You can expect the Buccaneers to place him on injured reserve in the coming days and add someone to their roster.

Stewart, 25, wound up signing a three-year, $1.66 million contract with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Baylor back in 2017. He was later cut loose by the Broncos coming out of the preseason.

Stewart had brief stints with the Bills, Redskins and Giants before playing in the AAF earlier in the year. The Buccaneers later signed him to a one-year deal in April.

During his college career at Baylor, Stewart recorded 260 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks, 12 interceptions with two of them being returned for touchdowns, a forced fumble, three recoveries and 14 pass defenses over the course of 46 games.
