Lethbridge Herald SportsTAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Four-hundred-plus pound defensive tackle Desmond Watson was released from Tampa Bay’s practice squad Wednesday.
Watson, who weighed 464 pounds at the University of Florida’s pro day and was considered the heaviest player in NFL history, hasn’t been on the active roster. He was originally signed by the Buccaneers after going undrafted in April. Watson was released at the end of training camp and signed to the practice squad in September.
The 6-foot-6 Watson lost 25 to 30 pounds before the draft but didn’t get a chance to practice with the Buccaneers during training camp because he didn’t lose enough weight. He spent training camp on the non-football injury list.
The Buccaneers signed outside linebacker Benton Whitley to the team’s practice squad and placed running back
