him," said Licht. "We saw potential in him as a center first, potentially playing guard, he played right tackle at Notre Dame as well. We also have a lot of faith in Nick Leverett playing center as well. We've got to take a look at the tape and hope for the best." "It's unfortunate right now, because there was nothing fancy going on in there," said Bowles. "We've got to look at the tape and see what happened. We have tests, some tests you have to wait for a couple days before you can give them. Jensen was hurt during the final period of the 105-minute practice, a two-minute move-the-ball exercise.
I feel terrible for Jensen,” GM Jason Licht says, adding it could be several days before the team is able to determine the severity of the injury.
Jensen is one of the first players Brady called after signing with the Bucs in 2020. His arrival allowed the Bucs to move Marpet to guard. The next season, he spent most of the year on the Ravens’ practice squad before becoming a full-time starter in 2017. We’ve got to take a look at the tape and hope for the best.” Former Browns center JC Tretter, 31, was released in March to save $8.2 million from the salary cap. “We’ve got to look at the tape and see what happened but it didn’t look like anything as far as how it happened.
Just two days into training camp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already facing a monumental challenge after Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen was carted off the ...
Shipley comes at Hainsey from different angles, sometimes with a padding buffer, sometimes just as if he’s a defender trying to get to the imaginary quarterback sitting behind him. Hainsey spent part of his offseason training in Arizona with A.Q. Shipley, who spent 12 years as an NFL center. When the Bucs spent a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft on Notre Dame’s Robert Hainsey, he had played his entire college career at right tackle.
Reports are circulating that the injury suffered by the Bucs' star center is likely to keep him out for the foreseeable future.
Robert Hainsey is the player who took Jensen's spot after he went down at practice, and he's the most logical player to replace Jensen as the team's starting center moving forward. Assuming these reports are true, the first concern is obviously that Ryan Jensen will have a clear path to making a full recovery. His hard-nosed demeanor, willingness to lay his body on the line to protect his teammates (most notably Tom Brady), and physical style of play are all factors that have contributed toward Jensen becoming one of the most well-respected interior offensive linemen in the game.
Get the latest on the knee injury suffered Thursday by Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen.
We have tests – some tests you have to wait a couple of days before you can get them. You have to wait for swelling and things like that to go down, so I don’t have an update on that other than that it was a knee injury and we’re hoping for the best, but we’ll have updates on that later.” “All I know right now is he went down with a knee,” Bowles told the media.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing to be without Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen for the entire 2022 season.

He made his first Pro Bowl in 2021, allowing just two sacks throughout the regular season and helping the Bucs reach the playoffs, where they were knocked off by the eventual Super Bowl champion Rams. Jensen is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the NFL Network reports that the fear is that he has suffered a season-ending injury. As for a replacement, 2021 third round pick Robert Hainsey would be the in-house option.

Now the Bucs are poised to break in three new interior blockers. On Thursday, Jensen was carted off the practice field after getting tangled up during a practice rep. But he won't be available anytime soon."

Now, he’ll face a new challenge on his road to recovery and the Buccaneers have their first test of 2022. Tretter spent the last five seasons as the starting center for the Cleveland Browns, starting every game he played in during that span. Jensen had just inked a new three-year deal with the Buccaneers at the start of free agency this year. All that being said, the Buccaneers could opt to go on the hunt for a veteran center to bring in – if for no other reason than competition. Though Shipley left coaching, he was training Hainsey individually this offseason out of his home in Arizona. The pair worked for over two collective months on interior-specific techniques that were going to allow Hainsey to compete at guard. He did get some exposure in the preseason with both Brady and backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert. He even got in a few times when the Buccaneers held substantial leads periodically throughout the regular season.
Brady almost won the afc conference championship game with a rookie at center that was tipping the snap who never played again after that year. The loss of ...
Whoever replaces Jensen will be expected to prevent a major hole from emerging, which would result in defensive players getting directly in Brady’s face. This means that, when the Buccaneers faces the Cowboys in Week One, the Bucs will have a new interior offensive line. Via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, coach Todd Bowles told reporters that Jensen “ will miss at least a couple of months” after suffering a knee injury on Thursday. Bowles added that the team will take a closer look at the damage, in order to determine whether he’ll play at all in 2022.

Just 27-years-old, Price spent three seasons in Cincy before being traded to the New York Giants ahead of the 2021 season. The 31-year-old was originally selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Cornell. He actually recorded the highest PFF grade of his career last season with a 78.7. The 32-year-old Paradis is another player Rapoport named as a potential Jensen replacement. The NFLPA president is a well-known player who is one of three free agent options Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network named as a potential replacement. A third-round pick from last year out of Notre Dame, Hainsey played in nine games with zero starts. Tampa Bay also has a few in-house candidates who could take over in snapping the ball to Tom Brady this season, but they will have to earn that job.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles gave an update on Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen's knee injury.
Jensen is a key presence on the Buccaneers' offensive line, which is one of the highest paid in the NFL.
While the right side of the line is bolstered with a pair of Pro Bowl linemen, the left side and interior of the line now present some questions. And while the team traded for right guard Shaq Mason to bolster the right side of the line, it now has a new problem in the interior of the line. Jensen signed a three-year, $39 million contract with the Buccaneers after becoming a free agent earlier this offseason. Right guard Alex Cappa left in free agency to sign with the Bengals. Left guard Ali Marpet retired. Jensen will be a $4 million cap hit for the Buccaneers in 2022, and will make $15 million in 2023 and 2024. According to Spotrac, 21.57 percent of the team's cap space is spent on offensive linemen, and their $44.4 million spent on the line is the eighth-most in the NFL.
