It takes time for the players on the football team to adjust after a tragedy,

Tampa Bay lost a tough center to an injury that happened during camp.

That player ranked highly in the NFL last season, and he will be missed in Tampa's Pro-Bowl title shot.

The team's new starter, Hainsey, will have to fill his void in the 2022 season.

Hainsey had limited experience as a rookie, appearing in nine games and playing on offense when he was needed.
