Watts will sit out his second straight contest in Week 11, this time because of a hand injury. His being out could potentially leave more playing time on the edge for 2024 second-rounder Chris Braswell.

Watts (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Rotowire
Watts (knee) has been participating in the Buccaneers' offseason training activities.
Watts landed on IR due to a knee injury ahead of Week 6 last season, and though he was designated to return in late November, he was never activated.

Watts played almost exclusively on special teams when healthy last season, and he'd likely do the same in 2025 if he makes the team.
