It's not a full house out there for today's morning session at Camp Disney: one notable face we haven't spotted yet is first-round draft pick Gaines Adams.  There are a few others missing as well... but some veterans got a break yesterday --- like Ronde Barber and Michael Pittman-- are back out on the field today. 

As for Chris Simms, he's out there, and he's getting some snaps.  We'll see how long that lasts. 

Check out some of the pics I've posted from the early part of this morning's session... the afternoon practice today has been cancelled.  More later...

The morning session just wrapped, and we found out more about the Gaines Adams situation. Coach Jon Gruden says he is day-to-day with a tricep injury, but it's not serious. He also said he should be back at work in the next couple of days. At the end of practice he was out on the field walking around with one of the staff trainers, but he wasn't in pads.

One surprise face on the field today? Shelton Quarles. No, he wasn't working out with the team... he was watching. The Bucs have hired Quarles as a scout-- something he said they have been talking about doing for about a year now. He says he's excited, and it's the closest he will come to announcing his retirement-- which he still didn't officially do. You can read more about that a little later today on MyFoxTampaBay.com.

No practice this afternoon... the team is off to the movies. Coach Gruden wouldn't tell us what they're seeing, but he hinted that it wouldn't be 'Hairspray'.

Jon Gruden took his Bucs to see the film 'Rescue Dawn' this afternoon. It stars Christian Bale and Steve Zahn, and it's the true story of German-born Dieter Dengler, a man who dreamed of being a pilot. He eventually made his way to the U.S., and flew in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He was captured when he was shot down over Laos, and the movie tells of his escape.
