Tyrek Funderburk, an undrafted free agent, is stepping in as a fill-in starting cornerback for the Buccaneers due to injuries in the secondary. His performance will be crucial as he faces Darnell Mooney, who has a favorable matchup against him. Funderburk's PFF perimeter coverage grade of 66.9 places him in the lower tier among cornerbacks, making him a target for opposing wide receivers. With Jamel Dean, the Buccaneers' top cornerback, on injured reserve, Funderburk's role becomes even more significant in Week 8.
