Coming off of their mini-bye week, the Bucs have made a change to their practice squad. The team announced Monday that it has signed cornerback Derrek Pitts Jr. while releasing linebacker Brandon Bouyer-Randle to make room.

Pitts, a 6-foot-1, 193-pound corner who played college ball at West Virginia, Marshall and North Carolina State, initially signed with the Bucs in May as an undrafted free agent. He had a solid summer and impressed enough in training camp to make Tampa Bay’s initial 53-man roster. Appearing in two games this season, he has one tackle on defense and one on special teams.

The Bucs had waived Pitts last week when they needed room on the roster to activate running back Chase Edmonds from injured reserve.
