Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Bothered by quad injury

Durham missed Wednesday's practice with a quadricep injury.

Durham filled as the Buccaneers' top tight end the past two weeks in place of Cade Otton (knee), who also missed practice Wednesday and thus appears in danger of missing a third straight game Sunday against the Saints. Devin Culp took some of the snaps from Durham in this past Sunday's 48-14 win over the Panthers, catching three passes for 52 yards but apparently suffering a rib injury along the way, as he was limited in Wednesday's practice. Practice reports Thursday and Friday should provide more clarity on Tampa Bay's tight-end room for a crucial Week 18 matchup with New Orleans.
