The Buccaneers of Tampa Bay re-signed the defensive platform Desmond Watson and added it to the training team while the team is preparing to face the Eagles of Philadelphia during week 4.
Watson, the 464-pound defensive background player in Florida, failed to list 53 men in pre-season. He was forced to the key because he did not meet the packaging requirements to take the ground. He was considered the heaviest player in the history of the NFL.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Watson had a “good training when the team brought him last week.
The Buccaneers will seek to try to find a way to stop Tash’s push of the Eagles, which has been in the spotlight in recent weeks because it seemed that some players had jumped before the ball was broken to Jalen Hurts.
Bowles said Watson was not only brought like the response to Tash’s push.
“We will never bring it just to stop a TUSH push. If we have to bring a guy to stop a game and Tash push never gets up, you waste your time,” said Bowles. “If we take him, we think he can play, not only for something philadelphia.

Super bowl champion Nick Foles says he’s “pro tash push” while the critic of the play rises
“It is very unlikely that he is ready to play, once we have brought him, for Philadelphia at the moment. It’s just a question to make room for us and see if we have a place for him, then what we see for him in the future.”
The 6 -foot defensive tackle was working with a nutritionist during the summer. The team did not say what was an ideal weight for him.
Watson spoke of his weight gain for journalists earlier this year. He said he would stop constantly to gain food in Florida.
“Stop driving by driving,” said Watson when he asked the bad habits he tried to lose his professional day. “My greatest thing is to continue, to happen where I have to get. There are stores and many temptations. It helped me a lot.

“Do not go inside the service station. Pay at the pump. Because inside, they are snacks and all types of things like that. Do not stop. If you are on the highway, stay on the highway until you arrive where you have to go.”
