He would eventually go into the medical tent on the sideline holding his left arm, and later to return to action.

However, as the Bucs quarterback tried to launch a pass deep down the field in the closing seconds of the first...

Buccaneers sign special teams ace to practice squad

Buccaneers sign special teams ace to practice squad

The Buccaneers made a rare special teams-oriented move Friday, signing former All-Pro J.T. Gray to the practice squad.

The 29-year-old Gray, an 8th-year safety who’s played 98 career games, will take the place of guard Karsen Barnhart, who was released in a corresponding move. Gray spent the first seven years of his career with the New Orleans Saints, with whom he earned one first-team nod (2021) and two second-team nods (2019 and 2024) as an All-Pro special teamer.

After being released after training camp due to injury, the longtime Saints captain bounced around to the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos,...
