Buccaneers' Leonard Wester: Set to hit free agency
Wester won't be tendered by the Buccaneers and will become an unrestricted free agent, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Wester's departure will cost Tampa Bay some of its offensive line depth after he spent most of last season as the backup for both tackle positions. The 26-year-old veteran will be free to discuss contract terms with any team once free agency begins, though the Buccaneers could still keep him if they're able to work out a deal.

Wester (lower leg) participated in Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Buccaneers' Leonard Wester: Active Week 13
Wester (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Wester didn't appear on the injury report until Friday, but it appears the issue wasn't too serious. With Demar Dotson (knee) and Ali Marpet (knee) on injured reserve, Wester could see a larger role on the offensive line than he has to this point in the season.

Buccaneers' Leonard Wester: Questionable for Week 13
Wester (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 13 tilt against the Packers.
Wester apparently suffered the injury in Friday's practice, as he'd put in full sessions both Wednesday and Thursday. Given his status as a reserve lineman, a potential absence on his part normally wouldn't be much cause for concern. However, with the Buccaneers having placed both Demar Dotson and Ali Marpet on injured reserve this past week with knee injuries -- and Joe Hawley listed as questionable with an illness -- Wester was potentially slated for a bigger role than usual Sunday. Tampa promoted Mike Liedtke from the practice squad Saturday to serve as depth in case Wester and/or Hawley are unable to suit up.
