Back with Tampa Bay
The Bucs signed Knue to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Knue was elevated from the practice squad ahead of last Sunday's wild-card playoff game against Washington, but he was deemed inactive for the contest. Knue spent all of last offseason with Tampa Bay after signing with the Bucs as an undrafted rookie out of Eastern Michigan. He'll get another chance to earn a roster spot this coming offseason.
Returns to practice squad
Knue reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log. Despite being elevated to the Bucs' 53-man roster Saturday, Knue was inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Commanders. The 25-year-old wide receiver signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent in late April and is a candidate to be signed by the Buccaneers to a reserve/future contract.
