Overview
- Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter reported that Pierre-Paul signed to Tampa Bay’s practice squad following a Monday workout.
- Pierre-Paul has not appeared in an NFL game since Dec. 11, 2023, and the team is tempering expectations for immediate impact.
- He previously logged 33 sacks across four seasons with the Buccaneers and contributed to their Super Bowl LV run.
- The move comes as the 7-6 Buccaneers seek defensive help during a recent slide, with Haason Reddick managing an ankle issue that is not believed to be long term.
- The three-time Pro Bowler owns 94.5 career sacks and 631 tackles and could be elevated from the practice squad if needed.
