Deion Jones Joins Tampa Bay Buccaneers Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed former Pro Bowl linebacker Deion Jones to their practice squad, seeking to bolster their defense amid injuries to key players. Jones, 30, previously played for the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, and Carolina Panthers, and has a history of strong performances, including Pro Bowl honors in 2017. He was released by the Buffalo Bills after failing to secure a spot on their final roster, having signed a one-year contract with them earlier in the offseason. Over his career, Jones has recorded 731 tackles, 12 sacks, and 13 interceptions across 109 games. As the Buccaneers lead the NFC South, his experience could prove pivotal as they aim for a playoff berth. This signing comes as the team continues to navigate injury challenges within their linebacker core.
