News

  • Will not return

    Murphy-Bunting (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting had three combined tackles and a pass defended before his exit. His departure will leave the Cardinals down one of their starting corners for the remainder of Week 6. Max Melton will likely continue seeing an uptick in snaps while the 27-year-old is sidelined.

  • Moving west

    Murphy-Bunting is slated to sign with the Cardinals on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After four years in Tampa Bay, Murphy-Bunting spent 2023 in Tennessee, where he appeared in 14 games and recorded 57 tackles (42 solo), eight passes defended (including two interceptions) and two forced fumbles. He'll be expected to help bolster a secondary that gave up a 102.9 quarterback rating last season, which was second-worst in the league. He'll likely be starting opposite cornerback Garrett Williams, who was selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft.

  • Big role in Tennessee

    Murphy-Bunting recorded 57 total tackles, eight passes defended (including two interceptions) and two forced fumbles across 14 regular-season games with the Titans in 2023.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting joined the Titans on a one-year deal before the 2023 season, and he topped 800 defensive snaps for the second time in his five-year career. He also logged a career high in tackles and matched his career high in passes defended, setting him up well to enter the free-agent market once again this offseason.

  • Ready for Sunday

    Murphy-Bunting (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting opened the Titans' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, but after a full workload Friday, the 26-year-old cornerback seems to have moved past his hip issue. The Central Michigan product has started all 12 games he's appeared in for Tennessee this year, logging 48 total tackles, six pass deflections and one interception.

    Murphy-Bunting (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting suffered a hip injury in the team's overtime loss to the Texans in Week 15, and he'll now be forced to miss at least one contest. In his absence, Eric Garror is a candidate to see an increased workload in Tennessee's secondary versus Seattle.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting departed in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return soon thereafter. He had notched one tackle prior to his departure. Eric Garror could see more action while Murphy-Bunting is out.

    Murphy-Bunting hurt his knee in Monday's game against Miami and has been deemed questionable to return, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting landed awkwardly on his left leg while matching up with Tyreek Hill in the second half. Prior to his exit, he logged six tackles (all solo) and a deflected pass. Eric Garror stepped into Murphy-Bunting's place following the latter's exit.

  • Logs full practice Wednesday

    Murphy-Bunting (thumb) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was sidelined for Tennessee's last two games as he nursed a thumb injury he sustained in Week 9 at Pittsburgh, but it looks like he'll be ready to return in Week 12. He figures to step back into a starting role at corner come Sunday versus the Panthers.

  • Won't play at Jacksonville

    Murphy-Bunting (thumb) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting will miss his second straight game as he nurses a thumb injury he sustained in Week 9 at Pittsburgh. In his stead, Kristian Fulton and Roger McCreary figure to again serve as Tennessee's top corners in Week 11.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Limited at practice Wednesday

    Murphy-Bunting (thumb) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting sat out of Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, but he'll be present for the Titans' first practice of the new week. If he can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Won't play at Tampa Bay

    Murphy-Bunting (thumb) is out for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting will miss his first game of the season as he tends to a thumb injury he sustained in Week 9 at Pittsburgh. In his absence, Tre Avery will likely see an expanded role in Week 10.

  • Won't practice Wednesday

    Murphy-Bunting (thumb) will not participate at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike Vrabel also said Wednesday that Murphy-Bunting is doubtful for Week 10. He'll probably need to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of playing Sunday at Tampa Bay.

  • Exits with injury

    Murphy-Bunting is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Steelers due to a thumb injury, Alan Saunders of PittsburghSportsNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting did not log a statistic before exiting during the first half Thursday. The 26-year-old cornerback played nearly every defensive snap during Tennessee's first seven games of the season, accumulating 31 tackles and four passes defended. With Murphy-Bunting's return now up in the air and Roger McCreary (hamstring) already inactive, it's likely that Tre Avery will have to step into a bigger role opposite Kristian Fulton.

  • Gets first interception of season

    Murphy-Bunting recorded three tackles and an interception in Sunday's 24-16 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting found himself in the right place at the right time in the middle of the third quarter when Lamar Jackson sailed a second-down pass over the head of Rashod Bateman and into his hands. He's arguably set up even better for Week 8 after a bye, when Tennessee is set to host Atlanta.

  • Not in concussion protocol

    Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Murphy-Bunting has been cleared of a concussion, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was forced out of Sunday's 27-3 loss at Cleveland after taking a blow to the head, but he ultimately avoided a major injury. He's still one of Tennessee's top two cover corners going into Week 4.

