The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed starting guard Ben Bredeson on injured reserve Tuesday with an injury to his knee.

The Buccaneers also signed three-time Pro Bowl selection Jason Pierre-Paul to the practice squad and promoted fellow linebacker Nick Jackson to the active roster.

Bredeson sustained his injury during Tampa Bay’s 24-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. His move to injured reserve will sideline him for the Buccaneers’ final four games of the regular season.

Michael Jordan replaced Bredeson along the left side of the offensive line that also is missing Tristan Wirfs at tackle.

Bredeson, 27, has started all 11 games in which he has played this season. He previously missed time with a hamstring injury.

A two-time Super Bowl champion, Pierre-Paul last played with the Miami Dolphins in 2023.

Pierre-Paul, who will turn 37 on New Year’s Day, has recorded 94.5 career sacks in 182 games (150 starts) with the New York Giants (2010-17), Buccaneers (2018-21), Baltimore Ravens (2022), New Orleans Saints (2023) and Dolphins (2023).

Selected by the Giants with the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, Pierre-Paul has recorded 631 tackles, 167 quarterback hits, 21 forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries, five interceptions and three defensive touchdowns while playing defensive end and outside linebacker.

Jackson, 24, has recorded one special teams tackle in two games this season. He was undrafted after spending his collegiate career split between Virginia and Iowa.
