Just days before the start of training camp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have found some added depth for their defensive line, and they won't even need a new nameplate for the locker room.
On Monday, the team re-signed defensive lineman Da'Quan Bowers, who had been an unrestricted free agent since March. Bowers spent his first four NFL seasons in Tampa after being drafted by the Buccaneers in the second round in 2011. Bowers, the 51st overall pick in '11, arrived as a defensive end but has since played both end and tackle.
At 6-4 and 288 pounds, Bowers certainly has the size to hold his own on the interior line, although Tampa Bay is currently deeper in proven performers at tackle than end.
