Cichy (arm) retired from the NFL on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy spent all four of his professional seasons with Tampa Bay, but he failed to make an appearance last season after playing in at least four games in each of his first three campaign. The Wisconsin product's NFL career was spoiled by injuries, most recently a broken arm during the 2021 campaign. The 2018 sixth-round pick finished his career with seven tackles across 16 appearances while mostly operating on special teams.

Cichy suffered a broken arm in Sunday's NFC divisional-round win over the Saints, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy has endured terrible injury luck during his football career dating back to his days at Wisconsin. The 24-year-old linebacker tore the ACL in his right knee in college and tore the ACL in his left knee during his rookie 2018 season. There's no clear timeline for his return, but he's out for the rest of the postseason. Cichy will be a restricted free agent in March.

Cichy (elbow) will not return to Sunday's NFC divisional-round matchup against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy tore his ACL back in 2018, and a number of injuries have limited him to just 10 appearances in two seasons since then. An injury sustained while covering a punt in the first quarter will now force the 24-year-old to miss the remainder of Sunday's playoff match.

Cichy (hamstring) has passed through waivers upon being let go by Tampa Bay with a failed physical designation Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy came off injured reserve Nov. 28 after sitting out seven games due to a hamstring injury, but the Buccaneers seemingly did not like what they saw when the Wisconsin product retook the field. Now eligible to sign with any team of his choosing, the 25-year-old will aim to catch on with another franchise once fully recuperated.

The Buccaneers waived Cichy on Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy suited up for the first five games of the season, playing exclusively on special teams. He spent the next seven weeks on injured reserve before being activated last Saturday, and now he's been let go. The Wisconsin product's career has been plagued by injury dating back to his college days -- he tore his ACL in college and again in the NFL. The 24-year-old linebacker may need to settle for a special-teams role for the time being.

The Buccaneers designated Cichy (hamstring) for a return off injured reserve Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy has resided on IR since Oct. 12, as he suffered the hamstring injury in Week 5's loss to the Bears. The team will now have 21 days to activate the Wisconsin product, but until then, Chapelle Russell and Kevin Minter will continue to handle the depth inside linebacker snaps.

The Buccaneers placed Cichy (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cichy won't be eligible to return until Week 9 against the Saints, but the team believes he has a good chance to be activated by then. The Wisconsin product has battled with injuries since being drafted in 2018, missing a combined 22 games over the previous two campaigns. He's played strictly on special teams this season.
