The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Saturday that they’ve activated WR Rakim Jarrett from injured Reserve and elevated QB Michael Pratt to their active roster for their Week 8 matchup against the Falcons.
The Buccaneers could really use some receiver help after losing Mike Evans and Chris Godwin last week.
Pratt, 22, was a multi-year starter at Tulane and was named AAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2023, first-team All-AAC in 2023, and second-team All-AAC in 2022.
The Packers drafted him in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $4.106 million rookie contract that includes an $86,940 signing bonus. Green Bay waived Pratt and he later signed on to the Buccaneers’ practice squad.
In four seasons with the Tulane Green Wave, Pratt started 44 of 46 games and posted a record of 27-17. He completed 730 of 1,204 passes (60.6 percent) for 9,611 yards to go along with 90 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. He also rushed 447 times for 1,147 yards (2.6 YPC) and 28 touchdowns.
