Devin Culp - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs to practice squad The Browns signed Culp to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Culp last spent time with the Buccaneers, appearing in 13 games during the 2025 season, catching one target for six yards, before ultimately being cut from the team's practice squad ahead of Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. The 26-year-old will add depth to the tight end room with Carsen Ryan (calf) questionable for Week 6.

Cut from Tampa Bay's practice squad The Buccaneers cut Culp from the practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The Buccaneers waived Culp during Sunday's cutdown day. After the tight end cleared waivers Monday, he joined the team's practice squad before ultimately being cut Wednesday. Culp was cut from the practice squad to make room for cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, who won the Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in the 2020 season.

Waived by Tampa Bay The Buccaneers waived Culp on Sunday, Greg Auman reports.

Impact Culp, drafted in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, spent his first two seasons in Tampa Bay, where he caught six passes for 94 yards and one touchdown. The 26-year-old is expected to return to the Buccaneers' practice squad if he isn't claimed by another team.

Limited to special teams in Week 17 Culp played all 13 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact After he was a healthy inactive for the Buccaneers' Week 16 loss to the Saints, Culp suited up as Tampa Bay's third tight end in Week 17, but he didn't see any run on offense behind Cade Otton and Payne Durham. For the season, Culp has recorded one reception -- a six-yard touchdown -- on his lone target in 12 appearances for Tampa Bay.

Looks to be past illness Culp (illness) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's estimated report, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The second-year tight end popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but he appears to be over the issue and is on track to play against the Dolphins on Sunday. He's not been a big part of the Buccaneers' offense this season and was a healthy scratch for Tampa Bay's Week 16 loss to Carolina.

Limited with illness Culp (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Culp seems to have come down with an illness, but his ability to practice even in a limited capacity implies that the tight end should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The 25-year-old will likely upgrade his practice participation later in the week and be cleared ahead of Sunday's game.

Records TD on one catch Culp brought in his only target for a six-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Impact Culp was able to crack the stat sheet for the first time all season, making his one catch count via a six-yard scoring reception just past the midway point of the third quarter. Culp had a solid preseason and entered the 2025 campaign with expectations of a more prominent role behind Cade Otton (knee), but it took the latter's first absence of the season Thursday for Culp to finally get on the board while playing a season-high 20 snaps.

Won't suit up vs. Houston Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The 2024 seventh-rounder managed to make the Bucs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the regular season. It appears Culp is unlikely to be active for gameday unless Cade Otton, Payne Durham or Ko Kieft were to miss time due to injury or illness.

Healthy scratch Week 1 Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact With Cade Otton overcoming a lingering groin injury to play Week 1, Culp will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Payne Durham and Ko Kieft serve in backup roles at tight end. Culp managed to make the Bucs' 53-man roster after a strong training camp, but the 2024 seventh-rounder is unlikely to see much playing time unless Otton, Durham or Kieft were to miss time. Culp's next chance to play is Week 2 against Houston on Monday, Sept. 15.

Could see early-season boost Culp is in line to see increased target opportunities if No. 1 tight end Cade Otton (leg) is sidelined to open the regular season, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Impact Head coach Todd Bowles previously remarked that Otton is expected "to be out a little bit," without further details. However, more information on a projected return timeline is expected during the official Week 1 practice week next week, but Dix notes the Buccaneers will take a "committee approach" at tight end for any games Otton might be sidelined for. Considering No. 3 tight Ko Kieft has all of one reception since the beginning of the 2023 season, such a scenario would leave Culp and Payne Durham as the only legitimate pass-catching options at the position to open the season. That was the case during Weeks 16-18 last season when Otton sat out with a knee injury, a span in which Culp flashed some downfield chops while recording a 5-88 line on six targets. The second-year pro also recorded three first downs on his five preseason receptions this summer, including on a 22-yard grab in the exhibition finale against the Bills on Saturday night.

Three grabs to close out preseason Culp secured all three targets for 33 yards and lost a fumble in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

Impact The athletic tight end played a position-high 20 snaps from scrimmage and made good use of his three targets, but his turnover late in the third quarter came in Bills territory. Nevertheless, Culp appears to be a virtual lock for the 53-man roster as a complementary pass-catching option alongside No. 1 tight end Cade Otton, following a solid training camp and preseason that have earned him accolades from new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • BUFFALOBILLS.COM

Pair of grabs in preseason opener Culp secured two of four targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.

Impact The athletic tight end carried over a bit of the momentum he'd been building during training camp practices, finishing as one of five Bucs players to record multiple catches on the night. Both of Culp's catches came in connection with Kyle Trask and occurred on the final drive of the first half, and given how much new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard has talked up the second-year pro's potential, Culp is likely to see extended opportunity over Tampa Bay's two remaining preseason contests.
