Buccaneers finally waive Garrett Gilkey, make other roster moves

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have finally waived Garrett Gilkey, a move fans have been clamoring for since 2014. The offensive lineman failed his pre-training camp physical.

The Bucs also placed wide receiver Louis Murphy and guard J.R. Sweezy on the Physically Unable to Perform list, and undrafted safety Elijah Shumate on the non-football injury list. Players can be taken off either list at any time, so this won't have any lasting consequences.

Murphy's presence on that list isn't surprising, as he's rehabbing a torn ACL. Sweezy's presence is a little more problematic as his injury was supposed to be a minor procedure, but had now kept him out for basically the entire offseason so far.
