With Rodgers hurt, Bucs sign Mike James; CB Banks waived

TAMPA — The Bucs are now on their seventh running back of 2016.

With fill-in starter Jacquizz Rodgers injuring his foot late in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, the Bucs on Monday agreed to terms with Mike James, who had made the team's initial cuts but was waived-injured in Week 1.

Also, CB Johnthan Banks, a former starter and second-round pick in 2013, was waived.

Rodgers wore a boot in the locker room Monday, so he's unlikely to play in Thursday night's home game against the Falcons. He scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter Sunday but was injured on his next carry.
