Bucs To Sign John Wolford To Active Roster

Bucs To Sign John Wolford To Active Roster

one year ago

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will sign quarterback John Wolford from their practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday. The move comes after the Los Angeles Rams tried to pluck Wolford off Tampa's practice squad on Monday because of a right-thumb injury that quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Minnesota Vikings might also be interested after just losing Kirk Cousins for the season due to a torn Achilles. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has experience with Wolford from their time together with the Rams. Wolford's four regular-season start in his career came with the Rams and he spent the last three years with the team. The 28-year-old signal-caller will continue to back up Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in Tampa.
