TAMPA, Fla. - With uncertainty looming over their wide receiver position heading into Sunday's home opener against the Green Bay Packers (1-1), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) have elevated wide receiver Cole Beasley from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.
Beasley, an 11-year veteran who spent the last three seasons with the Buffalo Bills, signed with the club Wednesday to help offset the loss of a trio of Pro Bowlers wideouts - Mike Evans, who is serving a one-game suspension for his role in last week's melee at the New Orleans Saints, and Chris Godwin and Julio Jones, who are dealing with hamstring and knee injuries respectively.
