Desmond Watson: Everything you need to know

Watson tried out with the Buccaneers on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Watson was let go by the Buccaneers in August with a non-football illness designation after his weight prevented him from practicing throughout training camp. It's unclear if the issue has been resolved, but he got at least one additional look from the team.

Watson was waived by the Buccaneers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Watson spent the entirety of Tampa Bay's training camp on the active/non-football injury list while dealing with an illness. The defensive tackle entered camp at nearly 450 pounds, and it was made clear that he needed to shed some weight before he could practice with the team. Watson will look to continue his weight loss journey in an attempt to secure another opportunity elsewhere, though he could stick around with the Buccaneers' practice squad.

The Buccaneers placed Watson (illness) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Watson will be out indefinitely as he is currently dealing with an illness. The rookie undrafted free agent can be activated at any point prior to the start of the regular season and could be a candidate to land on the team's practice squad once healthy.
