The Bucs elevated punter Trenton Gill and wide receiver Cody Thompson from the practice squad for Thursday Night Football.
It marks the second elevation of the season for Gill and the first of the season for Thompson.

Thompson signed with the Bucs on June 6 and spent all of training camp with the team before he was waived Aug. 27. He re-signed to the practice squad two days later.
He entered the league as a college free agent in 2019, signing with the Chiefs. He also has spent time with the Seahawks and Bengals.
Thompson has appeared in 12 career games — all for the Seahawks — the past three seasons. He has one career reception for 10 yards.
