The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made strategic roster adjustments ahead of their Wild Card game against the Washington Commanders, elevating linebacker Deion Jones and wide receiver Tanner Knue from the practice squad. This marks the third consecutive week Jones has been elevated, providing the team with a seasoned player who has logged 91 career starts. Although he hasn't seen action on defense, he has contributed on special teams.

Tanner Knue, who signed as an undrafted free agent, offers depth to the wide receiver position but may not see the field due to the team’s current health at that spot. His elevation ensures he receives an additional playoff bonus, reflecting the Buccaneers' appreciation for his practice contributions.
