The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host free agent offensive lineman Kenyon Green for a workout on Thursday. Green was a first-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2022 but missed the 2023 season with a torn labrum and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2025, where he spent time on the practice squad before joining the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad last season.

Why it matters

The Buccaneers are looking to bolster their offensive line depth, and Green represents an intriguing reclamation project as a former high draft pick who has struggled with injuries early in his career. If he can impress in the workout, Green could earn a roster spot and a chance to revive his NFL career in Tampa Bay.

The details
