The Buccaneers' "voluntary'' offseason workouts are not supposed to involve any hitting, but there was definitely some hitting going on during Wednesday's practice session at One Buc Place.
An argument between cornerback Aqib Talib and left tackle Donald Penn escalated to the point Talib swung his helmet at Penn and missed, only to hit cornerback Torrie Cox with his follow through.
Cox was treated for a cut to his head, which Penn and Talib both termed as "no big deal.''
"It's all good,'' Talib said. "[Torrie's] good; it's all right.''
Talib, the team's first-round draft pick in 2008, has been involved in an incident with a teammate before. At the NFL Rookie Symposium, he fought with running back Cory Boyd, a seventh-round pick no longer with the team.
Penn, the subject of Talib's ire on Wednesday, did not characterize their exchange as a fight.
"It was just an argument that happened at practice,'' Penn said. "It really wasn't nothing at all. It wasn't like we were really fighting or anything. It's just something that happened.''
