NFC South Notes: Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers

Buccaneers

• Buccaneers HC Dirk Koetter said LB Kendell Beckwith (ankle, PUP) has looked better each week and it’s possible he could play this week but it’s still too soon to know for certain. (Rick Stroud)
• Regarding newly signed K Cairo Santos, Koetter said: “He’s our kicker. That’s what I know. That’s all I know.’’  (Rick Stroud)
• Buccaneers signed RB Ralph Webb to their practice squad.

Falcons

The Falcons activated LB Deion Jones from injured reserve earlier in the week, but HC Dan Quinn says they plan to be cautious with him.

“We are going to make sure that we take great care of him,” Quinn said, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “When he’s able to fully be Deion Jones all the way through, we’ll let him get back to it.”
