The Bay Buccaneers Tampa again signed the Defensive Tackle Desmond Watson and added it to the practice team while the team prepares to face the Filadelphia Eagles in week 4.
Watson, the 464 -pound defensive linen out of Florida, could not make the list of 53 men in the preseason. He was forced to the lateral line, since he did not meet the conditioning requirements to carry the field. He was considered the heaviest player in the history of the NFL.

The Buccaneers chief coach, Todd Bowles, said on Monday that Watson had a “good training when the team brought it last week.
Buccaneers will seek to find a way to stop the thrust of the Eagles, which has been under the center of attention in recent weeks, since it seemed that some players had been jumping before the ball broke Jalen Hurts.
Bowles said Watson was not only brought as the response to the thrust of Tush.
“We will never bring it just to stop a push from Tush. If we have to bring a boy to stop a play and the push of Tush never appears, you are wasting time,” Bowles said. “If we bring it, we believe it can play, not only for a philadelphia thing.

The Super Bowl champion, Nick Foles, says that it is ‘pro tum push’ as the criticism of the work increases
“It is very unlikely to be ready to play, once we bring it, for Philadelphia at this time anyway. It is just a matter of space and we go if we have a place for him, and then what we see for him in the future.”
The 6 -inch defensive Tackle was working with a nutritionist during the summer. The team did not say what an ideal weight for him would be.
Watson spoke about his weight gain to journalists earlier this year. He said he would constantly stop to get food while I was in Florida.
“Stop while driving,” Watson said when asked about the bad habits he tried to throw in his professional day. “The most important thing is to move on, get where I need to get. There are stores and many temptations. That has helped me immensely.

“Do not enter the service station. Pay in the pump. Because inside the snacks and all kinds of things like this. Do not stop. If you are on the road, stay on the road until you get where you have to go.”
