The injury to Sean Murphy-Bunting on Thursday night certainly looked gruesome but it won’t be season ending. However, Murphy-Bunting is still going to miss some time which should come as no surprise. Murphy-Bunting - and long snapper Zach Triner - were placed on the injured reserve list Monday afternoon meaning they will each miss at least three games.
In Triner’s case, he’s looking at being out for ten to twelve weeks with a torn tendon in his finger. The special teamer made ten snaps on Thursday night with the injury and the Bucs will now look elsewhere for their long snapper.
