The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been steadily preparing for the final quarter of the 2020 season, even through the bye week. On top of bringing Kenjon Barner off the practice squad, the Bucs added a veteran offensive lineman to take his spot.
Interior offensive lineman Ted Larsen played his first four seasons with Tampa Bay from 2010-2013. After leaving the Bucs, he joined Bruce Arians’ Arizona Cardinals squad for the 2014 and 2015 campaigns, playing and starting in 26 games for a 24 win team during his stay.
Larsen then bookended two seasons with the Chicago Bears in 2016 and 2019 with two as a part of the Miami Dolphins (2017-2018) between them.
