TAMPA, Fla. -- Keith Tandy is one of the team's special-teams stalwarts, but he also has been a valuable utility player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Whenever there is an injury at corner or safety, Tandy has been called on to perform.
Tandy got his first start of the season Sunday against Chicago, filling in for injured safety Chris Conte. Tandy, a sixth-round pick out of West Virginia in 2012, came away with a career-high 10 tackles in just his sixth career start. A free agent at the end of the season, Tandy may have earned more playing time in the season finale against Carolina, regardless of Conte's availability.
