The Bucs’ wide receiver situation got shaken up again Saturday, fewer than 24 hours before their cross-country road game in San Francisco.

Tampa Bay sent out a press release at 5:07 p.m. Saturday announcing the waiver of second-year wideout Donteea Dye and promotion of receiver Freddie Martino from the practice squad.

Martino, an undrafted free agent out of Division II North Greenville University in 2014, has spent time with the Buccaneers since the offseason and was on the active roster twice this year. He’s listed at 6 foot, 195 pounds and has yet to record his first regular-season NFL catch.

Dye (6 foot, 195 pounds) had been promoted from the practice squad Wednesday in response to receiver Vincent Jackson’s placement on the injured reserve list. In his second year out of Division III Heidelberg University, Dye appeared in 10 games with Tampa Bay last year and started five. He caught 11 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown.

Saturday’s move keeps the total number of active wideouts at five: Mike Evans, Adam Humphries, Russell Shepard, Cecil Shorts III and Martino.
