Cade Otton

Buccaneers downgraded TE Cade Otton (knee) to out for Week 16 against the Cowboys.

Otton entered the weekend as a game-time decision but will ultimately be held out for the team’s Week 16 tilt with the Cowboys. Now the last remaining primary pass-catcher on the offense, Mike Evans should have every opportunity to continue his bid for his 11th straight 1,000-yard season. Expect Payne Durham and Ko Kieft to share the load at tight end with Otton out of action.
