Impact Pratt entered training camp on the active/PUP list with a back issue, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of action after failing a physical this week. Once healthy, the quarterback will likely operate as a member of the Buccaneers' practice squad in 2025.

Signs with Tampa Bay Pratt signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Impact Pratt was a seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he didn't make the team out of the preseason and spent the majority of the campaign bouncing between the Bucs' practice squad and active roster as the team's emergency QB3. Pratt never got into a regular-season game but will get another shot to try and impress the coaching staff this offseason.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Pratt reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Pratt operated as the team's emergency quarterback in Sunday's 48-14 win over the Panthers, ultimately remaining on the sidelines for the entirety of the contest. The team has used up all three of Pratt's elevations, making it unlikely that he's back with the active roster for the Tampa Bay's regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Saints.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as emergency QB Pratt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Impact The quarterback was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday but will only be able to enter Sunday's game if Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask are unavailable. The seventh-round pick of the Packers has yet to enter a regular-season game in his rookie campaign.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 17 The Buccaneers elevated Pratt from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact It's the third time Pratt has been elevated to the active roster this season. He's expected to serve as the Bucs' emergency third-string quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask during Sunday's NFC South clash against the Panthers.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Pratt reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Though Pratt was elevated for Week 13, he was inactive against Carolina. The rookie quarterback hasn't yet gotten to NFL game with both Baker Mayfield (leg) and Kyle Trask ahead of him on the depth chart. It would likely take an absence by one of those two quarterbacks for Pratt to be active on a game day this season.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad The Buccaneers elevated Pratt from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pratt will be elevated to the active roster for the second time this season. He's expected to serve as the Buccaneers' emergency third-string quarterback for Sunday's game against the Panthers behind starter Baker Mayfield and backup Kyle Trask.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with practice squad Pratt reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Pratt operated as the team's emergency third quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in the team's 31-26 loss to the Falcons, failing to enter the game. Pratt can be elevated two more times before he'd need to be officially signed to the active roster.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad The Buccaneers elevated Pratt from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pratt, a rookie seventh-round pick, was initially drafted by Green Bay but ended up on Tampa Bay's practice squad after late August roster cuts. It looks like he'll get a chance to work as an emergency No. 3 option behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask versus Atlanta on Sunday.

Headed to Tampa Bay The Buccaneers signed Pratt to the practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Despite being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Pratt was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday to make room for the acquisition of 2022 third-round quarterback Malik Willis from Tennessee. After clearing waivers, Pratt opted to sign with the Buccaneers, and he'll serve as the practice squad quarterback after John Wolford was waived on Tuesday. If he's elevated to the active roster, Pratt will operate as the Bucs' emergency quarterback and only see the field if both Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask were to sustain injuries in the same game.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cut by Green Bay The Packers waived Pratt on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The seventh-round rookie out of Tulane completed 23 of 35 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception during the preseason. The Packers could try to further develop Pratt on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Michael Pratt says the Packers 'took advantage of some opportunities' against the Ravens

AUGUST 24, 2024 • YOUTUBE

Part of team's QB struggles Sunday Pratt completed 10 of 16 passes for 52 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-2 preseason loss to the Broncos. He added one rushing attempt for seven yards.

Impact Sean Clifford started and played the first four drives before Pratt played the remainder of the game. Neither backup quarterback led the offense to any points, suggesting that the status quo of Clifford occupying the second spot on the depth chart behind Jordan Love remains intact heading into Green Bay's preseason finale against the Ravens on Saturday.
