Jason Pierre-Paul Returns To Bucs Practice

By Sam Robinson | at October 15, 2019 5:11 pm

The Buccaneers are not practicing as a team during their bye week, but one key player will participate in some important workouts. The Bucs began Jason Pierre-Paul‘s 21-day window for potential activation, with Bruce Arians indicating (via the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud, on Twitter) the standout defensive end would practice Tuesday and Wednesday.

JPP has been sidelined for months because of a neck injury. He’s currently on Tampa Bay’s NFI list. The car accident the 10th-year veteran suffered left him with a fractured vertebra and left his NFL future uncertain. Arians said last week a return to practice would be the plan, and it’s a promising sign JPP has hit another checkpoint on his journey back to the field.

Tampa Bay has received borderline-stunning production from UFA addition Shaquil Barrett this season, with the ex-Denver rotational pass rusher’s nine sacks tied for the league lead. JPP registered 12.5 in his first Bucs season and would be a welcome presence opposite Barrett.

The Bucs have three weeks from Tuesday to move Pierre-Paul to their active roster. Should that not happen by then, the 30-year-old defensive end will revert to season-ending IR.

Buccaneers Notes: Picks, Injuries

By Ben Levine | at October 12, 2019 10:14 am

The Buccaneers let go of linebacker Deone Bucannon earlier this week, and that could be good news for their compensatory pick outlook. ESPN’s Adam Schefter points out (on Twitter) that Tampa Bay has now lost more free agents than they’ve signed (five players vs. four players), meaning they’ll now be in line to earn a 2020 third-round compensatory pick thanks to linebacker Kwon Alexander signing with the 49ers.
The Buccaneers are set to take on the Panthers in London tomorrow, but many of the team’s offensive linemen won’t be traveling with the squad. ESPN’s Jenna Laine points out that offensive guard Zack Bailey won’t be traveling to London. The rookie suffered a foot and ankle injury earlier this week. Offensive lineman Alex Cappa, offensive tackle Demar Dotson, linebacker Jack Cichy, and wideout Breshad Perriman have also been ruled out.

Buccaneers Release LB Deone Bucannon

By Zachary Links | at October 9, 2019 8:30 am

The Buccaneers linebacker Deone Bucannon on Wednesday morning, as ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter tweets. Bucannon was preparing to face the Panthers in London this week, but he’ll now have to shift his focus to finding new employment.

Bucannon, a former first round pick of the Cardinals, might not be out of work for long. He offers some dual-position potential as a safety and, despite the ups and downs of his career, is still only 27.

The Bucs were hoping that Bucannon would pay off on an inexpensive one-year, $2.5MM deal. He did not do much to replace Kwon Alexander in his short run, however, and saw just eight snaps through five games.

Last year, Bucannon finished as one of Pro Football Focus’ worst-graded linebackers in a limited sample of 389 snaps. He’s still looking to reprise the 2015 season in which he broke out with 109 tackles, three sacks, and an interception.
