Remains out for Week 13
Morrison (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison practiced in a limited capacity both Wednesday and Thursday but is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. The 2025 second-round pick from Notre Dame has appeared in just seven games this season, recording 13 total tackles and three passes defensed. While he's sidelined in Week 13, Kindle Vildor could have an expanded role as Tampa Bay's top reserve boundary corner.
Nov 26, 2025
Limited practice Wednesday
Morrison (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Morrison was unavailable for the team's 34-7 loss to the Rams in Week 12 due to a hamstring injury. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against Arizona.
Nov 23, 2025
Inactive for Week 12
Morrison (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's night game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison was unable to practice Friday due to a setback with his hamstring injury, and it seems the setback was too great to enable the rookie second-rounder to suit up for primetime action. With starting outside cornerback Jamel Dean (hip) also ruled out, Kindle Vildor is in line to get the start.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Morrison (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to a hamstring injury, and the rookie second-rounder is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. With Jamel Dean (hip) already ruled out, Kindle Vildor would be slated to start at outside corner opposite Zyon McCollum if Morrison is unable to play.
Oct 16, 2025
Full practice Thursday
Morrison (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Morrison missed the Buccaneers' last two games while nursing a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be all set to return to action in Week 7. The 21-year-old will be back in his role as a top depth option behind Jamel Dean and Zyon McCollum at cornerback versus the Lions on Monday Night Football.
Oct 10, 2025
Remains out for Week 6
Morrison (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie corner from Notre Dame opened the Buccaneers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs and is now in line to miss his second game in a row in Week 6 due to a hamstring issue. Morrison has played well in three appearances this season, recording five total tackles and one pass defended. While he remains sidelined Sunday, expect Josh Hayes to start opposite Jamel Dean in Tampa Bay's secondary.
Oct 9, 2025
Remains idle Thursday
Morrison (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-round rookie cornerback missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks and could be looking at a second consecutive absence in Week 6 against San Francisco. Morrison has played in sub-packages on defense when healthy this season.
Oct 8, 2025
Still nursing hamstring injury
Morrison (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-rounder suffered a hamstring injury during Tampa Bay's Week 4 loss to Philadelphia. He hasn't been able to practice since the injury and was ruled out for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Morrison would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity in order to have a shot at playing against the 49ers on Sunday. He has logged five solo tackles and one pass defense through the first three regular-season games of his NFL career.
Oct 3, 2025
Won't suit up against Seahawks
Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Morrison (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison was forced out of the game early in Week 4 versus the Eagles with a hamstring injury, and now he'll be sidelined in Week 5 as he recovers. In his stead, the Buccaneers may need to call on 2023 sixth-rounder Josh Hayes for significant playing time at cornerback Sunday.
Oct 2, 2025
Misses practice Thursday
Morrison (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Morrison has opened the week on the sidelines for both the team's walkthrough Wednesday and their first practice of the week due to a hamstring injury. If he can't return to practice Friday, he'll likely be forced to sit Sunday versus the Seahawks.
Oct 1, 2025
No go for walkthrough
Morrison (hamstring) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Buccaneers' walkthrough Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison sustained a hamstring injury in the team's 31-25 loss to the Eagles in Week 4, recording three solo tackles and a pass defensed over 39 defensive snaps and six snaps on special teams before his departure. The cornerback will have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team travels to face the Seahawks on the road Sunday.
Sep 28, 2025
Nursing hamstring injury
Morrison is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS
Josh Hayes will likely see the field more at corner with Morrison and Jamel Dean (groin) both sidelined. Morrison is unlikely to reenter Sunday's game given that the contest is within the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter.
Sep 15, 2025
Cleared to make NFL debut
Morrison (quadriceps) is active for Monday's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-rounder missed the Bucs' regular-season opener against the Falcons due to a quadriceps injury. Morrison was a full participant in practice all week and has progressed enough in his recovery to make his NFL regular-season debut Monday. Morrison will likely see most of his work on special teams but could work in rotation with Zyon McCollum and Jamel Dean at outside corner.
Sep 13, 2025
Making NFL debut in Week 2?
