The Buccaneers announced the release of defensive tackle Jerel Worthy earlier Monday, but they did not announce a corresponding move.
Tampa Bay will sign defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches to take Worthy’s roster spot, Nunez-Roches tweeted.

The Bucs worked out Nunez-Roches on Friday. He played for Bucs offensive coordinator Todd Monken at Southern Mississippi.
Nunez-Roches started 11 games for the Chiefs last season, making 24 tackles and half a sack.
He originally entered the league as a sixth-round pick of Kansas City in 2015. Nunez-Roches played 24 games, with 16 starts, in his three seasons with the Chiefs.
The Chiefs cut Nunez-Roches in May, and he signed with the Colts. Indianapolis waived him out of the preseason.
