Bernard Reedy

The Cardinals cut Reedy from their practice squad Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: Reedy was brought onto the team Oct. 2 but wasn't able to stick around. He suited up for 11 games in 2017, making two catches for 21 yards.

Reedy inked a deal to join the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis: Reedy was last with Tampa Bay before an early September split. Should Reedy ultimately crack the active roster, he'll likely max out as a special teamer this season.

Reedy was released by the Buccaneers on Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis: Reedy's versatility allowed him to compete for the fifth WR spot on the Buccaneers' depth chart throughout the preseason, but he was ultimately kept off the 53-man roster. He'll be a candidate for the practice squad upon potentially clearing waivers.

Reedy, who secured his only target for five yards and returned one punt for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason win over the Dolphins on Thursday, made a pair of impressive grabs in Saturday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Reedy is competing for one of the final receiver spots this summer, with his experience in the offense and ability as a returner presumably giving him some additional leverage. While Reedy has impressive speed, he made significantly more contributions on special teams (288 combined return yards) than as a receiver (two receptions, 21 yards) in 2017. However, Reedy offered a tangible reminder of his potential as a wideout in Saturday's practice, making an impressive grab on a deep out from Jameis Winston and then putting a nifty move on his defender after the catch to gain a few extra yards. Reedy's main competition for the fifth receiver role figures to be fifth-round pick Justin Watson, who turned in a solid three-catch, 30-yard effort in Thursday's game but also lost a fumble.
