Bucs activate 2 WRs from practice squad for Sunday’s game vs. Falcons

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are adding some wide receiver depth for Sunday’s game as they continue to deal with injuries at the position

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have activated wide receivers Kaylon Geiger and Deven Thompkins from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

With three receivers listed as questionable for Sunday due to injury (Julio Jones, Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman), Geiger and Thompkins give the Bucs some added depth in case any of those pass-catchers can’t go.

Both rookie free agents who went undrafted this year, Geiger and Thompkins made their share of impressive plays throughout training camp and the preseason, and could have easily made the active roster for another NFL team that didn’t have Tampa Bay’s receiver depth.

Bucs bring back WR Kaylon Geiger on practice squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed rookie wide receiver Kaylon Geiger to their practice squad

As expected, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed rookie wide receiver Kaylon Geiger to their practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.

Geiger was waived earlier this week to make room for fellow pass-catcher Mike Evans, who returned from a one-game suspension.

An undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech, Geiger was active for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, as the Bucs were missing their top three wide receivers.

3 Defensive Players to watch as Oklahoma takes on Texas Tech

The Sooners will take on Texas Tech in the last game before a much-needed bye week. Which 3 defenders will make an impact in Saturday’s game?

Some things are better solved with simplistic answers instead of trying to overcomplicate things. In the case of the current state of the Oklahoma Sooners defense, they simply need to get it done.

After a horrible showing for over half of the game in Lawrence, Kansas the Sooners found a way to make enough plays to get out of there with a win.

Now, they return home and face a Texas Tech offense that is far from a slouch and has some players that can make this game a headache for Oklahoma.

Texas Tech ranks second in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma in passing offense, and senior quarterback Henry Columbi has a big (literally) receiving weapon in 6-foot, 3-inch Eric Ezukanma, who will tower over the smaller OU defensive backs that Oklahoma is bound to send out there.

Senior Kaylon Geiger is their other main wide receiving threat and he has over 400 yards receiving to this point as well.

Their running game has guys like SaRodorick Thompson and Tahj Brooks, who both have over 300 yards and at least four touchdowns on the season.

Who are the three defensive players that can help out Oklahoma this week taking on this multi-faceted and talented Texas Tech offense? Take a look below.
