Buccaneers' Payne Durham: No targets in return
Payne Durham did not see a target during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.Durham logged 11 snaps on offense and another one special teams in his return from a one-game absence due to a calf injury. The 24-year-old has only one reception over his first seven games, and even the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) could spur further involvement for the second-year tight end.

Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Making return Week 8
Payne Durham (calf) is active Sunday for a matchup against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers official site reports.Durham missed Week 7 due to a calf issue, but he was able to log a full practice Friday after beginning the week with a DNP. The tight end entered the weekend deemed questionable for Sunday, but he'll be able to suit up against Atlanta. Durham has only one catch on one target for eight yards through six games in a backup role, but there's a chance he could be utilized more in the passing game with Tampa Bay's top wideouts -- Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) -- both out of action.

Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Sits out practice again
Payne Durham (calf) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.Durham also sat out Wednesday's practice session, and his calf injury forced him to sit out Tampa Bay's loss to the Ravens in Week 7. The depth tight end's status again looks to be in question for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. Ko Kieft and Devin Culp will be in line to again handle increased reserve work behind behind starter Cade Otton at the tight end position if Durham can't go.

Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Makes first catch of season
Payne Durham secured his only target for eight yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.Durham was in on 21 percent of the snaps -- 12 plays total -- which represented a new low over his first three games. However, the second-year pro at least came away with his first reception of the season. Top tight end Cade Otton finally saw his production rise in new coordinator Liam Coen's scheme with a seven-catch outing, but Durham still doesn't have a very bright outlook as his backup considering he's primarily being used in a blocking capacity.

Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Blanked on 17 snaps in win
Payne Durham did not draw a target in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.Durham saw a modest 17 snaps from scrimmage and wasn't afforded any opportunities to touch the ball. However, it was a down game for the Buccaneers' tight ends in general, as Cade Otton saw only two targets in his own right despite playing 52 snaps. Given new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's scheme is expected to frequently deploy tight ends as pass-catching options, Week 1 might ultimately prove to be an outlier. However, Otton is the clear top target at the position, meaning Durham will still be difficult to trust on a game-to-game basis even when he does start getting more involved.

Durham was able to practice for multiple days leading into Friday's contest against the Dolphins, so he should be set to fill his No. 2 tight end role behind Cade Otton without limitations right from the onset of the regular season.
