The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bolstering their wide receiver depth by signing Matthew Henry, who most recently played for Western Kentucky. Henry previously played at Western Illinois, where he had a standout season in 2024, catching 62 passes for 1,140 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged an impressive 18.4 yards per reception during that time.
Henry then transferred to Western Kentucky for the 2025 season, continuing his productive play with 48 receptions for 762 yards and six touchdowns. His signing comes shortly before the Buccaneers' final preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This move adds another player for the team to evaluate as they finalize their 53-man roster.
With final roster cuts approaching rapidly, Henry's arrival provides the Buccaneers' coaching staff with an additional option to consider. He will compete for a spot against other receivers vying for limited roster positions.
