during training camp and games so far this presidency.

Genard Avery after he was released on Monday by Pittsburgh Steelers.

[{"selector":"#anim-728ec5ba-bf8e-4e9c-a002-60b4c963293c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Avery is still a young player and may be extra motivated to perform

[{"selector":"#anim-98ac01a9-b8bf-42c8-b792-f810fe519c1e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-26.033135692666075%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

but what might ultimately help keep him on the Bucs

[{"selector":"#anim-2542750d-9829-407b-92e9-ac646311b53c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.039325727643995%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The 53-man roster is his ability to perform on special teams.
