TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers starting cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting was placed on injured reserve and be sidelined for at least three weeks, the team announced Monday.
Murphy-Bunting, who led the Bucs with three interceptions in four postseason games last year, suffered a dislocated right elbow Thursday night trying to make a tackle in the Bucs' 31-29 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Murphy-Bunting got his elbow caught between Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
X-Rays taken after he left the game revealed no structural damage but a second MRI on Monday provided a clearer picture, a source said.
