Louis Murphy is back! Well, almost. After a longer than expected rehab for the veteran receiver the Buccaneers announced on Monday that Murphy will begin his Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform 21-day practice period. Murphy hasn’t been officially activated to the roster as of yet, but can be at any point during his 21-day practice period. The Saint Petersburg native could be a nice shot in the arm for a slumping Buccaneer passing game.
The Bucs shook up their running back room as well, signing Antone Smith and waiving Russell Hansbrough.
