Keyes is expected to be promoted to the active roster in advance of the Week 1 tilt versus the Falcons now that Devante Bond (hamstring) has been ruled out, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The undrafted second-year pro filled in for Bond at strongside linebacker in the final two preseason games and now appears likely to fill his spot come Sunday. Keyes was part of the Bucs' practice squad last season as well, before a promotion to the active roster for the final seven games of the season. He tallied a pair of special-teams stops along with five tackles on defense, following a career at Boston College where he amassed 124 tackles (79 solo), including 16.5 for loss, and 7.5 sacks over four seasons.
