Nov. 8 (UPI) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have added wide receiver Freddie Martino from the practice squad to the active roster.

Tampa Bay announced the move on Wednesday. The Buccaneers signed defensive end Patrick Gamble to the practice squad in a corresponding transaction.

Martino, 26, signed with the Buccaneers last season as a free agent. He spent this season on the team’s practice squad. The 6-foot, 195-pound pass catcher had 142 yards and a touchdown in 13 games last season for the Buccaneers. He had just one target in one game in 2014 for the Atlanta Falcons. Martino will wear No. 16 for the Buccaneers.

Gamble, 23, entered the NFL this offseason as an undrafted free agent signing by the New York Jets. He was waived after spending the offseason and preseason with the team. The 6-foot-5, 277-pound defender played collegiately at Georgia Tech. He will wear No. 78 for the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay suddenly needs some depth at wide receiver. Pro Bowler Mike Evans is out for Sunday’s game after receiving a one-game suspension for the NFL.

“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during Sunday’s game,” Evans said in a statement on Tuesday.

“I saw my quarterback getting shoved and I let my emotions get the better of me. My response was not appropriate and not a true indication of who I am as a player and a person. I take pride in playing the game the right way and I realize it was unprofessional and hurt my team.”

The Buccaneers have DeSean Jackson, Adam Humphries, Chris Godwin and Bernard Reedy on the depth chart behind Evans at the wide receiver position.
