The Buccaneers announced 26 roster moves Saturday, getting their active roster to the regular-season limit of 53 players.
The moves included the waiver of kicker Matt Gay, a 2019, fifth-round choice who was beaten out by veteran Ryan Succop. The only vested veteran the team released was center A.Q. Shipley, who signed Aug. 27.
Linebacker Chapelle Russell, a seventh-round choice this spring, did not make the initial roster.
The Bucs placed safety Justin Evans on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. He will miss at least the first six games after spending last season the PUP list.
Evans has a foot injury dating to 2018.
