Don Gardner: Reaches injury settlement

The Buccaneers waived Gardner (hamstring) on Sunday with an injury settlement, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Gardner has sat out since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Bucs' 18-17 preseason win over the Broncos on Aug. 11. Auman notes that Gardner could return to Tampa Bay's practice squad, which is where he spent the 2022 season.
