Bucs place 450-pound rookie on non-football injury list due to weight issues

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed undrafted defensive tackle Desmond Watson on the non-football injury list due to his weight.

Watson, 22, was 6-foot-6, 464 pounds when the Bucs signed him after the 2025 NFL Draft. He is down to about 450 pounds but hasn’t lost enough weight to be cleared for training camp.

"It's just about trying to get him better, to be a healthier player and getting him on the field a little more," head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Wednesday.
