The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have activated defensive tackle Calijah Kancey from Injured Reserve, marking his return after a significant absence due to a pec injury. Kancey, a first-round pick, is set to play in a critical Week 18 matchup against the Carolina Panthers as the Buccaneers attempt to maintain their slim playoff hopes. The team also elevated veteran Jason Pierre-Paul in a series of roster moves aimed at strengthening their defensive lineup. Coach Todd Bowles indicated that Kancey could be a significant asset for the team in this must-win game.
