Him coming back on the practice squad feels unlikely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jarrett, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bucsnation.com\/tampa-bay-buccaneers-training-camp\/64991\/notable-buccaneers-on-roster-bubble\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">highlighted as a bubble veteran<\/a> earlier this week, recorded his third rough game in a row as he finished with just 2 catches on 8 targets this preseason. While he had showcased some prior potential in the two years prior, his time has run its course as he\u2019d been overtaken by names like Tez Johnson and Ryan Miller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jose Ramirez came to the Bucs as a Day 3 pick in 2023 and has lived on the practice squad, but he\u2019s played in only four regular-season games and hasn\u2019t built on the pass-rushing prowess he showed at Eastern Michigan. The practice squad could loom once again, but his chances to show something are dwindling rapidly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mike Greene has played 13 games (2 starts) for the Bucs over the last two seasons with 8 total tackles to show for it. He showed some improvement in limited looks last year and this preseason, which makes him a good practice squad candidate, but the presence of talented rookie Elijah Roberts made it a tough 3-way call between Greene, C.J. Brewer, and Adam Gotsis for a final DL spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The rest of these names really didn\u2019t have much chance of making the roster to begin with, but their tenure with the franchise may continue if the Bucs deem them worthy of some of the 16 spots on the practice squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first of several dozen cut players leaked out Sunday as the Buccaneers trim their roster from 90&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2077],"tags":[211,7,6,704,250,38393,2597,2596],"class_list":{"0":"post-315047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-buccaneers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-tampa-bay","12":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","13":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers-training-camp","14":"tag-tampabay","15":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115086596901588860","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
