U.S. Military to Delay Commission of Buccaneers Rookie Cameron Kinley

Cameron Kinley's initial request to delay his commission was denied in but the decision has been reversed — allowing him to attend training camp.

Former Navy cornerback Cameron Kinley will have his commission delayed and be allowed to attend training camp with the Buccaneers, according to a release. 

The U.S. secretary of defense and retired general Lloyd Austin reversed the previous decision that denied Kinley in June. Kinley went undrafted in April but signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent. He'll get his chance to fight for a spot on the defending champion's roster at training camp now.

"I am extremely appreciative of secretary Austin's decision and I am excited to represent our fine military in the National Football League." Kinley wrote in a release. "This past month has been very challenging and I am thankful for everyone who has supported me in any way."
