ANTOINE WINFIELD JR. NEWS

On track for return Winfield (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Impact Winfield was forced to miss the team's last two games while in concussion protocol. His full participation in practice indicates he's nearing a return, though it's unclear if he has already cleared the required medical checks. If Winfield is able to play in Week 7 against Chicago, he would provide a big boost to a Buccaneers' secondary that is riddled with injuries.

Sitting out against Dolphins Winfield (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield's absence isn't unexpected considering coach Bruce Arians said earlier in the week that the second-year safety was unlikely to clear concussion protocols in time to suit up for the intra-Floridian clash. With a short week before Thursday's trip to Philadelphia, Winfield will be fighting an uphill battle as he looks to avoid a second consecutive absence in Week 6.

Impact Winfield totaled seven tackles (five solo), one interception, one pass deflection and one forced fumble before leaving Sunday night's game with a concussion. The 23-year-old safety has become a star in the NFL during his short time in the league, so his absence would be a huge blow to Tampa Bay's defense. If Winfield is unavailable for Week 5, then Andrew Adams or Mike Edwards would likely see an increased workload.

Evaluated for concussion Winfield is being evaluated for a concussion Sunday against the Patriots.

Impact Winfield will need to pass the evaluation in order to return to the game, so his return can be considered questionable at this time. If he fails to come back in against New England, Winfield will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's able to suit up again.

Solid tackle tally in loss Winfield furnished six tackles (all solo) in the Buccaneers' 34-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact The second-year safety tied Lavonte David for second on the team in tackles behind Devin White. Winfield has quickly racked up 18 total stops through the first three games, and although he's only notched one pass breakup as his only other defensive stat, he's allowing just a 42.3 percent completion rate and tiny 3.9 YPA on the seven throws he's faced as a primary defender.

Racks up tackles Week 1 Winfield totaled eight tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 31-29 victory over the Cowboys in Week 1.

Impact The second-year safety was fourth on the team in tackles for the night, starting what is expected to be a big second season after a remarkable rookie campaign. Winfield totaled 94 stops, three sacks, an interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery across 16 games in 2020 and should be even more of an IDP asset now that he has some valuable experience in Todd Bowles' aggressive scheme under his belt.
