Nearly a month after the U.S. military denied his request to delay his Navy commission to pursue his NFL career, cornerback Cameron Kinley was informed that his future in football is now. 

“Today I was informed the Secretary of Defense [Lloyd Austin] will be allowing me to continue my journey with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and attend training camp at the end of this month,” Kinley said in a statement. “I am extremely appreciative of Secretary Austin’s decision and I am excited to represent our fine military in the National Football League. This past month has been very challenging and I am thankful for everyone who has supported me in any way.”
