Overview

• Watson, an undrafted rookie from Florida, was placed on waivers Monday, per multiple reports.
• He was officially listed around 449–450 pounds with Tampa Bay, with prior reports noting measurements as high as 464.
• He spent training camp on the active/non-football illness list and did not take a practice or preseason snap.
• GM Jason Licht had outlined conditioning benchmarks for Watson, which he had not met, leading to no preseason action.
• He is subject to waiver claims, and while ESPN notes the Bucs could technically add him to the practice squad if unclaimed, reporter Greg Auman said that is not planned at the moment.
