Bucs waived/injured RB Troymain Pope.
The Bucs also waived Quinton Bell, Nate Brooks, T.J. Simmons, and Lawrence White. This brings their roster down to 80 players. Pope was a long-shot to make Tampa Bay’s roster with Giovani Bernard and Ke’Shawn Vaughn standing in his way. He was unable to play in the team’s second preseason game because of an injury which likely spelled the end of his time in Tampa Bay.
