Antoine Winfield Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out for Sunday Winfield (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Winfield suffered a knee injury against the Raiders in Week 14, and head coach Todd Bowles said he would be missing multiple weeks. The fifth-year safety will now miss back-to-back matchups, and it's unknown whether he'll be able to return for Week 17 versus Carolina.

DNP to open week Winfield (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact A lengthy absence for the Pro Bowl safety was expected after suffering a knee injury during the Buccaneers' Week 14 win over the Raiders. Unless he returns to practice this week, it appears unlikely that Winfield would be able to play against the Cowboys on Sunday. Kaevon Merriweather and Christian Izien (groin) would be slated to serve as the Bucs' starting safeties if both Winfield and Mike Edwards (hamstring) were to be sidelined.

Impact Winfield was set to undergo an MRI on Monday, but it's unclear if this diagnosis came before or after the imaging. Any extended absence for the veteran safety would be a significant blow to Tampa Bay's secondary during the final stretch of the season, as they work to try and win their division and secure a playoff spot.

Undergoing MRI on Monday Winfield will undergo an MRI on the knee he injured during Sunday's 28-13 win over the Raiders, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The MRI will provide clarity on Winfield's status for the tail end of the 2024 regular season, starting with Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15. The Buccaneers are dealing with several injuries in the secondary including Josh Hayes (hamstring), Bryce Hall (ankle), Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Jordan Whitehead (pectoral). Kaevon Merriweather -- who tied Lavonte David for a team-high seven tackles Monday -- would be the next man up at free safety if Winfield were to miss time.

Won't return Sunday vs. Vegas Winfield (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Gets to quarterback Sunday Winfield recorded six tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-7 win at the Giants.

Impact Winfield tallied his second sack of the season in Week 12, though it came on a third down late in the fourth quarter with the game already well in hand for the Buccaneers. He projects as a solid IDP option in most formats going into a Week 13 matchup at Carolina.

Eight tackles in Week 10 Winfield logged eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Winfield has registered at least seven tackles in four straight regular-season games, and he is well past a foot injury that sidelined him from Week 2 through 5. He's up to 48 tackles (25 solo), two pass defenses and one fumble recovery for a touchdown across six regular-season games.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Bucs' leading tackler in loss Winfield recorded 12 tackles (five solo) during Monday's 30-24 overtime loss at Kansas City.

Impact Winfield played a remarkable 82 defensive snaps Monday, his most in a single game this year by a healthy margin, and he somewhat predictably earned a season-high tackle total as well. He projects as a good IDP option in most formats heading into a Week 10 matchup versus the 49ers.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Active Monday night Winfield is active for Monday Night Football against the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The starting free safety injured his foot during Friday's practice and missed Saturday's session, but the injury was never believed to be serious, as Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said he still expected Winfield to play Monday night, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. Winfield has 28 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery in four games this season.

Officially listed as questionable Winfield (foot) did not practice Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Kansas City, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield picked up a foot injury during Friday's practice, which prevented him from participating in Saturday's session. Despite the DNP, head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Saturday that Winfield will be able to play Monday, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. If Winfield is ruled out or is limited Monday, Christian Izien would be the top candidate to start at free safety alongside strong safety Jordan Whitehead.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Should be good for Monday Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Saturday that Winfield (foot) will be good to go for Monday's game against the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Winfield injured his foot during Friday's practice, and while it's unclear whether it's the same foot that caused him to miss four regular-season games, it doesn't appear serious enough for him to be held out of Monday's contest. Across his last three games since returning from injury, Winfield has logged 21 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Winfield's seven stops Sunday brought his season total up to 28 tackles through four appearances. The All-Pro from Minnesota is expected to continue making plays as one of the best safeties in the NFL as the season progresses.

Impact Winfield was a limited participant in Thursday's practice following his first game back from a foot injury.

Expect Winfield to suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Ravens, barring any setbacks.

Limited Thursday Winfield was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to foot injury.

Impact Winfield presumably picked up the injury in Sunday's blowout win over the Saints. He scored a touchdown in the contest via a fumble recovery, while also producing four solo tackles. The starting free safety's status for Monday's matchup with the Chargers will become clearer as the week progresses, but Christian Izien (elbow) would be next in line should Winfield's status worsen.

Impact Winfield saw his first action since Week 1, as he missed four weeks due to a sprained foot. The star safety logged a modest four tackles Sunday, but he still made a big impact by recovering a first-quarter Saints fumble for a 58-yard touchdown. That was Winfield's first career TD in his fifth NFL season.
