Overview

• The Buccaneers brought in former Florida defensive tackle Desmond Watson for a workout on Friday and did not sign him to the roster or practice squad, according to beat reporting.
• Watson signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent in April, spent most of camp on the non-football injury/illness list, and was waived on August 25.
• Tampa Bay has reason to reassess options at defensive tackle following Kancey’s season-ending injury, which has thinned the interior rotation.
• Team decision-makers tied Watson’s availability to conditioning benchmarks, and Todd Bowles said the NFI stint aimed to get him healthier and ready to play.
• Watson measured 6-foot-5 and 464 pounds at Florida and has reportedly cut weight into the 440s, and he would be the heaviest player ever to appear in an NFL game if activated.
