The Tampa Bay
Buccaneers placed kicker Ryan Succop, punter Bradley Pinion and
long snapper Zach Triner on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team
announced Tuesday.
The trio represents the first players to be added to the team's
list since defenseman lineman Benning Potoa'e on Nov. 30.
It is not immediately clear if any of the three players tested
positive for COVID-19 or were close contacts with someone who
had.
Succop, 34, has made 24 of 26 field-goal attempts and 38 of 41
extra-point tries in 13 games this season.
Tampa Bay can turn to Greg Joseph should Succop be unavailable
to play for the Buccaneers (8-5) in their road game against the
Atlanta Falcons (4-9) on Sunday. The Bucs on Tuesday used
practice squad protection on Joseph, thus preventing any other
team from signing him this week.
Pinion, 26, is averaging a career-best 45.6 yards per punt and
41.5 yards net this season.
Triner, 29, has participated in 116 special teams snaps this
season.
