Watford (undisclosed), who has been removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list, was placed on IR by the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, Watford will miss at least the first three games of the 2021 regular season due to an unspecified issue. Once he's cleared to play again, the 2013 fourth-rounder is a candidate to resume his role as a depth guard.

Tampa Bay signed Watford on Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After joining the Bucs as an unrestricted free agent back in March of 2019, Watford will return to Tampa Bay, where he'll likely once again slot in as depth along the offensive line. The 30-year-old has garnered extensive experience as a guard over his six NFL seasons, four of which he spent with the Cardinals.

Watford is expected to start Sunday's Week 6 tilt against the Panthers in London in place of Alex Cappa (arm), Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lineman was signed as an unrestricted free agent this past offseason, and his six seasons of NFL experience will come in handy as he steps into the starting lineup for the first time. Watford spent the first four seasons of his career with the Cardinals, which made him a fourth-round pick in 2013, before suiting up for the Browns during the 2018 campaign.

Watford did not play in Friday's preseason win over the Dolphins due to back spasms, Greg Auman of the Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Watford had missed practice earlier in the week due to the same issue, so it made sense for the Buccaneers to keep him sidelined Friday. The backup right guard will look to return ahead of the team's third preseason contest against the Browns on Aug. 23.

Watford signed a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Watford will likely slot in as depth along the offensive line, but the 2013 fourth-round pick ultimately took on a similar role last season with the Browns, only to play in 13 games.

Watford will sign a contract with the Browns, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Watford will attempt to latch on as a reserve lineman for the Browns after being cut by the Bears just a couple of days ago, but he won't have a ton of time to make his mark before roster cuts.
