Ravens rookie CB T.J. Tampa to miss start of training camp after hernia surgery
The Baltimore Ravens have their entire team at training camp, but they kicked off Day 1 without two key rookie contributors: Adisa Isaac and cornerback T.J. Tampa. Tampa could miss time to start his first training camp after having off-season hernia surgery. Ravens rookie CB T. J. Tampa had hernia surgery after minicamp. So Tampa, who is on PUP list, will be sidelined for few more weeks — Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) July 21, 2024 Tampa started every game for the Cyclones the past two seasons and was named to the first-team All-Big 12 squad as a senior after recording 44 tackles, nine passes defended, and a pair of interceptions. Baltimore doubled up at cornerback because the value was too good, selecting Tampa out of Iowa State in the fourth round.

Tampa and Wiggins were roommates at the Combine and got to know each other.
