The Buccaneers announced Friday they’ve placed LB Kendell Beckwith on the non-football injury list.
We have placed LB Kendell Beckwith on the reserve/non-football injury list.

This move makes it likely he misses the entire 2019 season as well. There is concern Beckwith’s injury could be career-ending as well, per Rick Stroud.
Beckwith suffered an ankle injury in a car accident in April and missed the entire 2018 season.
Beckwith spent most of the 2018 season on the NFI before reverting to injured reserve in November.
Beckwith, 24, is a former third-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2017. He was in the second year of his four-year, $3.175 million contract and stands to make base salaries of $578,000 and $668,000 over the next two years of the agreement.
In 2017, Beckwith appeared in all 16 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 73 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and two pass defenses.
