Buccaneers place Major Wright and Vincent Jackson on injured reserve
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Wednesday that they placed WR Vincent Jackson and S Major Wright on season-ending injured reserve. In a corresponding move the team signed Kimario McFadden from their practice squad.
McFadden is the fourth player promoted from the practice squad since the start of last week, joining RB Mike James, WR Evan Spencer and TE Tevin Westbrook. Jackson was limited by injuries to just 10 games this season, finishing with 33 catches for 543 yards and three touchdowns.
The Bucs also signed three players to fill out their practice squad, adding former Louisville safety Gerod Holliman, former Appalachian State cornerback Joel Ross and cornerback C.J. Roberts, who played at Colorado State-Pueblo.
