To replace the injured Jeff Faine, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the signing of free agent center Donovan Raiola.

Originally signed by the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin in 2006, the center/guard has also had stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, and Chicago Bears.

Raiola (6-2, 293) has yet to appear in a regular season NFL game, and played for the UFL's Omaha Nighthawks this season after being released by the Buccaneers on September 4.
