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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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 work to be ready Week 15 against the 49ers. In his absence, Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney may see increased opportunities.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

EDGE 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.

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.
