The Buccaneers have waived guard Keydrick Vincent and promoted tackle Will Barker from the practice squad to the active roster. Vincent is a 10th-year pro who signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent in July.

The Buccaneers released tight end Jerramy Stevens on Monday after his weekend arrest for marijuana possession. On Sunday, Buccaneers spokesman Jonathan Grella said the team was "deeply troubled" by the arrest. Stevens did not play in Tampa Bay's 18-17 win over St. Louis.

Buccaneers rookie defender Gerald McCoy doesn't have any sacks yet and seems to be bothered by expectations. "I can't be (Warren) Sapp," McCoy said. "I don't know why people keep expecting me to be. I'm Gerald McCoy. He's 5-nothing, I'm 6-4. That's a big difference. We are who we are." Tampa Bay drafted McCoy, a defensive tackle out of Oklahoma, with the third overall pick in April.

The Buccaneers have acquired defensive end Alex Magee from the Chiefs in exchange for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick. Kansas City drafted Magee in the third round in 2009.
