The Buccaneers released running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn Friday and signed defensive tackle Deadrin Senat to the 53-man roster.
It was a necessary move after the team previously exercised all three of Senat’s gameday elevations. With injuries plaguing Vita Vea and now Will Gholston, having a capable defensive lineman became far more important than keeping a fourth running back. Senat, 29, has spent most of the last two seasons with the Bucs — he’s played in 14 total games, recording 18 total tackles, 2 for loss, as well as a sack.
Vaughn has been inactive for the past five weeks, last playing against Houston.
