Buccaneers make roster cuts; Tynes not on 53-man

Earlier this week we talked of the odd way in which place kicker Lawrence Tynes was kept off the Bucs' practice field.  With Rian Lindell securing the kicking duties in Tampa Bay, Tynes and his wife are quite bitter and rightfully so.

According to Michael David Smith at Pro Football Talk, Tynes will miss the entire 2013 season with a MRSA infection that is believed to be contracted at the Buccaneers' training facility.  The Bucs placed Tynes on the non-football injury list which Tynes claims will deprive him of certain benefits that players on injured reserve receive.


"This whole this i wrong, my biggest emphasis is I don't want this to happen to any current or future player.  I'm going to fight this thing as long as I have to, because this team should not be allowed to do this to players.  If I drop a 45-pound plate on my foot while lifting weights in the weight room at the facility, it's IR.  So I just don't understand how my situation is any different.  I went to work, I kicked, I practiced, I cold-tubbed, I hot-tubbed, I showered for all those days there.  I come up with MRSA and it's a non-football injury?  They're basically trying to exonerate themselves of this, and I'm not going to allow it to happen." 
Below is the list of players who were either cut or terminated from the Bucs:


CB Deveron Carr 
T Jace Daniels
LS Andrew DePaola
K Derek Dimke 
LB Ka'lial Glaud 
CB Mason Robinson
