South Fayette’s Watson catches on with Tampa Bay
After leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in catches, receiving yards and finished tied for the team-high in touchdown receptions during the preseason, South Fayette graduate and rookie wide receiver Justin Watson made the 53-man roster.
Watson had 12 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns during the preseason.
Canon-McMillan graduate Mike Hull, a linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, is headed to injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the first eight games of the 2018 season.
Hall suffered an MCL injury against the Buccaneers during the Dolphins’ preseason opener. He had to be carted off the sidelines.
It’s possible other cuts can be made this week as NFL teams pour over other the list of released players from other teams.
