  • Elijah Ponder: Waived off IR

    Rotowire

    The Buccaneers have waived Ponder (undisclosed) off injured reserve with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Ponder was facing the possibility of spending the entire 2022 season on IR before reaching this injury settlement. Now, the 24-year-old linebacker can search for a new landing spot once he is fully recovered from his undisclosed injury.

  • Buccaneers' Elijah Ponder: Moved to IR

    Rotowire

    Ponder (undisclosed) reverted to the Buccaneers' injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Ponder went unclaimed after he was waived with an injury designation by Tampa Bay on Tuesday, causing him to land on IR. As a result, the 24-year-old linebacker likely will have to wait until the 2023 campaign to make his NFL debut, barring an injury settlement this season.
