Buccaneers' Cole Beasley Elevated to Active Roster for Packers Game
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have elevated wide receiver Cole Beasley from the practice squad, which makes him eligible to play in his team's home game Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
Beasley, who is in his 11th NFL season, played the first decade of his career with the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills. The Bucs signed Beasley to their practice squad this week, but it appears the steady slot wideout will be thrown into the fire quickly.
That's because the depleted Buccaneers wide receiver room needs a lot of help. Buccaneers.com senior writer/editor Scott Smith explained the situation.
"Despite just joining the team on Wednesday, Beasley could be in the mix on Sunday thanks to the Buccaneers' depleted receiving corps. Mike Evans is serving a one-game suspension, Chris Godwin has been ruled out of the game due to a hamstring injury and Russell Gage (hamstring), Julio Jones (knee) and Breshad Perriman (knee) are all considered questionable to play."
The 33-year-old Beasley has caught 82 passes in each of his last two seasons.