Morrison (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Texans, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday that he was optimistic Morrison could suit up for the Buccaneers in Week 2, but he's officially listed as questionable. The 2025 second-round pick from Notre Dame appears to be trending toward making his NFL debut Monday night after practicing in full all week. However, if he's unable to go, Josh Hayes figures to serve as Tampa Bay's top reserve outside corner.
Sep 12, 2025
Logs full practice Friday
Morrison (quadriceps) was a full participant at practice Friday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, coach Todd Bowles expressed optimism Thursday that Morrison would be available to suit up in Week 2. If he can manage another full practice Saturday, he may avoid carrying an injury designation into Monday's game at Houston entirely.
Sep 5, 2025
NFL debut on hold
Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday that Morrison (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison was limited all week in practice due to a quadriceps injury, and it now appears he won't play through the issue in Week 1. The 2025 second-round pick's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will come in the Buccaneers' Week 2 matchup in Houston, likely serving as one of Tampa Bay's top rotational cornerbacks if healthy.
Sep 4, 2025
Limited again Thursday
Morrison (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison continues to work through a quadriceps injury that has limited his participation in each of the first two practices of the week. A full practice Friday would allow the rookie second-rounder to fade an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons, but even a limited session would give him a good chance at making his NFL regular-season debut. Morrison is expected to serve in a rotational role at corner with Jamel Dean, Zyon McCollum and Jacob Parrish.
Sep 3, 2025
Limited practice Wednesday
Morrison (quadriceps) was a limited participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison was able to return to practice Wednesday after missing the entirety of the preseason with a hamstring injury, but he is now dealing with an apparent quadriceps issue ahead of Week 1. The cornerback will have two more chances to log a full practice this week before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons.
Sep 2, 2025
Could practice Wednesday
Morrison, who's been sidelined with a hamstring injury that caused him to sit out the entire preseason, could return to practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports. "He is still up for grabs right now," said head coach Todd Bowles. "There is a possibility that he could come back on Wednesday, but we will see. He has been moving."
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick had also dealt with injury concerns related to his shoulder and hip during his final college season, but he'd been healthy to begin training camp and was already impressing. However, the early-August hamstring injury has lingered for nearly a month, although if he's able to jump back into practice Wednesday, Morrison could have a chance to log at least a limited allotment of snaps in Week 1 against the Falcons on Sunday.
Aug 6, 2025
Not practicing
Morrison (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morrison tweaked his hamstring at practice Tuesday, causing him to be sidelined Wednesday. The injury bug has been following him around as the 2025 second-round pick had season-ending hip surgery last year at Notre Dame. He has been standing out in training camp so far and has a real shot to play a valuable rotational role in the Buccaneers' secondary this season.
Jul 31, 2025
Ready for camp
Morrison (hip) participated in training camp Wednesday, Caleb Skinner of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Heading into his first NFL season, Morrison hit the field at training camp for the first time Wednesday. The 2025 second-round pick out of Notre Dame missed the back half of his final college season due to the injury, and it is believed he may have slipped out of the first round because of it. He turned heads during his first practice and has a real shot to play a significant role this season.
May 9, 2025
Back at practice
Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters that it was a great sign to see Morrison moving around at practice Friday following his hip surgery last season, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith also noted that the Buccaneers already believed Morrison would be ready for training camp, so any participation in OTAs would be a bonus. The Notre Dame product was considered one of the best corners in the 2025 NFL Draft but fell to the second round due to injury concerns. He started all 31 games he played over his three years in college, recording 18 passes defended, including nine interceptions. Now nearing full health again, Morrison is expected to compete for one of Tampa Bay's top outside cornerback spots this summer.

Buccaneers add talented corner
The Buccaneers selected Morrison in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 53rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Morrison (6-feet, 193 pounds) was a starter for all three of his seasons at Notre Dame, including a true freshman season where he intercepted six passes. A hip injury ended Morrison's 2024 season after six games, but it's not believed to be a long-term concern. Players who start as freshmen at schools as big as Notre Dame usually have a place in the NFL, and freshmen who produce like Morrison almost always do. Morrison should give the Buccaneers a potential long-term replacement for Jamel Dean.
