Buccaneers' Markees Watts: Unlikely to be activated off IR
Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Watts (knee) is likely to remain on injured reserve for the rest of the 2024 season, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Watts' 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Nov. 27, but it appears there isn't room on the 53-man roster for the 25-year-old linebacker. As such, Watts will be forced to remain on the Buccaneers' IR for the rest of the 2024 season, including the playoffs should Tampa Bay qualify. Should that be the case, Watts will end his 2024 campaign with zero tackles across five regular-season games.

Buccaneers' Markees Watts: Not returning to action Week 15
Watts (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's battle against the Chargers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Watts has been on IR since early October, though he was designated to return Nov. 27. His 21-day practice window closes this coming Tuesday, so Tampa Bay will need to either activate him by then or lose him for the remainder of the campaign. Watts was able to log a trio of full practices this week, so he at least appears to be making progress toward a return.

The Charlotte product failed to record a stat across the Buccaneers' first five games this season before being placed on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury. Watts returned to practice without any limitations Wednesday, suggesting that he could play as soon as the Bucs' Week 13 matchup against the Panthers. However, he must still be activated to the active roster before suiting up Sunday.
