Getty’s Mike Ehrmann The defending Super Bowl champions are down a starting corner. In the first quarter of the NFL ‘s regular-season opener between the Buccaneers and Cowboys , Tampa Bay cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting suffered an elbow injury and has since been ruled out of the remainder of the Week 1 contest. Murphy-Bunting got his arm caught in between Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb and teammate Antoine Winfield Jr . and went down awkwardly. To make matters worse for the Buccaneers, the play where Murphy-Bunting was injured resulted in a 22-yard touchdown by Lamb, so not only did they lose a starting corner, but they allowed points on the board. The 24-year-old is entering his third season with the Buccaneers. The former second-round pick in 2019 started in 13 of his 16 regular-season games played last season and totaled a career-high 70 tackles while defending three passes and recording one interception. With Murphy-Bunting out, Ross Cockrell entered the game as Tampa Bay’s nickel corner.
