TAMPA (SNN-TV) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived or released 26 players yesterday as they got their roster down to the regular-season limit of 53, but at least 14 of those 26 will be back on the practice field tomorrow morning.
QB John Wolford, one of the three vested vets brought back, gives the Buccaneers a third quarterback in the building after they kept just two, Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask, on the 53-man roster.
Outside linebacker Jose Ramirez, a 6th-round pick out of Eastern Michigan, was the only player in his draft class to be waived yesterday but the Buccaneers were able to bring him back after he made it through waivers.
The Bucs also devoted a spot to wide receiver David Moore, who led the team in receiving during the preseason and brings NFL experience to the position, after keeping only five receivers on the active roster. And despite keeping a stunning six undrafted rookies on the 53-man crew, the Buccaneers found spots for seven more on the practice squad.
