Tampa Bay is slated to waive Brown on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Brown won't stick on the Buccaneers' 53-man roster despite performing well during preseason action, but he could be a candidate to pop back up on the practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Shepherd logged four carries 13 yards and secured his only target for a 24-yard gain in Tampa Bay's preseason finale.

Buccaneers' Ronnie Brown: Closes preseason with solid showing
Rotowire
Brown rushed four times for 13 yards and brought in his only target for a 24-yard gain in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
Brown's likely primary competitor for a roster spot, Sean Tucker, outgained him by 21 rushing yards on six additional carries and nine more snaps overall, but the former shined with his one reception. The Shepherd product wrapped up the exhibition slate with 33 yards on 12 carries and a 3-38 line through the air, and whether that was enough to make the leap from undrafted free agent to a spot on the active roster will soon be known.

Buccaneers' Ronnie Brown: Sees more action Saturday
Rotowire
Brown rushed seven times for 19 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Buccaneers' 13-6 preseason win over the Jets on Saturday night.
The former Division II star had logged only two touches in the preseason-opening loss to the Steelers, but his workload got a nice boost as the coaching staff gave both Brown and fellow undrafted rookie Sean Tucker long looks. Brown was in on 13 plays overall -- six fewer than Tucker -- and he finished third behind him and Patrick Laird in rushing yards. The 23-year-old will likely get another extended look during Saturday night's home preseason finale against the Ravens.
