Running back Charles Sims won’t be on the Buccaneers’ 53-man roster when they make their cuts early next month.
The Buccaneers announced on Thursday that Sims has been placed on injured reserve. Sims
Taron Johnson Jersey , who re-signed with the team this offseason, injured his knee during last week’s preseason game against the Titans.
Sims appeared in all 16 games for the Bucs last season and saw more action as a receiver than as a runner. He caught 35 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown while running 21 times for 95 yards. Sims saw more work as a runner in his first three seasons — 224 carries in total — and also caught 51 passes during the 2015 season.
Peyton Barber
Giovani Bernard Jersey , Jacquizz Rodgers, second-round pick Ronald Jones
Gale Sayers Jersey , Shaun Wilson and Dare Ogunbowale are the backs left on the roster in Tampa after Thursday’s move.
Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler will miss the start of the regular season due to a suspension and he’ll miss the start of training camp with an injury.
Mike Kaye of First Coast News reports that Fowler will open training camp on the physically unable to perform list.
Fowler was dealing with an upper body injury during the offseason that reportedly led to him losing “sizable muscle mass.” Head coach Doug Marrone said that the team was unsure whether he’d be ready for camp and the move to the PUP list answers that question.
Kaye reports that tight end David Grinnage has also been placed on the PUP list. Both players can be activated at any time during camp, but won’t be able to practice with their teammates until they do get that green light.
