The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed defensive lineman Ben Stille to their active roster off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad on Friday.

Stille, 26, appeared in five games for the Cardinals in 2023 and recorded eight tackles and one sack.

Undrafted out of Nebraska in 2022, he also played in one game for the Miami Dolphins and six for the Cleveland Browns (with one start) that season.

The Buccaneers also placed defensive Earnest Brown IV on injured reserve due to a rib injury sustained in practice on Wednesday. He will have to miss a minimum of four games.

Brown, 25, recorded 14 tackles in 12 games (three starts) from 2022-23 with the Los Angeles Rams, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2021 out of Northwestern. He spent 2021 on the practice squad.
