Tampa Bay Buccaneers' projected roster

Examining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' roster:

QUARTERBACKS (2)

The Bucs are content to go with two quarterbacks.

RUNNING BACKS (5)

Rookie Charles Sims should return from injury around midseason.

RECEIVERS (6)

Patton appears likely to make the roster as the return man. Herron has come on strong after a rocky start to camp.

TIGHT ENDS (3)

The trade of Tim Wright saved Stocker's job.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (9)

After the trade for Mankins, the offensive line suddenly is a lot more solid.

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (9)

Solomon and English have played well and that could mean the end of the road for Da'Quan Bowers.

LINEBACKERS (6)

The Bucs still could bring in a linebacker from outside for depth.

CORNERBACKS (6)

Jenkins has been hurt most of the preseason, but his roster spot is safe.

SAFETIES (4)

The Bucs believed this position was deep enough to trade away Kelcie McCray last week.

SPECIALISTS (3)

DePaola edges out Jeremy Cain out for the job as long snapper.
