The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have activated veteran linebacker Kevin Minter from the NFL's Reserve/COVID-19 list. The team announced the move on Monday. The ninth-year linebacker was initially placed on the NFL's Reserve/COVID-19 list on September 20 along with wide receiver Travis Jonsen.
In addition to secondary depth moves made on the practice squad, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed linebacker Kevin Minter and practice squad wide receiver Travis Jonsen on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced on Monday.
In 2020, Minter stepped up while former first-round pick Devin White was relegated to the COVID list. Between his steady support as a reserve and his quality work on special teams, the Buccaneers wouldn’t let Minter get away.
It was another brutal week for injuries, with two starting quarterbacks suffering major injuries and durable Joe Thomas suffering a potentially major arm injury.
