The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made another roster move as the preseason winds down, adding rookie wide receiver Matthew Henry to the roster while placing defensive lineman Deshawn McKnight on injured reserve.
In this video, we break down why the Bucs made this move now, what Henry brings from his time at Western Kentucky, and how the current situation in Tampa Bay’s wide receiver room could give him an unexpected opportunity before final roster cuts.
With Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan and Tez Johnson dealing with injuries, every available preseason snap matters. Could Henry do enough to earn another look, compete for a practice-squad opportunity, or make the decisions at One Buc Place a little more difficult?
We also take a closer look at the Bucs’ WR depth, the numbers game surrounding the final 53-man roster, and what Tampa Bay needs from this position heading into the regular season.
What do you think, Bucs Nation? If Matthew Henry flashes in his opportunity, should Tampa Bay find a way to keep another young receiver around?
