The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed defensive end Lawrence Sidbury, the team officially announced. Sidbury spent part of last year and all of the offseason with the Bucs, and has been off and on the roster this year.
The veteran defensive end has five sacks in 49 games (no starts) in his career, none of those sacks coming after 2011 -- though he's only played one game since 2013. With George Johnson suffering a calf injury on Sunday and Jacquies Smith having missed the last few games, the Bucs need some extra depth at defensive end.
