The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced they have signed RB Patrick Laird and placed RB Kenjon Barner on injured reserve in a corresponding move.
Barner’s season is now done unless he is released with a settlement, in which case he can sign with another team when healthy.
Laird, 26, wound up going undrafted out of California back in 2019. He later signed a rookie contract with the Dolphins and has been on and off of their practice squad ever since.
Miami declined to tender Laird as a restricted free agent this offseason.
In 2021, Laird appeared in six games and rushed for four yards on one carry to go along with three receptions for 17 yards receiving.
