Cutdown Day

It’s not that it’s a designated day to cut players, but at 4:00 every team needs to be at 53… But they hold on as long as possible in making those cuts, making the unofficial “cutdown day”
It’s unusual for an undrafted free agent to make a team, so your WR isn’t really a surprise. If personnel guys thought he would make the cut he would’ve been drafted.Understood. Thanks, LuFin.

There's some buzz in New Orleans. They know him from the year he spent on their practice squad.
Maybe something, maybe nothing.

He’ll land somewhere. Quite frankly, I’m a little surprised he didn’t stick with us, but we’re running light on o-line to give the roster spot to skill guys that are going onto IR. If he clears waivers I won’t be surprised to see him land on our practice squad.

And I’m not surprised. He was our first add to the practice squad. Now we wait to see if their IR moves will open space to put him back on the roster…

Guys will be cut and go on the waiver wire. If they aren't picked up by another team (I think in 24 hours) they are eligible for the practice squad. The practice squad has (I think) ten spots for guys that are rookies or have just a couple of years of experience.

@Jolly It’s 16 this year, I believe.
Fifteen or sixteen, I disremember. Only five or six slots are for veterans (although I don't remember where the line is between younger and older players).

Not cutdown news, but bad enough. "Center Robert Hainsey suffered an ankle injury . . . Hainsey was supposed to be taking over for Ryan Jensen, who is out due to a serious knee injury. (In my noobie opinion, the worst injury news since Godwin). If Hainsey can't play, that would mean that the Bucs would be down to their third-string center . . . Basically, the Buccaneers are running out of offensive linemen."
