Taking a look at the Bucs’ initial 53-man roster

As with all cuts, there were a few surprises. Two players to take note of are John Hurst and John Molchon. Per Greg Auman of the Athletic, both players will be placed on IR, which will free up two roster spots. One of those will be taken by Leonard Fournette once he officially signs with the Bucs and the other will be taken by whomever the Bucs deem fit to get the job done. Safety Justin Evans was placed on the Reserve/PUP list, so he won’t count toward the 53 until after Week 6.
