The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing wide receiver Sterling Shepard from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
Via NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo,
“The #Buccaneers are signing WR Sterling Shepard to the active roster from their practice squad, source says. A few days after catching three passes for 51 yards against the #Eagles, Shepard is up to the 53-man roster.”
The signing of Shepard from the practice squad makes sense given the Bucs current injury situation. With wide receivers Mike Evans, Trey Palmer and Jalen McMillan listed on Monday’s injury report, Shepard adds extra insurance with the short week.
