Sterling Shepard

Sterling Shepard caught one pass for four yards and a touchdown in Thursday night's 36-30 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Shepard was elevated from the practice squad shortly before the start of the game on Thursday, and he was able to contribute a short touchdown in the team's loss to Atlanta. He has been pretty solid when given opportunities so far this year, and it's possible that we will continue to see more from him if Trey Palmer (concussion) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) miss more time.

The Buccaneers signed WR Sterling Shepard to the active roster from their practice squad.

Shepard caught three passes for 51 yards last week. He'll continue to hold a depth role among the wide receiver room for Tampa Bay.
