In addition to adding defensive tackle Steve McLendon in a trade with the New York Jets this week, the Bucs have also activated receiver John Hurst from the injured reserve and have signed cornerback Mazzi Wilkins to their practice squad after being waived last month, per Greg Auman of The Athletic.
Hurst landed on the injured reserve with an ankle injury prior to the Bucs’ Week 1 game against the Saints and the addition of Wilkins comes after undrafted free agent Parnell Motley was acquired off of waivers by the San Francisco 49ers last week.
Bucs making official a few moves previously reported: they traded for DT Steve McLendon, activated WR John Hurst from injured reserve and brought back former USF corner Mazzi Wilkins to the practice squad.
