Kirk Cousins and the Vikings got a much-needed primetime win on Sunday Night Football as Minnesota held on to beat the Cowboys in Dallas.

The Buccaneers announced they have promoted cornerback Mazzi Wilkins to the active roster from the practice squad.

Wilkins spent the first 10 weeks of the season on the Bucs’ practice squad.

He originally entered the league with Tampa Bay as a college free agent out of the University of South Florida in May.

Wilkins made 110 tackles, 22 passes defensed, three interceptions and one fumble recovery in 47 career games over four seasons with the Bulls.

The team also announced it has signed cornerback John Franklin III to the practice squad.
