The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made several roster moves ahead of their primetime Week 7 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
On Monday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed cornerback Jamel Dean and wide receiver Kameron Johnson on injured reserve. In a positive move, the team has activated defensive lineman Earnest Brown IV from Injured Reserve and punter Trenton Gill.
Brown IV was placed on Injured Reserve earlier in the season and has not played in the 2024 season. He previously played in 12 games for the Bucs and had 14 tackles in those games. For Gill, he has played in three games for the Bucs this year and has a net punt average of 36.2 yards.
The loss of Dean will mean that Zyon McCollum and rookie Tykee Smith will have larger roles going forward. Both have had their moments in recent weeks, highlighted by Smith, who, in Week 6, played well enough to be nominated for NFC Rookie of the Week.
