Report: Tampa Bay Buccaneers release Peyton Hillis

By , Reporter
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reportedly release running back Peyton Hillis from their 53-man roster ahead of their clash with the New England Patriots.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released running back Peyton Hillis, according to a report.

The 27-year-old joined the club in the off-season after spending last season with the Kansas City Chiefs, but failed to make an appearance in his side's first two games of the campaign.

Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano has taken the decision to release the running back to create space on his 53-man roster for another player, reports SportsTalkFlorida.com.

Hillis was drafted 227th overall in the 2008 Draft.
