Bucs activated CB Anthony Gaitor (hamstring) off injured reserve/designated for return.

According to coach Greg Schiano, Gaitor "will have a role on Sunday" against the Eagles. Gaitor had yet to play before being sent to injured reserve in October, and made only eight appearances as a seventh-round rookie in 2011. Circumstances have changed with both Aqib Talib and Eric Wright out of the fold, however. Gaitor will be fourth or fifth on the depth chart.

Bucs assigned CB Anthony Gaitor (hamstring) the "designated for return" tag on injured reserve.

Gaitor has been sidelined since early in the preseason. The second-year pro can't resume practicing for six weeks. Gaitor appeared in just eight games last season, making five tackles. It's possible the move to injured reserve saved his roster spot.
