NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Elevated to active roster The Buccaneers elevated Grayson to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

Impact With Antonio Brown (ankle) out for a second straight week, Grayson will once again join the active roster to add depth to Tampa Bay's receiving core. The 27-year-old played 13 offensive snaps in Week 7, but he failed to record a target. Grayson will likely see a similar workload against the Saints on Sunday night.

Reverts to practice squad Grayson reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's offical transaction log.

Impact Grayson made his 2021 debut in Week 7 with Antonio Brown (ankle) ruled out for the game against the Bears. The wideout played on 13 offensive snaps, but failed to see a target. Grayson will now head back to the practice squad and hope to be elevated to the active roster if the opportunity presents itself.

Elevated to active roster Grayson was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact With Antonio Brown (ankle) ruled out for Week 7, Grayson will get his first promotion of the 2021 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout has appeared in five contests for the Buccaneers over the past two seasons and caught just one of four targets, so he likely won't have a sizeable role for Tampa Bay's offense Sunday.

OCTOBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to waivers Grayson was waived by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Grayson has suited up for the Buccaneers in five games over the past two seasons, recording a three-yard reception on four targets. The LSU product will likely shift to a familiar role with the Buccaneers' practice squad after he clears waivers.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Stands out in second exhibition Grayson (undisclosed) secured four of eight targets for 57 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night.

Impact Per Greg Auman of The Athletic, Grayson truly was the only one of the fringe wideout candidates to step up in Saturday's game, with a 35-yard reception the highlight of his night. Grayson has seen five games of regular-season action with the Buccaneers over the last two seasons, posting one reception for three yards on four targets and adding 20 yards on kickoff returns. A former sprinter during his college days at LSU, the 27-year-old's likeliest initial slotting for 2021 still could be the practice squad.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out Saturday Grayson (undisclosed) is not expected to play Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Grayson hasn't practiced since Tuesday so it's not a surprise to see him held out for the team's opening preseason game. The 27-year-old is expected to compete for one of the team's final roster spots at WR.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with injury Grayson (undisclosed) is not practicing Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The nature of Grayson's injury remains undisclosed, and he only has a few days before Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bengals. The depth wideout spent most of the 2020 season on Tampa Bay's practice squad.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Signs reserve/future contract Grayson signed a reserve/future contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Grayson will remain with the Super Bowl champs after spending the majority of the season on their practice squad. The 27-year-old was active for three games in 2020 but failed to record a reception.

FEBRUARY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Off practice squad injured list Tampa Bay restored Grayson (undisclosed) to its practice squad from the injured list Friday.

Impact Grayson suited up with the Buccaneers for three games this season and logged 42 snaps overall, but he was unable to haul in any of his three targets. The LSU product had recently been saddled with an undisclosed injury that's apparently now behind him.

JANUARY 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list Grayson (undisclosed) was moved to the Buccaneers' practice squad injured list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact It has yet to be revealed what variety of injury is beleaguering Grayson, but the LSU product now leaves the fold until further notice. The 27-year-old has gone without a reception over three targets and 42 offensive snaps this season, adding a 20-yard kick return against the Packers in a Week 6 rout.

DECEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Tampa Grayson signed a contract with the Buccaneers' practice squad Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Giants cornerback Ryan Lewis inactive game against Bucs

NOVEMBER 3, 2020 • Associated Press

Inactive Week 7 Grayson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 tilt against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The reserve receiver/returner saw some action from scrimmage in Week 6 and has also logged time as a returner this season, but he'll be in street clothes with the Bucs receiver corps at full health Sunday.

Sees action from scrimmage Grayson failed to bring in either of his two targets and returned one kickoff for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Grayson logged 12 snaps on offense overall but came up empty, with his only production limited to his one kickoff return. The second-year LSU product is likely to either head back to the practice squad or continue to play a minimal role when active, unless multiple injuries simultaneously strike the receiver corps.

OCTOBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with active roster The Buccaneers signed Grayson to the active roster Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Grayson was on the team's practice squad and has only suited up once in Week 2 against the Panthers. The Buccaneers' wide receiver corps has been torched with injuries, as Mike Evans (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Scotty Miller (hip) are all battling injuries heading into Thursday's game versus the Bears. Depending on how their respective recoveries progress, Grayson could enjoy a decent workload Thursday along with Tyler Johnson and Jaydon Mickens.

OCTOBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Logs one target in win Grayson, who reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, failed to bring in his only target during the 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Grayson was active with Chris Godwin (concussion) sidelined, and the second-year wideout actually logged 18 scrimmage snaps. However, the LSU product unsurprisingly saw little of quarterback Tom Brady's attention in what was Grayson's third professional game. Godwin has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to be available for Sunday's Week 3 road matchup against the Broncos, but Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports the Bucs designated Grayson as one of their three protected practice squad players for this week on Tuesday.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to practice roster Grayson reverted to the Saints' practice squad.

Impact Both Grayson and Bennie Fowler were elevated to the active roster for Week 1's win over the Buccaneers, although Fowler was the only one to get on the field. Now, Michael Thomas (ankle) is expected to miss multiple games, so both receivers could be brought back up soon.
