Listed below are the Sunday roster moves for the four NFC South teams. Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline yesterday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters, claiming players off waivers or signing guys who clear waivers. Those transactions for the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are noted below.

Additionally, as of 12:00pm CT today, teams can begin constructing their 10-man practice squads. You can check out our glossary entry on practice squads to brush up on those changes, as well as all the other guidelines that govern the 10-man units, whose players practice with the team but aren’t eligible to suit up on Sundays.

Buccaneers Down To 53 Man Roster

The Buccaneers have trimmed down to 53 with more than 24 hours to go before the deadline. According to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, the following players have been dropped from the roster: "<strong

Among the cuts, Vitale’s is one of the most surprising. The Bucs are planning on carrying five tight ends, yet the sixth-round pick out of Northwestern apparently did not show enough to make the cut. The Bucs will have Cameron Brate, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Luke Stocker, Brandon Myers, and UDFA Alan Cross on the roster to open up the season instead. Myers and Cross were both considered to be on the bubble somewhat, but they have impressed Dirk Koetter & Co. to the point where they are going to carry five tight ends and bounce a sixth-round pick in order to keep both of them. Myers was inactive for the Bucs’ final five games of 2015 as a healthy scratch.

Today’s minor moves:

  • The Buccaneers have signed former FSU cornerback Javien Elliott and safety Kimario McFadden, as freelance reporter Jenna Laine tweets.
  • The Raiders announced that they have waived wideout Robert Herron. The 23-year-old has also spent time with the Buccaneers and Dolphins, compiling 58 yards and one touchdown with Tampa Bay in 2014.
  • Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle tweets that the Packers have cut quarterback Ryan Williams and replaced him with Marquise Williams. The team’s new 6-2 signal-caller out of North Carolina will join a quarterback grouping that includes Aaron Rodgers, Brett Hundley, and Joe Callahan.
  • Bengals kicker Jonathan Brown has been transferred to the injured reserve, tweets Wilson. The former Kentucky soccer standout went unclaimed after having been waived-injured.
