The Buccaneers need help at corner with a key starter out.

With the sudden hole in the Buccaneers secondary caused by the unfortunate injury to cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting in the team’s first game of the season last, the Bucs may need to look to the free-agent market to ensure their defense remains strong in his absence.

SMB is a very tough player to lose, and while the Bucs do have some depth players like Jamel Dean and Ross Cockrell to lean out, one more injury could take this unit out of contention.
