Brate secured his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Panthers. |
Brate notched his first reception of the season, helping veteran Brandon Myers man the tight end position in the absence of Austin Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder). The second-year pro is expected to receive even less playing time upon Seferian-Jenkins' return, which could possibly occur in Week 5. |

Brate agreed to a contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Times reports. |
Brate will provide some depth at the tight end position in case Austin Seferian-Jenkins is forced to miss any action due to his shoulder injury. Brate appeared in five games with the Buccaneers last season but caught just one pass for 17 yards. |
