Buccaneers Release Defensive Tackle Desmond Watson from Practice Squad Again

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released defensive tackle Desmond Watson from their practice squad, marking the second time this year the team has parted ways with him. Watson, an undrafted free agent, was initially cut at the end of the preseason but rejoined the practice squad in September. He weighed 464 pounds at Florida's pro day earlier this year and was placed on the non-football injury list during the summer while working to lose weight. Watson stated he had lost weight upon his return to the team, though he did not disclose the exact amount. He was not elevated to the active roster at any point since his September return, but a future return to the Buccaneers' practice squad or active roster remains a possibility.
