Prosise was released by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prosise suited up for a career-high 10 games last season with the Texans, but he mostly handled a special-teams role. The 2016 third-round pick will likely test the market, though a practice squad role seems most likely.

Prosise signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Friday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prosise spent three weeks on Tampa Bay's practice squad back in January. Prior to that, he suited up for 10 regular-season games with the Texans, a span during which he recorded 10 carries for 19 yards, plus five catches for 18 yards and a score. With both Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy possibly moving on in free agency, Prosise could get a chance to compete for a reserve role this offseason.

Prosise's contract with Tampa Bay was terminated Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Prosise's stint in Tampa Bay has come to an end after not appearing in a single matchup. The running back was able to log a decent amount of game time in the 2020-regular season with the Texans though. Through his 10 games, the 2016 third-round pick carried the ball 10 times for 19 yards and caught five receptions for 18 yards, including a touchdown pass.

Prosise has signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The running backs currently on the team's active roster are Ronald Jones, Leonard Fournette, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and LeSean McCoy. Prosise provides the Bucs with another backfield option in advance of their playoff run, which begins Saturday night against Washington. The 2016 third-rounder logged 10 carries for 19 yards and caught five passes for 18 yards and a TD in 10 games with the Texans this past season.

The Buccaneers are bringing in Prosise (ankle) for a tryout, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prosise sat out Houston's Week 16 home game against the Bengals because of an ankle issue, and he was subsequently cut the following day. Tampa Bay may find benefit from the 26-year-old's services given a slew of injury issues at running back, so long as Prosise himself is fully healthy at the moment. Leonard Fournette (abdomen) was limited in practice Thursday, while Kenjon Barner (groin) and T.J. Logan (knee) remain on IR.

Prosise (ankle) was waived by Houston on Monday, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old missed Week 16 with the ankle injury and is now parting ways with the Texans. Prosise appeared in 10 games this season and had 10 carries for 19 yards, five receptions for 18 yards and returned eight kickoffs for 149 yards.

Prosise (ankle) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old appeared to be in the clear for backup carries in Week 16 after he submitted full practice sessions Thursday and Friday. Duke Johnson (neck) was ruled out ahead of him on the depth chart, but now Prosise, too, has been deemed inactive for Week 16. Buddy Howell and Scottie Phillips will garner any backup RB work behind David Johnson as result of Prosise's late scratch.

Prosise, who sat out Week 15 with an ankle injury, was a full participant for the final two practices this week and is healthy entering Sunday's contest against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Houston's running back depth chart gets a shakeup for the second straight game with second stringer Duke Johnson (neck) ruled out. David Johnson will start with Prosise, Buddy Howell and Scottie Phillips ready for increased work if necessary.

Prosise (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
By way of his improved status, the 26-year-old back is seemingly in the clear for Sunday's upcoming matchup against the Bengals. Prosise couldn't suit up last Sunday against the Colts, costing him a second appearance in three weeks. Against Cincinnati, he's expected to slot into a depth position at RB while continuing his role as a top kick returner alongside Scottie Phillips.

Prosise (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
It's an encouraging sign that Prosise is on the field to start the week, as he only practiced once last week before sitting out against the Colts. If Prosise can't shake the injury for Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals, Buddy Howell could serve as the No. 2 running back again, pending Duke Johnson's (neck) status.
