Veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. Shepard, who signed with the Bucs to reunite with Baker Mayfield, had a promising start to his career.

After being drafted by the New York Giants in 2016, he had consistent performance until injuries impacted his last seasons. There's a potential for him to join the practice squad if he can't find another opportunity.
