After seeing lackluster performances in their kicker competition at training camp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing in a pair of former Tennessee Titans kickers.
According to the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud, the Bucs will give both Ryan Succop and Cody Parkey a look after they complete COVID-19 testing.
After poor performances in training camp by PKs Matt Gay and Ellliot Fry, the Bucs have brought in Titans K Ryan Succop and veteran K Cody Parkey to compete. They are going through COVID-19 protocol and may compete early this week. https://t.co/0Xeq2MmOAe

Parkey and Succop were part of the Titans’ kicking carousel in 2019, which led to Tennessee having the worst field goal unit in the NFL.
Succop started off last season on Injured Reserve after his knee still didn’t feel all the way back following offseason knee surgery, but he was ineffective upon his return, making just 1-of-6 field goal attempts. He ultimately landed back on IR to end his season.
Parkey was one of the kickers the Titans brought in to cover for Succop during his initial IR stint, and he was the only one to have any semblance of success. Parkey was 3-of-3 on his tries, but was later cut after Succop returned.
As we revealed on Saturday, the Titans also appear to be exploring their options at the position after working out veteran Stephen Gostkowski, who could get added to the competition between Greg Joseph and Tucker McCann in camp.
