Bucs Place Defender On IR, Sign 1 Each To Active Roster & Practice Squad
Ahead of their Super Wild Card matchup, the Bucs made a number of moves to their roster. Tampa Bay announced that they have placed cornerback Anthony Chesley on injured reserve while signing inside linebacker Ulysees Gilbert to the 53-man roster and adding rookie corner Duron Lowe to the practice squad.
Chesley suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out. He played seven games for the Bucs in a special teams role and was officially signed to the active roster in December.
Gilbert is another practice squad member that was added there in October. He got some run special teams for Tampa Bay this season, getting called up for three games. With the struggles that K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell had in the Week 18 finale, it doesn’t hurt to have extra depth there.
Bucs Add A Rookie To Their Practice Squad
The rookie Lowe played college football at Butler Community College, UTEP and Liberty. He spent time with the Rams during training camp but wasn’t able to stay on with a team during the season. It’s good timing for him with the organization heading into the postseason.
Tampa Bay hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night in the Super Wild Card round at 8:15 EST. Though the Bucs are the home team, that aren’t favored in the game.
