Wide receiver Tiquan Underwood has been cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times. This move comes as a surprise after Underwood's performances in camp and in the Buccaneers' preseason games. Underwood had nine catches in the Bucs' four preseason games, collecting 158 yards but scoring no touchdowns.