  • Being evaluated for concussion

    Murphy-Bunting left Sunday's game against Cleveland and is being evaluated for a concussion, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting departed in the fourth quarter and is now in the NFL's concussion protocol. Before his exit, he recorded six tackles (all solo). He'll need to pass through the protocol before next Sunday's contest versus Cincinnati in order to be able to play in that game.

  • Strikes deal with Tennessee

    Murphy-Bunting agreed Monday on a one-year contract with the Titans, Matt Moraitis of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting can make up to $5 million next season with Tennessee, the second stop of his career following four seasons with the Buccaneers. The cornerback appeared in 12 games in 2022, recording a career-low 31 tackles while also producing seven pass breakups, two interceptions and a forced fumble. Murphy-Bunting will step right into a prominent role in the Titans secondary and has a shot at earning himself a long-term contract with a "prove-it" deal in 2023.

  • Solid season in 2022

    Murphy-Bunting finished the 2022 regular season with 31 tackles (19 solo), two interceptions, five additional pass breakups and one forced fumble across 12 games.

    Analysis: The fourth-year defensive back added six tackles (four solo) during the wild-card loss to the Cowboys. Murphy-Bunting missed five games overall due to quadriceps injuries, but by the numbers, he turned in his most effective season in coverage yet. Murphy-Bunting surrendered a paltry 37.5 percent completion rate and 3.9 yards per attempt as a primary defender across 411 defensive snaps, and both his interception and total pass-breakups tallies ranked as the second-highest marks of his career.

  • Back in action

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After having missed both of the last two contests due to a quadriceps issue, Murphy-Bunting is now slated to start at cornerback alongside Carlton Davis given that Jamel Dean (toe) is unavailable this weekend.

  • Considered questionable

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting has missed back-to-back games due to a quadriceps issue and is in danger of missing a third despite being a full participant at each practice this week. Jamel Dean (toe) has already been ruled out, so if Murphy-Bunting also remains sidelined, Dee Delaney and Zyon McCollum would both be candidates for increased roles opposite Carlton Davis.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting missed back-to-back games due to a quadriceps issue, but he appears on track to suit up in Week 15 after logging a full practice Wednesday. Jamel Dean (toe) is still in a walking boot, so Murphy-Bunting may operate as the No. 2 cornerback opposite Carlton Davis against Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Remains sidelined Sunday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) has been ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game versus San Francisco.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting will miss his second consecutive game with a quadriceps injury. With starting safeties Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Antoine Winfield (ankle) also inactive, Tampa Bay's secondary will be undermanned while it faces the 49ers' stable of talented offensive playmakers.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting, who missed Week 13 due to a quadriceps injury, logged back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 14 prep but was upgraded to a full participant Friday, suggesting he's on track to suit up Sunday. If available, he figures to operate as the slot cornerback behind Jamel Dean and Carlton Davis.

  • Sitting out Monday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is inactive Monday against the Saints, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was able to log limited practices throughout the week, but he'll be unable to take the field in Week 13's divisional showdown with the Saints. The fourth-year pro suffered a contusion Week 12 against the Browns and will now work to be ready Week 15 against the 49ers. In his absence, Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney may see increased opportunities.

  • Unlikely to play Monday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game versus New Orleans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After being limited at practice all week, it appears Murphy-Bunting will more than likely have to sit out in Week 13 with a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 12 at Cleveland. If Murphy-Bunting is indeed out, rookie fifth-rounder Zyon McCollum would probably be in line for increased reps on the boundaries.

  • Bruised up Sunday

    Murphy-Bunting suffered a contusion in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The location of the contusion is unknown, but it'll leave Murphy-Bunting questionable for Week 13 against the Saints. With Mike Edwards also dealing with a contusion and Antoine Winfield suffering a sprained ankle in Sunday's loss as well, the Buccaneers secondary could be depleted against New Orleans.

  • Six tackles in return

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) posted six tackles (four solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the Rams in Week 9.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting's return from a three-game absence due to a quad injury saw him tie for second on the team in tackles and play a role in keeping the Rams' passing game mostly in check. The tackle tally was also a season high for the fourth-year cornerback, but as long as he's slotting into a rotational role, his overall IDP production will be capped.

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting has been sidelined since suffering a quad injury against the Falcons in Week 5, though he was a full participant in each practice leading up to Sunday's contest. The veteran's return should further help supplement the Buccaneers' secondary, as fellow cornerback Carlton Davis was also ruled active against the Rams.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was a full participant at each practice during Week 9 prep but is still listed as questionable for Sunday. The fourth-year defensive back hasn't played since Week 5, so Tampa Bay will likely be cautious rushing him back into game action.

