The Bucs have spent many hours on some important decisions about roster cuts for their teams in order to get their roster down to 53 players. The team announced their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday night, but Tampa Bay isn't done adding to their roster just yet.
Up next for the organization is filling out a 16-player practice squad that will also practice with the team each week. They can get that number up to 17 if they have an international player. There were some close calls with roster cuts like player such as inside linebacker Nick Jackson and wide receiver Garrett Greene.

2025 Bucs Practice Squad
OL Michael Jordan – reported by Fox Sports' Greg Auman
Good news for Bucs' offensive line depth: veteran OL Mike Jordan, among their final cuts Tuesday, is signing back to the practice squad today. With only seven healthy OL on the 53, good chance he's elevated and could dress in the opener vs. Falcons.
