WR Cole Beasley retires after 2-week stint with Buccaneers

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Veteran receiver Cole Beasley has retired after a two-week stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Beasley played most of an 11-season NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. He was signed to the Bucs practice squad to fill a need at receiver while Mike Evans was a serving a one-game suspension and Chris Godwin and Julio Jones were out with injuries. Tampa Bay elevated the 33-year-old Beasley to the active roster each of the past two games. He had three receptions for 12 yards in his Bucs debut against Green Bay, then had one catch for 5 yards against Kansas City last Sunday night.
