Pratt signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pratt was a seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he didn't make the team out of the preseason and spent the majority of the campaign bouncing between the Bucs' practice squad and active roster as the team's emergency QB3. Pratt never got into a regular-season game but will get another shot to try and impress the coaching staff this offseason.

Pratt reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Pratt operated as the team's emergency quarterback in Sunday's 48-14 win over the Panthers, ultimately remaining on the sidelines for the entirety of the contest. The team has used up all three of Pratt's elevations, making it unlikely that he's back with the active roster for the Tampa Bay's regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Saints.

Pratt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The quarterback was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday but will only be able to enter Sunday's game if Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask are unavailable. The seventh-round pick of the Packers has yet to enter a regular-season game in his rookie campaign.

Pratt reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Though Pratt was elevated for Week 13, he was inactive against Carolina. The rookie quarterback hasn't yet gotten to NFL game with both Baker Mayfield (leg) and Kyle Trask ahead of him on the depth chart. It would likely take an absence by one of those two quarterbacks for Pratt to be active on a game day this season.

EDGE Analysis
Pratt operated as the team's emergency third quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in the team's 31-26 loss to the Falcons, failing to enter the game. Pratt can be elevated two more times before he'd need to be officially signed to the active roster.

The Buccaneers elevated Pratt from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pratt, a rookie seventh-round pick, was initially drafted by Green Bay but ended up on Tampa Bay's practice squad after late August roster cuts. It looks like he'll get a chance to work as an emergency No. 3 option behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask versus Atlanta on Sunday.

The Buccaneers signed Pratt to the practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Pratt was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday to make room for the acquisition of 2022 third-round quarterback Malik Willis from Tennessee. After clearing waivers, Pratt opted to sign with the Buccaneers, and he'll serve as the practice squad quarterback after John Wolford was waived on Tuesday. If he's elevated to the active roster, Pratt will operate as the Bucs' emergency quarterback and only see the field if both Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask were to sustain injuries in the same game.

The Packers waived Pratt on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The seventh-round rookie out of Tulane completed 23 of 35 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception during the preseason. The Packers could try to further develop Pratt on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
