Tampa Bay has added safety Ifeatu Melifonwu to its active roster after moving him up from the practice squad, NBC Sports reported.
Melifonwu has played in each of the Buccaneers’ first three games as a practice-squad elevation. He has participated in 54% of Tampa Bay’s special-teams plays during that stretch.
Detroit selected Melifonwu in the third round of the 2021 draft. He has appeared in 56 games and started 22 during stints with the Lions, Miami and Tampa Bay.
