Tampa Bay Buccaneers Promote OT Reid Fragel to Active Roster

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need help protecting No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston, and former Ohio State TE/OT Reid Fragel is the next man up.

Fragel came to Tampa earlier this year off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. He made the initial 53-man roster before being waived and signed to the practice squad.

Entering Week 4, Fragel apparently has again proved his worth. The Buccs named the offensive tackle to their 53-man roster on Wednesday; the former Big Ten champion replaced waived running back Mike James.

The Buccaneers host the Carolina Panthers, an organization that features several Buckeye starters, on Sunday.
