Buccaneers' John Wolford: Inactive Sunday
Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The 28-year-old will serve as Tampa Bay's emergency third quarterback, and he's able to play if both Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask get injured or disqualified in Sunday's contest. Wolford's last in-game action came in 2022, when he stepped in for an injured Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Staying in Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers signed Wolford to their 53-man roster Tuesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Russini initially reported Monday that the Rams signed Wolford off the Bucs' practice squad in response to Matthew Stafford dealing with a thumb injury, but the former will ultimately stay in Tampa Bay. The Rams and Vikings -- who lost Kirk Cousins to a season-ending Achilles injury Sunday -- were reported to be interested in Wolford, but the Bucs ultimately decided to promote Wolford to the 53-man roster and will continue to operate as the third quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask.

John Wolford: Gets practice squad chance
Wolford signed to the Buccaneers' practice squad Wednesday, NFL.com reports.
Wolford was a distant third behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in the quarterback hierarchy during training camp, so his release was not surprising. Neither is his addition to the team's practice squad as the de facto No. 3 option under center. The 27-year-old will now continue to learn the playbook at practice after spending his first three seasons with the Rams.

John Wolford: Slated to be released
Wolford is expected to be released by the Buccaneers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
With Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask competing for the starting job under center, Wolford was always expected to be the odd-man out. However, given his familiarity with the playbook, he will be a strong candidate to land on the team's practice squad. The 27-year-old spent his first three seasons with the Rams.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Injures neck Saturday
Wolford suffered a neck injury during Sunday's preseason contest at the Jets, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
After Kyle Trask handled quarterback duties for the Buccaneers for the entire first half, Wolford was the next QB to get the call instead of Baker Mayfield. While directing the offense in the third quarter, Wolford had his helmet driven into the ground on a sack, which left him down on the field for a spell. He was placed on a backboard and needed a cart to get off the field, but fortunately the team announced that he has movement on all of his extremities and will visit a local hospital for further evaluation.
