Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Calijah Kancey will undergo season-ending surgery on his torn pectoral muscle, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Per the reports, an MRI conducted on Tuesday confirmed the diagnosis for Kancey. He is scheduled for surgery on Friday.
Kancey sustained the injury during the second quarter of the Buccaneers' 20-19 victory over the host Houston Texans on Monday.
He recorded one tackle in two games this season for Tampa Bay (2-0), which will look to seventh-year veteran Greg Gaines and rookie Elijah Roberts, a fifth-round pick, to fill the void.
Kancey, 24, has totaled 55 tackles and 11.5 sacks in 28 career games (all starts) since being selected by the Buccaneers with the 19th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Pittsburgh.
