Reports: Tyler Johnson will make Bucs 53 man roster, despite missing much of camp with an injury

Only thing better would be him getting cut and the Vikings picking him up. Hope he has a better rookie year than Justin Jefferson.
 


I thought in the other thread (on Winfield?) someone was pointing out some new rule just for this year with rosters, that might lead to Johnson being temporarily added to the 53 man only to then be placed on some type of extended IR for six weeks?

Hope not, hope he makes the 53 as a player! Best of luck TJ!

Just a heads up that its not a real jersey. Doesn't even have bucs logos. I'm sure the autograph is real though.

A lot of their signed jerseys are these "custom" jerseys. According to the description....collectors like these since they are less expensive to purchase.

right. I would guess the signature is real, the certificate says the watched him sign it. Also, he is "not famous enough" for people to be forging his signature. But hey, $10 so far...

A large portion of autographed merchandise is not real. It is hilarious when you see some auctions with all the big names (some that have died decades ago) and they all used the exact same blue pen/sharpe.

I'm not a collector but if I was I'd want the real jersey! Might as well get the autograph on a piece of paper or photo if you don't want to spend money on the jersey.

But back on topic...glad TJ made the roster.

I misspoke. I meant the people getting the autographs like the "custom" jerseys because the are cheaper. Doesn't make sense to me. I would think that an authentic jersey with the signiture would be much more sought after.
 



So excited to see this. I'm a nerd that plays fantasy football and I had to avoid being the homer and picking up my favorite Gopher. TJ is a winner and I expect him to have a good NFL career. What a great situation he is walking into.

If he were placed on that IR, he wouldn’t have counted against the 53 man roster. If you place a player on IR, you can use that roster spot, but then you’ll have to make a corresponding move once that player returns.

Reports saying that he’s looked good since he’s been back from injury is great news. The third WR spot in TB is wide open. I don’t expect him to have it with all the time he’s missed, but he has the chance to work his way up throughout the season and hopefully end up there.

Grab him on waivers in like week 4. By that time Brady will be getting frustrated with his current #3 WRs and TEs and will have learned in practice that he can trust TJ to be in the right spot every time. There's a lot of mouths to feed in TB, but Brady feeds those who earn his trust. I have no doubt TJ will do that. No reason he can't become a 6 - 80 - 1 guy by the end of the season.
