BUCCANEERS ELEVATE MICHAEL JORDAN

Sep 15, 2025 at 03:53 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today elevated offensive lineman Michael Jordan from the practice squad for Tampa Bay's Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans. It marks his second elevation of the season.

Jordan (6-6, 312) made his Buccaneers debut in Week 1, starting at left guard and contributing to an offensive line that produced three passing touchdowns and a league-leading ninth consecutive 100-yard rushing performance. He has appeared in 68 career games, including 41 starts, between the Cincinnati Bengals (2019–20), Carolina Panthers (2021–22), New England Patriots (2024) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2025). He originally entered the league as a fourth-round selection (No. 136 overall) by the Bengals in the 2019 NFL Draft. Jordan played collegiately at The Ohio State University (2016–18), where he started 41 consecutive games across three seasons, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2017. He helped anchor an Ohio State offensive line that led the Big Ten in scoring and total offense in each of his three seasons. The Canton, Michigan, native wears No. 60 for Tampa Bay.
