Bucs likely to place RB Chase Edmonds and WR Rakim Jarrett on injured list | National

Tampa Bay running back Chase Edmonds and wide receiver Rakim Jarrett will likely begin the season on the injured list, Buccaneers coach Todd Boles said Saturday. Both have been out with unspecified injuries — Edmonds since the start of training camp and Jarrett has missed the last two preseason games. “Chase Edmonds will probably start there, as will Jarrett,” Bowles said. “Those two for sure. Everyone else is in play.” All NFL teams must reduce their current rosters from 91 to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday. In the past, players on the injured list were out for the entire season before the 53-player roster. New this year is that teams can designate up to two players who are on the injured list when the roster is reduced to 53 as eligible to return this season. Those two players, or any players on the post-reduction injured list, will have to miss at least four games, and that’s where Edmonds and Jarrett could fit into the team’s plans. Edmonds, 28, had 49 carries for 176 yards, as well as 14 receptions for 81 yards, in 13 games in 2023, his first season with Tampa Bay. Edmonds, selected in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, has 450 career carries for 1,972 yards and 11 touchdowns, as well as 158 catches for 1,159 yards and six TDs in six seasons with the Cardinals (2018-21), Miami Dolphins (2022), Denver Broncos (2022) and Bucs. Jarrett, 23, was an undrafted free agent in 2023 who played in 10 games for Tampa Bay and caught four passes for 60 yards. –Field Level Media
