REPORT: Bucs To Sign Former WR

With injuries to wide receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller, it was assumed the Bucs were going to bring on an extra receiver this week for their game against the Houston Texans.

According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the team is planning on signing former training camp wide receiver Spencer Schnell to help with their depth.

#GoBucs plan to sign Spencer Schnell, the undrafted free agent from Illinois State who spent the preseason with Tampa Bay. He worked out last week for the Bucs.
