Keenan Isaac - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/23/23

Thanksgiving Day transactions from around the league:

Houston Texans

Signed to active roster: DE Kerry Hyder
Placed on NFI: DE Dylan Horton

Miami Dolphins

Elevated: RB Darrynton Evans

New York Jets

Elevated: OL Jake Hanson, DT Tanzel Smart

San Francisco 49ers

Activated from IR: CB Samuel Womack
Elevated: OL Jesse Davis, OL Corey Luciano
Waived: CB Shemar Jean-Charles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed to active roster: CB Keenan Isaac

Horton, a fourth-round rookie out of TCU, released a statement from the team that he is “dealing with a personal health matter that will keep (him) away from the team for an indefinite period of time.” His spot on the roster will be taken by Hyder, a practice squad end who is one of several former 49ers defenders to join head coach DeMeco Ryans in Houston.

The 49ers have upgraded one of their cornerback roster spots, subbing Womack in off the injured reserve for Jean-Charles. Womack was a much more active participant in his rookie season last year than Jean-Charles has been for the 49ers so far this season. While Womack was ready to return, the same could not be said for rookie fifth-round defensive end Robert Beal Jr. Beal was downgraded to out for tonight’s game and will remain on IR with his 21-day practice window still open for four more days.

Meanwhile, Miami and New York are making their standard gameday elevations for the league’s first ever Black Friday football game tomorrow.

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: CB Shyheim Carter, TE Kevin Rader

Washington Commanders

Elevated: RB Derrick Gore

Walker’s elevation comes amidst a degree of uncertainty regarding Deshaun Watson‘s Sunday availability. The latter is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he has expressed confidence he will be able to suit up. In the event he is unable to play, though, Walker will provide insurance under center. NFL Network’s James Palmer reports Watson will be a game-time decision.

Chosen, formerly Robbie Anderson, made his Dolphins debut in Week 3, scoring a 68-yard touchdown on his only catch. His performance – along with other depth wideouts currently being sidelined for Miami – will give the 30-year-old a longer look with his new team.

Gore’s elevation will give him the chance to see regular season game action for the first time since 2021. The former UDFA recorded 361 scrimmage yards with the Chiefs that season, but a subsequent IR stint marked the end of his time in Kansas City. Gore has since spent time on the Saints’, and now Commanders’, taxi squads. Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post notes that fellow depth back Chris Rodriguez has bee ruled out with an illness, opening the door to Gore seeing limited snaps.

Buccaneers Set 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 11:05pm CST by Ben Levine

Following the retirement of Tom Brady, the Buccaneers will be facing a pseudo-rebuild in 2023. Before they get to a challenging regular season, the team was forced to cut down their roster to 53 players today:

Released:

CB Anthony Chesley
LB Ulysees Gilbert
RB Patrick Laird
WR David Moore
DL Patrick O’Connor
DL Deadrin Senat

Waived:

WR Taye Barber
LB Brandon Bouyer-Randle
DL C.J. Brewer
RB Ronnie Brown
LS Evan Deckers
T Silas Dzansi
WR Kaylon Geiger
G Luke Haggard
CB Keenan Isaac
WR Cephus Johnson
S Richard LeCounte
WR Ryan Miller
G John Molchon
G Michael Niese
T Raiqwon O’Neal
DL Willington Previlon
OLB Jose Ramirez
OLB Hamilcar Rashed
LB J.J. Russell
OLB Charles Snowden
TE Tanner Taula
S Nolan Turner
WR Kade Warner
CB Rodarius Williams

Waived/injured:

TE Dominique Dafney
CB Don Gardner
S Kedrick Whitehead

Waived/failure to disclose physical condition:

C Chris Murray

After sitting out the 2021 campaign, Deadrin Senat got into 12 games for Tampa Bay in 2022. The defensive tackle ultimately finished the campaign with 17 tackles, one sack, and a pair of QB hits. The former third-round pick got into 22 games for the Falcons to begin his career.

Buccaneers Announce 19-Man UDFA Class

May 14th, 2023 at 8:58pm CST by Ely Allen

After selecting eight rookies in the 2023 draft, the Buccaneers added 19 undrafted rookie free agents. Here is the list:

LB Jeremy Banks (Tennessee)
WR Taye Barber (TCU)
OLB Brandon Bouyer-Randle (Connecticut)
RB Ronnie Brown (Shepherd)
LS Evan Deckers (Duke)
T Silas Dzansi (Virginia Tech)
T Luke Haggard (Indiana)
CB Keenan Isaac (Alabama State)
S Christian Izien (Rutgers)
WR Rakim Jarrett (Maryland)
OLB Nelson Mbanasor (Texas State)
S Kaevon Merriweather (Iowa)
WR Ryan Miller (Furman)
C Chris Murray (Oklahoma)
T Raiqwon O’Neal (UCLA)
CB Derrek Pitts (NC State)
TE Tanner Taula (Illinois State)
RB Sean Tucker (Syracuse)
WR Kade Warner (Kansas State)

Brown was an absolute animal for the Division-II Rams this season, piling up 1,864 rushing yards and 19 rushing touchdowns as well as 589 receiving yards for five touchdowns on 56 receptions. He and Tucker, who scored 23 rushing touchdowns in the last two years for the Orange, are the only rookie additions to a Tampa Bay running backs room that’s looking for someone to take over.

With only six receivers on the roster following the draft, the Buccaneers added several here. Miller caught 12 touchdowns last year for the Paladins as an FCS All-American. Warner is the son of Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner.

On the offensive line, Haggard and O’Neal join as true left tackles with each starting over 20 games at their respective institutions. Dzansi provides some unique versatility having played all the guard and tackle spots on both the left and right sides of the ball for the Hokies. Murray provides some versatility, as well, having experience at both guard and center.

Banks provides some young depth at inside linebacker after having led the Volunteer defense in tackles last season. Bouyer-Randle and Mbanasor, both former Texas Tech transfers, provide some well-rounded depth at the outside linebacker spots. At safety, Merriweather was a second-team All-American after a stellar senior year with the Hawkeyes.

The Buccaneers also added some potential competition for long snapper Zach Triner, the team’s starter at the position for the past four years. Deckers served as the Blue Devils long snapper as a grad transfer after four years at UMass. He’ll battle with Triner for a starting job this summer.
