Returning to Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers signed Neal to the practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Neal played in 15 regular-season games for the Buccaneers in 2023 and finished with 76 tackles (52 solo). He didn't try out for a team during training camp, but he is back with Tampa Bay on the practice squad as the Bucs look to shore up the secondary amidst injuries to Mike Edwards (hamstring), Tykee Smith (knee) and Jordan Whitehead (pectoral).

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Neal arrives in Tampa Bay off a productive season in Seattle that saw him record a career-best 66 tackles and eight pass defenses while also conceding a career-low 45.9 completion percentage in primary coverage. The fifth-year safety also logged a career-high 695 defensive snaps last year, and his physical presence leaves him poised to assume the safety duties left behind by the departed Mike Edwards. Neal has proven an efficient tackler and pass disruptor in the last three seasons overall, as he generated a combined 93 stops and eight pass breakups on 796 plays on defense between 2020 and 2021.
