INDIANAPOLIS -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reinstating former Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden into the team's Ring of Honor, it was announced Thursday.

Gruden, a former ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst, was removed from the Ring of Honor in 2021 when leaked emails in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal revealed racist, misogynistic and anti-gay comments. At the time, the Bucs said Gruden's actions went "against our core values as an organization."

The team will be placing Gruden's name back on the walls of Raymond James Stadium, but there will be no new ceremony.
