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: Returns to field
Wolford (neck) was back at practice Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Wolford suffered the injury in Saturday's preseason victory over the Jets. Despite being carted off the field on a backboard and taken to a local hospital, the 27-year-old managed to avoid a serious injury, which is, of course, good news for the Wake Forest product.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Test results encouraging
Coach Todd Bowles said Sunday that Wolford (neck) is " feeling better" and that his medical tests "came out pretty [well]," Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Wolford suffered a neck injury during Sunday's preseason contest against the Jets and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. The Buccaneers announced shortly thereafter that Wolford had movement in all of his extremities, and per Bowles the team will now "just see how he recovers." Expect Tampa Bay to add a third-string option behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in the near future.

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.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Solid showing in preseason opener
Wolford completed 10 of 17 passes for 111 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed once for two yards in the Buccaneers' 27-17 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday night.
Wolford was the third quarterback into the contest after Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask played out the first installment of their intriguing preseason job battle, and it was the third-string signal-caller that actually posted the best numbers among the trio. While plenty of attention is rightfully heaped on the Mayfield-Trask competition, it's worth noting Wolford isn't exactly the average No. 3 quarterback -- he had a spring-league starting stint during his days in the AAF and also has postseason NFL experience in addition to seven regular-season appearances with the Rams from 2020 through 2022. Consequently, it wouldn't be entirely out of the question if Wolford finds his way onto the field at some point during the 2023 campaign, given Mayfield and Trask are far from locks to play effectively over an entire season.

Buccaneers' John Wolford: Joins Tampa
Wolford signed with Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The former Ram gives the Buccaneers a third quarterback on the roster for spring practices, behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. The 27-year-old Wolford started one game for the Rams in 2020 and three last year, but he hasn't shown much promise with only one TD pass and five interceptions on 104 pass attempts in the NFL.