  • Practices in full capacity

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting has been sidelined since Week 5 while on the mend from a quad injury, but the practice report for Wednesday showed he's nearing a return. Assuming he can piece together a few more practices later in the week, he should be ready to roll Sunday against the Rams.

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting exited Sunday's game against the Falcons due to his quadriceps issue and will be forced to miss at least one additional matchup. Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney are candidates to see increased roles against Pittsburgh.

  • Sits out Wednesday

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) did not participate during the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was forced out during Sunday's win over Atlanta with a hip injury, which kept him sidelined for Tampa Bay's first practice of Week 6. The 25-year-old was used exclusively on special teams over the first three games of the season, though he recorded five tackles and an interception while playing 40 of his 70 total snaps on defense since Week 4. Murphy will now have two more practices to suit up again before this Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

    Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

  • Gets INT in extended action

    Murphy-Bunting recorded three tackles (one solo) and recorded an interception during the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Chiefs during Week 4.

    Analysis: The fourth-year pro, who lost out on a starting cornerback job in a training camp/preseason battle with Jamel Dean, logged his first 22 snaps of the season on defense when Carlton Davis exited with a shoulder stinger. Murphy-Bunting made good use of the opportunity, picking off a pass intended for JuJu Smith-Schuster at the Buccaneers' 33-yard line with 4:58 remaining, a turnover that led to Tampa Bay's final touchdown of the night. Despite the splash play, Murphy-Bunting could be back down to…read more

  • Loses positional battle

    Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Jamel Dean is expected to start over Murphy-Bunting for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Throughout training camp, Murphy-Bunting and Dean competed for a starting role opposite fellow cornerback Carlton Davis. The 2019 second-rounder is still expected to receive rotational snaps in the team's secondary, but he could see an uptick in usage if Dean struggles early on. In 41 career games, Murphy-Bunting accumulated 157 tackles and four interceptions.

  • Still battling for starting role

    Murphy-Bunting remains in a battle with Jamel Dean for the starting left cornerback spot heading into Saturday night's preseason finale against the Colts, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting is already a proven commodity, having tallied 157 tackles, four interceptions, an additional 10 defensed passes, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and even one sack in his first 41 career games. The 2019 second-round pick has a formidable competitor in his draft-class mate Dean, however, as the latter has proven more reliable from a health standpoint and has been even more adept at getting his hands on the ball. Nevertheless, even if Murphy-Bunting happens to lose out on…read more

  • Ready to go for divisional round

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) is active for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Rams.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting didn't play in the wild-card win over the Eagles and was questionable heading into the divisional round. However, the 2019 second-round pick will be available against Matthew Stafford and the Rams' potent passing attack. Murphy-Bunting didn't play in the Week 3 matchup between these two teams due to an elbow injury.

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Rams, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting didn't play in the wild-card win over the Eagles and started the week as a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough. However, he was able to progress to a full participant during Friday's practice, so despite the questionable tag, it appears the 2019 second-round pick is trending toward being available against Matthew Stafford and the Rams' passing attack.

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback was estimated as a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through but was able to log a limited practice Thursday. Murphy-Bunting missed the Buccaneers' wild-card win over the Eagles with a hamstring issue, but his participation Thursday is a step in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest versus the Rams.

  • Could play in divisional round

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) could have a chance to be active during the divisional round of the playoffs, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was inactive for Sunday's wild-card round win over the Eagles, but a decision on his availability did come down to pre-game warmups. He had logged a week straight of limited practices prior to being ruled out for Tampa Bay's playoff opener, so another week of progressing in his recovery could put Murphy-Bunting in proper shape to play.

    Analysis: Though Murphy-Bunting was a limited practice participant throughout the week before being listed as questionable heading into the postseason opener, the cornerback wasn't cleared to play after his hamstring was still bothering him in pregame warmups, according to Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. On a positive note, fellow starting cornerback Carlton Davis (back) avoided the inactive list after being listed as questionable, so Tampa Bay shouldn't be too shorthanded in the…read more

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Eagles.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was limited at practice all week and will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff. The 2019 second-round pick missed a majority of the season with an elbow injury, but he appeared in nine games and registered 43 tackles and three pass deflections during the regular season. If he's unable to suit up, Ross Cockrell and Dee Delaney would likely be in line for increased snaps.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback opened the week with a limited effort on Wednesday and remained a partial participant at Thursday's practice while dealing with a hamstring injury. Murphy-Bunting's ability to at least participate early in the week likely means that he will be available for the Buccaneers' wild-card matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

    Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) was estimated as a limited participant at Wednesday's team walkthrough, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a hamstring issue, but it appears minor considering he was still marked as a limited participant. Murphy-Bunting seems likely to be available for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

    Murphy-Bunting (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and is now active as expected. He'll return to a key role in the Buccaneers' secondary, as he's logged at least five tackles in five of his last six contests.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting and fellow corner Jamel Dean hit the list Tuesday and were activated together Saturday. Neither player traveled with the team but each is able to travel separately to the game against the Jets. Both are listed as questionable ahead of Week 17.

    The Buccaneers have placed Murphy-Bunting on their reseve/COVID-19 list, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting's placement on the COVID list is the result of a positive test. Thus, he will be required to clear the league's health and safety protocols before returning. Ross Cockrell will presumably step in for him at cornerback if he is unable to return for Week 17.

  • Racks up eight stops

    Murphy-Bunting collected eight tackles (seven solo) in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills in Week 14.

    Analysis: The tackle tally was a season high for Murphy-Bunting, who also established a new high-water mark in snaps (75). The third-year cornerback has at least five tackles in each of his last four games, but he's also allowing a career-worst 109.4 quarterback rating in primary coverage and could see his playing time take a hit as soon as the Week 15 divisional clash versus the Saints if Carlton Davis goes back to a starting role and Richard Sherman (Achilles) can suit up.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting dealt with an unspecified injury in Sunday's win over the Falcons, but it doesn't appear as though the issue will impact his Week 14 availability.

    Murphy-Bunting (elbow) compiled seven tackles and forced a fumble Monday in the Buccaneers' 30-10 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Back in action after missing the Bucs' previous eight games with a dislocated elbow, Murphy-Bunting appeared to be in top form in his return. Murphy-Bunting played 57 of the Bucs' 58 defensive snaps in the win, and according to Pro Football Focus, he was the highest-graded Tampa Bay player from either side of the ball.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting will rejoin the active roster ahead of Monday's matchup with the Giants after missing the past eight games with a dislocated elbow. He should immediately step into a significant role given Tampa Bay's continued injury concerns at cornerback.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was cleared to practice in early November, and it appears as though he'll return to game action for Monday night's matchup after missing eight games with a dislocated elbow. Several of the team's cornerbacks are dealing with injuries ahead of the Week 11 matchup, so the 24-year-old should see plenty of work against the Giants.

    Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Murphy-Bunting (elbow) has a chance to play Sunday versus Washington, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting hasn't played since Week 1 due to a dislocated elbow, but it seems he's made good progress since being designated to return to practice Nov. 2. Tampa Bay's secondary has struggled in Murphy-Bunting's absence, but it looks like a return to the field could come as early as Sunday's road matchup against the Football Team.

    Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that Murphy-Bunting (elbow) isn't expected back "anytime soon," Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was placed on injured reserve after dislocating his elbow in Week 1. He's eligible to return this week against the Dolphins, but he is expected to remain sidelined for at least another week. Carlton Davis (quadriceps) is also going to be sidelined for an extended period, and Jamel Dean is still nursing a knee injury, so Richard Sherman and Ross Cockrell will continue to play a large role for Tampa Bay's secondary.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting suffered a dislocated right elbow in Week 1 and has been on injured reserve since then. He's eligible to return as early as Sunday against the Dolphins, but it sounds as though he'll require additional time to fully recover. Ross Cockrell should continue to see additional playing time while Murphy-Bunting is sidelined.

  • May be done for the season

    Coach Bruce Arians said that Murphy-Bunting's (shoulder) timetable to return is "anywhere from four weeks until the end of the season," Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers will seek a second opinion before jumping to conclusions with Murphy-Bunting's injury. The 24-year-old played a critical role for Tampa Bay during their Super Bowl run last year, and his absence will leave a huge hole in the secondary. Ross Cockrell stepped up in Week 1 when Murphy-Bunting went down, and he will likely retain that role moving forward.

    The Buccaneers placed Murphy-Bunting (elbow) on injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting dislocated his right elbow during the season opener and will be forced to miss at least three weeks after landing on IR. The 24-year-old was a key piece for Tampa Bay's postseason run, as he recorded an interception in all three playoff games leading up to the Super Bowl. Ross Cockrell will remain the team's nickel corner in Week 2 against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Arians added that he believes Murphy-Bunting "is going to be alright." We shouldn't read too much into Arians' postgame comments, and we should have a more definitive timeline on Murphy-Bunting's return over the next few days. Murphy-Bunting is expected to miss time regardless, so Ross Cockrell will likely remain as the team's nickel corner in Week 2 against the Falcons.

The television replay displayed a potentially gruesome injury, but further testing will reveal the extent of his injury and the corresponding recovery time. The 2019 second-round pick is a key part of the Buccaneers' secondary. Ross Cockrell is filling in at nickel corner for the time being.

Murphy-Bunting recorded an interception in each of Tampa Bay's first three playoff games, and he posted no fewer than five tackles in each of the last three contests of the title run.

    Murphy-Bunting posted five tackles (all solo), including one for loss, recorded an interception and was credited with an additional defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: The second-year cornerback's standout IDP line underscores the impact he had on the contest, and his interception with 4:25 remaining on a pass intended for Jared Cook essentially sealed the win for the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The second-year defensive back atoned to a significant degree for a disastrous Week 15 matchup against the Falcons during which Calvin Ridley repeatedly victimized him coverage. Murphy-Bunting significantly boosted his rookie-season tackle total of 44 by compiling 70 stops across 16 games in 2020, but he continued to be picked on through the air with notable success for his opponents.

    Analysis: The tackle total was serviceable from an IDP perspective, but Murphy-Bunting was often humbled while trying to keep up with Calvin Ridley, who recorded multiple catches against him. That included the fifth touchdown pass the 2019 second-round pick has given up this season, exceeding his rookie total in that category by one. That's not the only metric that's risen unfavorably for Murphy-Bunting in 2020, as he's also seen his completion percentage allowed in primary coverage bump up from 2019's…read more

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting was the leading tackler for the Buccaneers on Monday, bringing his season total to 47 (33 solo). It was the second-year corner's highest single-game tackle count of his career. He'll look to keep up the high level of play Sunday against the Chiefs.

It's unclear how serious his current injury is, but the second-year cornerback played just 36 percent of the team's defensive snaps in this past Sunday's loss to the Saints.

However, Murphy-Bunting was briefly at the other end of the spectrum later in the period, as he allowed Golden Tate to get behind him with 28 seconds remaining and make a leaping 19-yard touchdown grab that brought the Giants within two.

    Analysis: The second-year cornerback tied Carlton Davis for the team lead in tackles on his way to a season-high figure in that category. Murphy-Bunting has yet to record an interception after notching three during his rookie 2019 campaign, as he's struggled early on in coverage by allowing an 80.0 percent completion rate and a pair of touchdowns on the 10 passes in which he's been the primary defender.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting may have a serious soft-tissue injury that would force him to miss time, but head coach Bruce Arians is confident that Antoine Winfield can cover the slot in his stead, per Smith. The results of the MRI should be available at some point this week. It's worth keeping an eye on, considering the Buccaneers defense has been one of the top units in the league thus far.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting appeared in all 16 regular-season games as a rookie, compiling 44 tackles (37 solo) and three interceptions, though he left the season finale against Atlanta prematurely with an ankle injury. The Buccaneers will now rely on a healthy Murphy-Bunting to serve as a leader in the secondary heading into Year 2. The 23-year-old will look to take a step forward in his development while competing in a division that contains the likes of Julio Jones, Michael Thomas and D.J. Moore.

Murphy-Bunting's first NFL season will end with 44 tackles (37 solo) and three interceptions while he played in all 16 games. For the remainder of Week 17, however, look for Jamel Dean and M.J.

  • Another impact play Week 16

    Murphy-Bunting totaled four solo tackles, including a sack, and was also credited with a pass break-up in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

    Analysis: Six days after recording the first pick-six of his career, Murphy-Bunting followed it up by getting to the quarterback for the first time as a pro. The rookie has allowed an elevated 64.2 percent completion rate and four touchdowns on the 53 attempts he's faced as a primary defender this season, but his 42 tackles, trio of interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble give him some IDP relevancy as he wraps up 2019 in a starting cornerback role against the Falcons in Week 17.

    Murphy-Bunting recorded eight solo tackles, one defended pass and one interception which he returned for a 70-yard touchdown during Sunday's 38-17 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Murphy-Bunting's first career pick-six came with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, as he made an athletic move to cut under the route of Danny Amendola and intercept Lions signal-caller David Blough. The rookie second-round pick's highlight-reel play essentially secured the win for Tampa Bay, and he piled up an impressive eight solo tackles on top of that. He'll look to keep up the momentum against Houston in Week 16.
