There had been some question about the Buccaneers‘ running back depth chart. At one point it was just two with Doug Martin and Charles Sims, and even when Peyton Barber was added to the group, people had noted the lack of depth. An injury would have left them fairly barren at the position.
Well, there is an injury, but at defensive line, as Jacquies Smith is headed to injured reserve, and that left a roster spot available. According to Marc Sessler of NFL.com and Zach Shapiro of the Pewter Report, the Bucs are signing running back Jacquizz Rodgers to a one-year deal, adding him to the stable of running backs at the disposal of Dirk Koetter.
