"Jon Gruden was initially inducted into the Bucs Ring of Honor based on his many accomplishments during his seven seasons as our head coach, and he remains a significant figure in the history of our franchise," the Buccaneers said in a statement. "Upon further reflection, we have decided to reinstate him into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers say they're reinstating former coach Jon Gruden into their ring of honor. The move comes less than four years after they removed him from the ring over his use of racist, homophobic and misogynistic language in emails to an NFL executive while he was a television analyst.
