The Buccaneers signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Matthew Henry on Tuesday, the team announced. In a corresponding move, the Bucs placed rookie defensive lineman Deshawn McKnight on injured reserve after he suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's preseason win over the Chiefs. catcross.biz
Henry, who played college football at Western Illinois and Western Kentucky, started all 13 games for the Hilltoppers in 2025, catching 55 passes for 888 yards and six touchdowns. He was named to the All-Conference USA second team. After going undrafted in April, he participated in rookie minicamps with the Titans and 49ers. The Bucs need help at the position as wideouts Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, and Tez Johnson have all missed practice time this week.
