Buccaneers Running Backs Coach Skip Peete Collapses During Practice, Rushed to Hospital

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs coach Skip Peete collapsed during a walk-through practice session and was promptly taken to a hospital for further medical evaluation. The team reported that Peete was responsive, coherent, and in stable condition before being transported, with dehydration likely being the cause of his medical episode. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles reassured that Peete is "doing fine," and players showed respect by taking a knee during the incident. Peete, in his third season with the Buccaneers, has been influential in developing the team's strong rushing attack despite injuries. The Buccaneers, currently holding a 3-1 record, are preparing for a key Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks amid injury concerns including running back Bucky Irving. The incident has raised concerns but the team remains hopeful for Peete's recovery and continued contribution.
