Murphy-Bunting supplied six tackles (three solo) and recorded an interception in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

EDGE 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 Murphy-Bunting's gaffe a critical one. The 23-year-old now has two picks on the campaign, while his six tackles served as his second-highest tally of the season.

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

EDGE 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.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy-Bunting went for an MRI after picking up the injury in last week's win over the Broncos, but the results were encouraging, so he's set to suit up against Los Angeles come Sunday.

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.

EDGE 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.

Murphy-Bunting (groin/hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE 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. In the event that Murphy-Bunting is forced to miss more time, Antoine Winfield will lock down the slot while Mike Edwards takes over at strong safety.

Murphy-Bunting was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Broncos with a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy-Bunting isn't expected to return Sunday. Antoine Winfield is slated to cover the slot for the time being, which will open the door for Mike Edwards to operate at strong safety. Expect an update on Murphy-Bunting when the Buccaneers release an injury report Wednesday.

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.

EDGE 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 once again be relying 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 facing a division that contains the likes of Julio Jones, Michael Thomas and D.J. Moore.

Murphy-Bunting (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how the 22-year-old suffered the injury, but the fact that he was immediately downgraded to out is a negative sign. 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.

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.

EDGE 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 and one sack and forced fumble apiece give 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.

EDGE 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 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.
