Buccaneers RB Coach Skip Peete Collapses, Hospitalized

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs coach Skip Peete, 62, collapsed during Wednesday’s walk-through at the team’s indoor facility and was attended by team medical staff and paramedics. He was described as alert, responsive, coherent and in stable condition before being transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. Head coach Todd Bowles said doctors were running additional tests, suggested dehydration could be a factor, and later indicated Peete was “doing fine.” Video and reports show players taking a knee while medics treated him on the field. Peete has been with the Buccaneers since 2023 and has a long NFL and college coaching résumé including stops with the Raiders, Cowboys, Rams and Bears; he is the brother of former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete. The team said it will provide updates as they become available.
