Fifth-year option excercised The Buccaneers exercised the fifth-year option on Kancey's contract Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Kancey was sidelined for most of the 2025 season due to a pectoral injury he suffered in Week 2, but the defensive tackle's output has been more than satisfactory for the Buccaneers to justify retaining him through 2027. The 2023 first-round pick has accumulated 54 tackles (41 solo), including 11.5 sacks, through 29 career regular-season games thus far. With the team selecting linebacker Rueban Bain in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, the Bucs will be acquiring an influx of talent on the defensive line that should only increase Kauncey's potential for production in 2026.

JANUARY 4 • Associated Press
Returns for Week 18 Kancey is active for Saturday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Kancey is set to play in his first game since the Buccaneers' Week 2 win over the Texans, where the defensive end suffered a pectoral injury. The 24-year-old is set to suit up for rotational snaps with the defensive line behind starters Elijah Roberts and Logan Hall. Kancey logged 7.5 sacks over 12 regular-season games last year, and his return should provide additional depth to the Buccaneers' pass rush.
JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Activated from IR The Buccaneers are activating Kancey (pectoral) from injured reserve to play in Sunday's game against Carolina.
Impact Kancey returned to practice last week and logged his first full session this Thursday. He's been on injured reserve since Week 2, but the Bucs don't have the luxury of easing him into action. Kancey figures to play as many snaps as he can handle with Tampa Bay's season on the line.

Sidelined for Week 17 Kancey (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The third-year pro from Pittsburgh practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday but will remain on the injured reserve list through Week 17. Kancey has played just 69 defensive snaps across two games this season due to a pectoral injury, recording one total tackle. While he remains sidelined Sunday, expect Elijah Roberts and Logan Hall to operate as the Buccaneers' top defensive ends.

Limited in practice Wednesday Kancey (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Kancey has been on injured reserve since the Buccaneers' Week 2 win over the Texans. The defensive lineman was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was immediately able to log a limited practice. Immediate practice participation bodes well for the 24-year-old, but he will likely need to practice fully by Friday to avoid an injury designation and play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for return from IR The Buccaneers designated Kancey (pectoral) to return to practice Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Impact Kancey tore a pectoral muscle Week 2 against Houston and was consequently placed on IR. He was originally expected to be out through the regular season, which may still be the case, though his return to practice Wednesday means he's technically eligible to be activated at any time and could play as soon as this Sunday versus Miami. Kancey recorded 7.5 sacks across 12 regular-season games last year and should provide a boost to the Bucs' pass rush when/if he returns.
