Pratt (back) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pratt entered training camp on the active/PUP list with a back issue, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of action after failing a physical this week. Once healthy, the quarterback will likely operate as a member of the Buccaneers' practice squad in 2025.

Head coach Todd Bowles announced Sunday that Pratt is week to week with back soreness, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pratt spent the majority of the 2024 campaign on Tampa Bay's practice squad but didn't appear in any regular season games despite having been elevated multiple times. Once healthy, the 23-year-old will compete with Connor Bazelak for the team's third quarterback spot behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask.

Tampa Bay placed Pratt (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

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 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.
