Culp played one of the Buccaneers' 82 snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens. With Payne Durham (calf) sitting out the Week 7 contest, Culp got the chance to make his NFL debut as the No. 3 tight end behind Cade Otton and Ko Kieft. Otton (80 snaps) dominated the playing time, leaving few snaps left over for either Culp or Kieft (six snaps). Culp will likely return to the inactive list Week 8 against the Falcons if Durham is able to play.

Inactive Sunday
Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Culp, a seventh-round pick in the 2024 Draft, is listed as the fourth and last tight end on Tampa Bay's depth chart. The Washington product caught 16 passes for 208 yards during his final collegiate season in 2023.
Returns after halftime
Culp (head) returned to Saturday's game against the Bengals, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Culp was evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half, but he appears to have passed the test and is back on the field for the third quarter. The rookie seventh-round draft pick is competing with Payne Durham and Ko Kieft for a backup tight end role behind starter Cade Otton.
Leaves with head injury
Culp exited Saturday night's preseason game against the Bengals with a head injury and is being evaluated for a concussion, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. At the time of his exit, Culp led the Bucs with four first-half targets in the passing game, but he caught just one for six yards. Culp was a seventh-round pick out of Washington back in April and is vying for a job behind Cade Otton in Tampa Bay.
