Michael Wiley: Everything you need to know

The Buccaneers waived Wiley (undisclosed) on Saturday with a non-football injury designation, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Wiley spent time on Tampa Bay's practice squad in 2025 and inked a reserve/future contract with the team in January, but with roster spots at a premium in order to pursue undrafted free agents in the wake of the 2026 NFL Draft, he finds himself in need of a new team. Once recovered from his undisclosed injury, Wiley will search for a chance to compete for a reserve role elsewhere. He's still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

The Buccaneers signed Wiley to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Wiley spent some time on Tampa Bay's practice squad in 2025, though he was never elevated to suit up for a regular-season game with the team. The running back will compete to secure a reserve role with the Buccaneers this offseason.

The Buccaneers cut Wiley from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The move makes room on Tampa Bay's practice squad for fellow running back Josh Williams, who was waived by the Buccaneers' active roster Monday. Wiley will look to join a team in need of backfield depth on the practice squad, though he has yet to see regular-season action since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024.
