TAMPA, Fla. -- For Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Bernard Reedy a lot rides on Thursday night's fourth preseason game. He could have a strong performance and make the 53-man roster or go back to making $11 an hour as a a wheelchair transporter, which is what he does in the offseason.
There's also the possibility that the 25-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Toledo can join the practice squad, which is what he did for a portion of last season.
None of those things crosses his mind when he lines up with the offense and the ball is snapped, or when he's hovering around the 20- or 30-yard line ready to return a punt.
