Kyle Trask Hits Kaylon Geiger Down the Sideline | Highlight QB Kyle Trask delivers a pass to WR Kaylon Geiger down the sideline at 2023 Buccaneers Training Camp.
Inks future deal Tampa Bay signed Geiger to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Geiger made three appearances for Tampa Bay during the 2022 campaign, but he played more on special teams (17 snaps) than he did on offense. With his new deal, the undrafted wideout out of Texas Tech will have a chance to compete for a larger role throughout the offseason.

Back to practice squad Geiger reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Geiger played four snaps on offense, but failed to tally any stats. It was his third elevation to the active roster, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster, if he's going to play for Tampa Bay again this season.

Suiting up vs. Atlanta Tampa Bay elevated Geiger from its practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
Impact This will be the third game this season Geiger is active for the Buccaneers and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to suit up. The 24-year-old wideout has not registered a target in 2022, but he could feasibly see more work than usual with Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (knee) both listed as questionable.

Signed to active roster The Buccaneers signed Geiger from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact With Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) out, Geiger was elevated to the active roster and made his NFL debut in the team's win over the Saints on Sunday, playing eight total snaps (one offensive). It's unclear when Jones or Godwin will be able to play again and Mike Evans is facing a possible one-game suspension, so Geiger has received a more secure spot on the active roster, though he figures to still operate primarily on special teams.

Goes back to practice squad Geiger reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Geiger made his NFL debut in the team's win over the Saints on Sunday. With Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) out, Geiger helped chip in on special teams and provided emergency depth at wide receiver.

Elevated to active roster The Buccaneers elevated Geiger from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Geiger, an undrafted rookie, inked a practice-squad deal with Tampa Bay at the end of August after failing to land a spot on the Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster. Tampa Bay has already ruled out Chris Godwin (hamstring) and has four other wideouts listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what the Buccaneers' receiving corps will look like in Week 2.

'We all had to work extra hard': Bucs' undrafted WR trio emerging as preseason stars They're small, but undrafted rookie WRs Jerreth Sterns, Deven Thompkins and Kaylon Geiger continue to make plays in Bucs training camp.

Four catches in preseason opener Geiger brought in all four targets for 52 yards and returned one punt for no gain in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.
Impact The undrafted Texas Tech product put some good work on tape during the exhibition opener, checking in second or tied for second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night. Andrew Crane of the Tampa Bay Times notes head coach Todd Bowles made specific mention of the rookie's performance, which included 26- and 19-yard catches, noting "Geiger turned it on" when running through which young wideouts made a strong impression during the contest. Despite the encouraging showing, however, Geiger still faces long odds to snag a spot in a deep receiver room, but he could certainly be a candidate for the practice squad with another pair of strong performances this preseason.

Signs with Tampa Bay The Buccaneers signed Geiger as an undrafted free agent Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Geiger finished his collegiate career at Texas Tech, totaling 44 passes for 533 yards and a touchdown during the 2021 campaign. He'll likely compete with several wideouts in a long-shot effort to make the team, including Jerreth Sterns and Deven Thompkins, who were also signed as UDFAs.
