The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been hit with a number of injuries over the course of the season, and one to their special teams unit has seen them shoring up depth at a crucial spot for the third side of the ball.
FOX Sports’ Greg Auman reported Tuesday that the team is bringing back long-snapper Evan Deckers as starting long-snapper Zach Triner is dealing with an elbow injury. Deckers returns to the team after participating in their training camp during the first part of the offseason.
Deckers will be available to elevate in the event that Triner is unable to go against Green Bay on Sunday. Triner has been Tampa Bay’s longsnapper for five years now, coming to the team in 2019 after offseason stints with the New Jets and the Green Bay Packers. Deckers spent time with UMass before transferring out to Duke for the remainder of his college career.
