Limited in practice Winfield (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Winfield missed all three practice sessions held last week, so his presence on the field Wednesday in some capacity represents a step in the right direction. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday.

Still bothered by ankle Winfield (ankle) missed a third straight practice Friday.

Impact The Bucs estimate Winfield would be listed as questionable if they had a game this Sunday, while fellow starting safety Jordan Whitehead (shoulder/knee) would be doubtful. Neither participated in practice this week, but they still have a few more chances to get some work in before the Super Bowl.

Defense could be decisive in Super Bowl of dynamic offenses

Suggesting that defense could decide this Super Bowl might seem like heresy

Still not practicing The Buccaneers listed Winfield (ankle) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact Winfield is still in recovery mode after his ankle injury prevented him from playing in last weekend's win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game. Fellow starting safety Jordan Whitehead (shoulder/knee) is also listed as a non-participant on the Buccaneers' injury report, and both players' situations will warrant close monitoring as the Feb. 7 Super Bowl matchup with Kansas City approaches.

Out for NFC Championship Game Winfield (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers.

Impact This is a significant loss for the Buccaneers, as the rookie has been one of the top players on the team's defense this season. Mike Edwards and Jordan Whitehead will operate as the team's starting safeties, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Trending toward playing Winfield (ankle) is on track to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Impact Winfield didn't practice Friday after hurting his ankle during the practice week. There's still no confirmation that he'll suit up Sunday, but it appears the rookie will tough it out. Winfield has been a key piece of the Buccaneers' stellar defense, as he accrued 94 tackles, three sacks and six pass breakups in the regular season.

Clutch play in divisional-round win Winfield recorded six tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact The rookie safety put together another stellar performance, one he made the norm during what was a standout first-year campaign. Winfield checked in third behind linebackers Devin White and Lavonte David in tackles on the evening, and the fumble he forced on Jared Cook at the Buccaneers' 47-yard line was a pivotal turning point, considering it came with Tampa Bay trailing by a 20-13 margin and helped lead to a game-tying touchdown. Winfield has six stops apiece in each of his first two playoff contests, and he'll look to make an impact again versus the Packers' formidable offense in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Six tackles in wild-card win Winfield recorded six tackles (all solo), including two for loss, in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.

Impact The rookie carried over the significant momentum he built up during the regular season right into his first career playoff contest, serving as a force against both the run and pass throughout the game. Winfield checked in fourth in tackles overall, and he figures to play another prominent role in Sunday evening's divisional-round matchup versus the dangerous and diverse Saints offense.
