Take an early look at how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ roster could shape up heading into the 2024 NFL season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have officially wrapped up their mandatory minicamp, putting a bow on their offseason workout program as players go off for their last break before returning for training camp and the 2024 season.

After bringing back all of their key free agents this offseason, the Bucs are in prime position to extend their streak of three straight NFC South titles and four consecutive trips to the playoffs with another solid run in 2024.

Projecting the Bucs’ initial 16-man practice squad

Who might the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign to their practice squad heading into the regular season?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have completed the arduous task of trimming their active roster down from 80 players to 53, making a flurry of moves ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.

Now that they have their initial 53-man group (one that’s sure to have a few changes in the coming days, thanks to injury moves and waiver-wire action), next on Tampa Bay’s to-do list will be putting together their 16-man practice squad.

The Bucs will be hopeful that most of the young players they let go of in order to get under the roster limit will be able to clear waivers, allowing them to be signed back as practice squad members. Others, such as wide receiver Tyler Johnson or kicker Jose Borregales, seem likely to be grabbed by other teams on the waiver wire.

Taking that into consideration, here’s our best guess at which 16 players will be back at One Buc Place as members of the practice squad heading into the regular season:
