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.

Deemed questionable for Sunday
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.

Limited practice Thursday
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.

Not playing in playoff opener
Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles.
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.

Limited at walkthrough
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.

Set to face Jets
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.

Murphy-Bunting was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
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.

Lands on COVID list
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.

Not listed on injury report
Murphy-Bunting (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
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. He's totaled 18 tackles (13 solo), two pass defenses and a forced fumble across three appearances since returning to the field in Week 11.

Solid showing in return
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. The 24-year-old's return was a major boon for a Buccaneers secondary that still has two other key cornerbacks in Carlton Davis (quadriceps) and Richard Sherman (calf) on injured…read more

Back from injured reserve
Murphy-Bunting (elbow) was activated from injured reserve Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
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.

Expected to return Monday
Murphy-Bunting (elbow) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
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.

May play Sunday
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.

Murphy-Bunting (elbow) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old has been inactive since getting injured in the Buccaneers' first game of the season versus the Cowboys on Sept. 13. The team will have 21 days to either activate the cornerback or place him back on the IR and end his season. Murphy-Bunting said Sunday that he is eyeing a return for Week 10 versus Washington.

Not expected back 'anytime soon'
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.

Making progress in recovery
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Murphy-Bunting (elbow) is making progress in his recovery but is still "a ways" away from returning, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
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.

Lands on IR
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.

Suffers dislocated elbow
Head coach Bruce Arians said Murphy-Bunting suffered a dislocated elbow during Thursday's 31-29 win over the Cowboys, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
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.

Out with elbow injury
Murphy-Bunting (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Murphy-Bunting's arm was caught up between two other players while in coverage late in the first quarter. 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.

Six tackles in SB LV win
Murphy-Bunting recorded six tackles (three solo) and was credited with a defended pass during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Analysis: The second-year cornerback finished second on the night in tackles for the Buccaneers, capping off a strong postseason run. 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.

Steps to forefront in win
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.

Strong conclusion to second season
Murphy-Bunting recorded six tackles (five solo) including one for loss, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 44-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
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. After giving up a 64.8 percent completion rate and four touchdowns in primary coverage as a rookie,…read more

Struggles in coverage during win
Murphy-Bunting posted five tackles (four solo) in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
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

Murphy-Bunting recorded 10 tackles (five solo) across 58 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Rams.
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.

Operates as limited participant
Murphy-Bunting (groin) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Murphy-Bunting dealt with a groin injury through the first few weeks of the season, but he never missed a game and hasn't been on the injury report since Week 4. 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.

Rollercoaster night in Week 8 win
Murphy-Bunting supplied six tackles (three solo) and recorded an interception in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.
Analysis: The second-year cornerback's early fourth-quarter interception was key, as it came at the Buccaneers' 34-yard line with New York trying to expand a 17-15 lead. 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. Although Tampa Bay would ultimately escape with the win, the momentary lapse threatened to make…read more

Racks up tackles in loss
Murphy-Bunting posted seven tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
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.

Murphy-Bunting (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing in full Friday.

Murphy-Bunting (groin/hamstring) will undergo an MRI after leaving early in Sunday's win over the Broncos, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
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 was initially listed as doubtful due to groin and hamstring injuries, and he'll now officially have to wait until Week 4 to make a potential return.

Ready for Year 2
Murphy-Bunting (ankle) enters his second year in the league locked in as one of Tampa Bay's starting cornerbacks, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
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. Stewart to see an uptick in snaps.

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.

Grabs first pick-six of career
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.

Murphy-Bunting (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
