Placed on PUP list
Pratt (back) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Pratt entered training camp on the active/PUP list with a back issue, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of action after failing a physical this week. Once healthy, the quarterback will likely operate as a member of the Buccaneers' practice squad in 2025.

Week-to-week with back injury
Head coach Todd Bowles announced Sunday that Pratt is week-to-week with back soreness, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Pratt spent the majority of the 2024 campaign on Tampa Bay's practice squad and didn't appear in any regular-season games despite having been elevated multiple times. Once healthy, the 23-year-old will compete with Connor Bazelak for the team's third quarterback spot behind Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask.

Signs with Tampa Bay
Pratt signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Analysis: Pratt was a seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he didn't make the team out of the preseason and spent the majority of the campaign bouncing between the Bucs' practice squad and active roster as the team's emergency QB3. Pratt never got into a regular-season game but will get another shot to try and impress the coaching staff this offseason.

Returns to practice squad
Pratt reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Pratt operated as the team's emergency quarterback in Sunday's 48-14 win over the Panthers, ultimately remaining on the sidelines for the entirety of the contest. The team has used up all three of Pratt's elevations, making it unlikely that he's back with the active roster for the Tampa Bay's regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Saints.

Inactive in Week 17
Pratt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
Analysis: Pratt was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but he wasn't designated as the emergency third quarterback, so Kyle Trask will be the only signal-caller available behind Baker Mayfield in Week 17. The seventh-round pick of the Packers has yet to enter a regular-season game in his rookie campaign.

Returns to practice squad
Pratt reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Though Pratt was elevated for Week 13, he was inactive against Carolina. The rookie quarterback hasn't yet gotten to NFL game with both Baker Mayfield (leg) and Kyle Trask ahead of him on the depth chart. It would likely take an absence by one of those two quarterbacks for Pratt to be active on a game day this season.

Headed to Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers signed Pratt to the practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Despite being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Pratt was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday to make room for the acquisition of 2022 third-round quarterback Malik Willis from Tennessee. After clearing waivers, Pratt opted to sign with the Buccaneers, and he'll serve as the practice squad quarterback after John Wolford was waived on Tuesday.

Part of team's QB struggles Sunday
Pratt completed 10 of 16 passes for 52 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-2 preseason loss to the Broncos. He added one rushing attempt for seven yards.
Analysis: Sean Clifford started and played the first four drives before Pratt handled the remainder of the game. Neither reserve quarterback led the offense to any points, suggesting that the status quo of Clifford occupying the second spot on the depth chart behind Jordan Love remains intact heading into Green Bay's preseason finale against the Ravens on Saturday.
