The Second Chance for Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson, an undrafted agent, was placed on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list for the whole Buccaneers training camp due to weight concerns. Photos of the 6-foot-5, 400-plus-pound lineman watching the game from the sidelines went viral, gathering online support. Without playing a preseason game, he was waived before the season began. However, Tampa Bay brought him back to the practice squad after he showed improvement and continued training. The return of Watson is a second chance for him to show what he can do and keeps working toward a spot on the NFL’s active roster.
