Desir totaled seven solo tackles and was credited with a defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 36-27 loss to the Saints in Week 8.
Fellow cornerback Richard Sherman was active despite a hamstring injury, but he ultimately remained on the sideline for the entire game and Desir logged a hefty 75-snap workload. The veteran corner gave up a 38-yard completion to 2015 first-round pick Kevin White, but at least his tackle tally checked in fourth on the afternoon for the Bucs. Sherman will likely be fully healthy after the Week 9 bye, which would relegate Desir back to a rotational role.
