UPDATED: Bucs Roster Cut Tracker

The Bucs will have to trim their roster down from 80 players to 53 for the active roster and 16 practice squad players after a final round of cuts. The deadline for all NFL teams to complete this is by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m ET.

There is competition at wide receiver, inside linebacker, cornerback and more that the Bucs will have to make a decision on to fill out the team. Here is a live and updated list of all the Bucs roster cuts that are reported.

Bucs Roster Cuts

• The Bucs have waived rookie cornerback Kyler McMichael, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. McMichael was an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina. Cornerback has been one of the more competitive groups when it came to fighting for a roster spot. McMichael found himself behind Zyon McCollum, Don Gardner and Rahsard Robinson in the battle.

• Auman has also reported that the Bucs released wide receiver Jerreth Sterns. Signing with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent from Western Kentucky, Sterns was part of a trio of impressive UDFAs with Deven Thompkins and Kaylon Geiger Sr. Sterns dazzled early on showing a ton of athleticism to make catches. However, Sterns is undersized and wasn’t able to translate his highlight plays from practice over to the game. As fast as he was, Thompkins is still faster than him and he was low on the depth chart with incumbent players in Tyler Johnson and Jaelon Darden.

• Tampa Bay waived outside linebacker Andre Anthony, per Auman. Anthony was drafted in the seventh round this year by the Bucs out of LSU. While he had a slow start to camp, he really turned it on in recent weeks by recording a sack in each road game against the Titans and the preseason finale at the Colts. It’s merely a numbers game for Anthony. The Bucs are stacked at outside linebacker with Shaq Barrett, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and Anthony Nelson. They then signed Carl Nassib two weeks ago and Genard Avery the previous week. Anthony seems like a great candidate for the practice squad.

• Pewter Report’s J.C. Allen is reporting that the Bucs are waving offensive guard Sadarius Hutcherson. The offensive lineman rejoined the team after tearing his ACL as a rookie. With an important competition going on this training camp for starting left guard, Hutcherson wasn’t in the running for the reps that were shared between Luke Goedeke, Aaron Stinnie and Nick Leverett. With Stinnie out for the season, it’s down to Goedeke and Leverett for the job.

• The Bucs turned their attention to the safety position. They waived Chris Cooper, who made the 53-man roster at the start of last season. This year with additions of Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal amongst others, Cooper has another good chance at returning to the practice squad. He’s a solid player on special teams, which will help. It’s a crowded room back there with Antoine Winfield Jr, Mike Edwards and Nolan Turner as well.

• Continuing his streak of breaking news, Auman reports that the Bucs also cut safety Troy Warner. That leaves the rookie Turner from Clemson as the only possible safety outside of the more established room that still has an opportunity to make the 53-man roster. With Ryan, Neal, Winfield and Edwards, it’s not guaranteed that the Bucs will keep a fifth player at the position.
