Desir (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bills, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
The Buccaneers' cornerback corps is slowly returning to full strength, which has caused Desir to find himself as the odd man out. Through nine appearances this season, the 30-year-old has recorded 22 tackles, three pass deflections, two interceptions and one forced fumble.

Rotowire
Desir agreed Wednesday with the Seahawks on a one-year contract, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The addition of Desir bolsters the Seahawks' depth at cornerback, with Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times noting that the move presumably makes it less likely that the team will consider signing free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman. In 12 games last season between the Jets and Ravens, Desir recorded 49 tackles and three picks.

Jets' Pierre Desir: Practicing without pads
Rotowire
Desir (hamstring) practiced without pads Sunday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
It's a positive sign Desir is back on the field after he missed nearly a week of practice with this hamstring injury. The 29-year-old cornerback dealt with hamstring and groin injuries last season, so the Jets aren't going to rush him back, as he's expected to start at cornerback in Week 1.

Jets' Pierre Desir: Finds new home
Rotowire
Desir agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Jets on Sunday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
The 29-year-old was a cap-saving casualty by the Colts on Saturday, and he didn't have to wait long to find a new team. Desir took a step back in 2019, producing 50 tackles (38 solo), three interceptions and 11 pass breakups. The veteran will battle the likes of Brian Poole, Nate Hairston and Blessuan Austin for a starting role at the cornerback position in 2020.

Colts' Pierre Desir: Ready for TNF
Rotowire
Desir (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and is expected to play Thursday against the Texans.
After a four-game hiatus, Desir was supposed to be a game-time call, but his full-speed work clears any doubts. The 29-year-old has been solid in coverage this year by allowing an 87.3 passer rating and just one touchdown, and he's expected to face a heavy dose of DeAndre Hopkins in this divisional contest.

Desir can't seem to shake this issue, as he carried a doubtful tag Sunday for a second consecutive week. The 29-year-old's absence will bump Rock Ya-Sin into a starting role opposite Kenny Moore, as the duo looks to slow down Nick Foles in his first game since Week 1.

Colts' Pierre Desir: Sidelined Wednesday
Rotowire
Desir (abdomen) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice.
It's unclear how Desir suffered the injury, but the fact that he didn't practice following the bye week is cause for concern. At this point in the week, the 29-year-old's status for Sunday is in some jeopardy, but his practice availability throughout the week should shed more light. If he can't go, look for Rock Ya-Sin and Quincy Wilson to get a bump in snaps for Week 7.
