Buccaneers Signing LB Kenny Young To Practice Squad

According to Greg Auman, the Buccaneers are signing LB Kenny Young to a practice squad contract. 

Young was scheduled to be in Tampa Bay for a visit today but that looks like just a formality. 

Tampa Bay’s practice squad now includes: 

1. QB Ryan Griffin
2. WR Deven Thompkins
3. WR Kaylon Geiger
4. TE J.J. Howland
5. CB Don Gardner
6. DL Mike Greene
7. DL Will Previlon
8. G John Molchon
9. RB Patrick Laird
10. ILB J.J. Russell
11. OL Dylan Cook 
12. DL Deadrin Senat
13. OLB Genard Avery
14. S Nolan Turner 
15. CB Anthony Chesley
16. LB Kenny Young

Young, 27, was drafted by the Ravens in the fourth round out of UCLA in 2018. He was in the second year of a four-year, $3.1 million deal when he was traded to the Rams as a part of the swap for CB Marcus Peters.

He then found himself traded again when the Rams shipped him to the Broncos along with a seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round pick and a late-round 2024 swap.

The Raiders signed Young to a contract this past May but ended up releasing him during final roster cuts. 

In 2021, Young appeared in seven games for the Rams and six for the Broncos. He recorded 75 total tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks, one forced fumble, one recovery, and one pass defense.
