Brooks is very unlikely to forge a permanent spot on the team, and he's most likely been signed just so the Buccaneers can get through Week 3 of the preseason at safety. With Roberts and Izien down, safety depth is thin, and he'll likely get quite a bit of playing time in the final frame of the preseason game against Buffalo.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have their first and last home game of the preseason by welcoming the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the North Shore. Many of the Buccaneers starters will play, but wide receiver Mike Evans, quarterback Baker Mayfield, and linebacker Lavonte David will sit out.
