Tampa Bay Buccaneers release Blake Sims
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived former Alabama quarterback Blake Sims on Monday.
Sims set Crimson Tide single-season records for total-offense and passing yards in the 2014 season, but he was trying to earn a spot with the NFL team as a running back.
In Tampa Bay's three preseason games this month, Sims carried the ball once for 3 yards.
Sims was the first running back released as Tampa Bay heads toward Saturday, when NFL teams must have their 90-player rosters reduced to the regular-season limit of 53 by 3 p.m. CDT.
