The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they have signed safety Kaevon Merriweather off of the Detroit Lions practice squad and onto their 53-man roster. Merriweather, a Detroit-area native and Belleville High School alumnus, joined the Lions practice squad just a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, the second-year defensive back never was elevated to suit up for his hometown team on game day. His signing with the Buccaneers will be a reunion, as they are the team he initially joined as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2023. He made their active roster out of training camp and ended up starting two games for Tampa Bay that season. Merriweather appeared in 25 games total for them before being cut just two days prior to when he signed with Detroit. Over that span, he recorded 24 total tackles and one pass breakup. With Merriweather gone, Detroit is left with one open spot on their practice squad. Here is how that group stands at the moment: DB Jamal Adams EDGE Mitchell Agude WR Maurice Alexander LB Abraham Beauplan OL Kingsley Eguakun QB Jake Fromm RB Jermar Jefferson OL Jamarco Jones WR Tom Kennedy TE James Mitchell DB Morice Norris WR Donovan Peoples-Jones DL Chris Smith EDGE Isaiah Thomas EDGE Isaac Ukwu In other news around the NFL, former Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday.
