The Buccaneers made a series of moves Tuesday to reach the NFL mandate of a 53-man roster for the regular season.
Reserve quarterback Ryan Griffin was the most notable cut, but his release also wasn’t surprising. Griffin, who’d been with the Bucs since 2016, was on borrowed time after the Bucs drafted rookie QB Kyle Trask.
The roster soon faces more reshaping, though. The Bucs currently have four players on the COVID-19 restricted list: kicker Ryan Succop, defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and offensive linemen Nick Leverett and Earl Watford.
When they return, that means other players will have to go.
