TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have claimed rookie
running back LeGarrette Blount off waivers and signed punter Chris
Bryan.
Blount was released by the Tennessee Titans after signing with
them as an undrafted free agent and rushing for 118 yards and two
touchdowns during the preseason. His draft prospects plunged after
the University of Oregon suspended him for eight games of his
senior season for punching a Boise State player last September.
Bryan is a native of Australia who spent the preseason with the
Green Bay Packers.
To make room on the roster Monday, the Bucs waived rookie punter
Brent Bowden and receiver Reggie Brown. Receiver Dezmon Briscoe,
tackle Will Barker and tackle Derek Hardman were signed to the
practice squad.
