The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are releasing undrafted rookie free agent defensive tackle Desmond Watson per multiple sources.
Via Fox Sports Greg Auman,Â
“Bucs have released rookie defensive tackle Desmond Watson from their practice squad. He was with the team in preseason as well. These moves are sometimes driven by injuries at other positions requiring new depth.”
Desmond Watson’s initial release by the Buccaneers back in August wasn’t due to a lack of talent, but rather concerns about his weight and conditioning. Although he took part in the team’s offseason program, he struggled enough to be placed on the non-football injury list at the start of training camp. After several weeks on the NFI list, he was cleared and released from it in late August, only to be cut loose by the team.
Watson was re-signed to the team’s practice squad in September. No corresponding move has been announced.
