The Bucs' all-time single-season sack leader is returning to Tampa Bay. Shaquil Barrett, who ended his retirement in November, had to clear waivers Thursday to sign with another team. The Bucs will add him to their 53-man roster after he joins the club Saturday morning.

With Tampa Bay’s defense burdened with multiple injuries throughout this season, Barrett hopes to be a key factor as the Bucs attempt a playoff push over the final two games. The Bucs face the Panthers on Sunday, while the Falcons will play the Commanders.

Linebacker Shaquil Barrett, one day after being waived by the Miami Dolphins, is set to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, multiple media outlets reported Friday night.
