Buccaneers kicker Connor Barth, who ruptured his right Achilles in a charity basketball game and will miss the entire season after having surgery Monday, said he "hopes" to begin kicking in six months and was "feeling good" after the surgery.
The Bucs called the surgery successful and placed Barth on the Non-Football Injury list. The move allows the team to rework Barth's four-year, $13.2 million contract in a way that would reduce Barth's salary while he's on the reserved list.
Lawrence Tynes was signed as a replacement.
