Bucs re-sign CB Derrek Pitts to practice squad

The special teamer was previously waived to make room for RB Chase Edmonds’ return.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing back one of their special teams contributors.

Bucs cornerback Derrek Pitts was initially waived last week when running back Chase Edmonds was moved from Injured Reserve to the active roster, but he was signed back to the team’s practice squad on Monday. In a corresponding move, Tampa Bay waived linebacker Brandon Bouyer-Randle from the practice squad.

Pitts has mainly been used in a special teams role, but he saw some cornerback action in Week 3 when the Bucs played him against the Philadelphia Eagles due to injury. In that game, Pitts recorded two solo tackles.
