Makes seven stops vs. Atlanta Winfield recorded seven total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Tampa Bay's top free safety has now played 100-percent of the team's defensive snaps in back-to-back weeks since returning from a foot injury in Week 6. 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.

Leads Bucs with 10 tackles Monday Winfield logged 10 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

Impact In his second game back from a foot injury, Winfield played every single defensive snap Monday. In addition to leading the Buccaneers with 10 tackles, he also managed to log his first sack of the season after taking down Lamar Jackson for a nine-yard loss midway through the first quarter, which forced the Ravens to punt on the next play. Winfield has logged 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across his last two outings.

Practices in full Winfield (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Winfield was a limited participant in Thursday's practice following his first game back from a foot injury. However, the All-Pro safety upgraded to full participation Friday and now appears to have moved past the issue. 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.

Scores touchdown in return Winfield totaled four tackles (all solo), defensed a pass and returned a fumble for a touchdown in a 51-27 Week 6 win against New Orleans.

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.

Back in action in Week 6 Winfield (foot) is listed as active Sunday in New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield has been sidelined since Week 1 due to a sprained foot, but after managing limited sessions Wednesday through Friday and entering the weekend as questionable, he'll be back in the lineup along with fellow starting safety Jordan Whitehead (groin). In 60 career contests, Winfield has averaged 6.5 tackles per game, tallied 15.0 sacks and recorded seven interceptions, making him an IDP stalwart in the Buccaneers defense.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return in Week 6 Winfield (foot) is likely to suit up Sunday versus New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Winfield hasn't played since Week 1, as a sprained foot has kept him out of action the past four weeks. However, the talented safety appears set to return Sunday following a trio of limited practices during Week 6 prep. Winfield and the Bucs will be facing off against Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is being called upon for his first NFL action due to Derek Carr being sidelined with an oblique injury.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could play in Week 6 Winfield (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Winfield hasn't played since sustaining a foot injury in the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Commanders. However, he's got a chance to return Sunday after a week of limited practice sessions. If Winfield isn't able to make his return in Week 6, expect Kaevon Merriweather to serve as Tampa Bay's top strong safety.

Returns to practice Wednesdy Winfield (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.

Impact Prior to Wednesday's session, Winfield hadn't participated in practice or played in a game since Week 1 against the Commanders due to a foot injury. It's a step in the right direction for the 2020 second-round pick, but Winfield will need to continue to see the field this week if he wants to return for Sunday's NFC South clash against the Steelers.

Missing another week Head coach Todd Bowles stated Winfield (foot) will be out Thursday against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield hasn't officially practiced with the team or played since suffering the injury in Week 1 against the Commanders. Bowles suggested to Greg Auman of Fox Sports that Winfield may still be a little ways away in his recovery, which means a return in Week 6 may not be guaranteed either.

DNP on Tuesday Winfield (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield was also a DNP for Monday's estimated injury report, and it appears he's trending towards being ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Falcons. The 2020 second-round pick will have one more chance Wednesday to participate in some capacity to give himself a shot at playing Thursday. Christian Izien will continue to serve as the Bucs' starting free safety for as long as Winfield remains sidelined.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP on Monday's estimation Winfield (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.

Impact Tampa Bay's short week doesn't benefit Winfield, who's missed the Buccaneers' last three games with a foot injury. The All-Pro safety will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up in Week 5. If Winfield is held out for the fourth consecutive contest, expect Christian Izien to see more work as the team's top free safety.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again for Week 4 Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Winfield (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The All-Pro safety will miss his third straight game after being injured in the Week 1 opener versus Washington. Jordan Whitehead and Christian Izien will continue to handle safety duties versus Philadelphia. The Bucs then have a short week ahead of a Thursday night date with the Falcons in Week 5.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Winfield (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact Winfield has missed the last two games due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 1, and it appears he is likely to miss a third consecutive contest. If he's officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Christian Izien will continue to serve as the Bucs' starting free safety alongside strong safety Jordan Whitehead.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on field Winfield (foot) was working on the side with trainers during practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Winfield has been out of action and not practicing since he suffered the injury in a Week 1 win over the Commanders. His return to the field in any form is a sign the Minnesota product is making progress in his recovery, but as Auman insinuates, he's probably closer to doubtful than questionable for this Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. However, his status for Thursday and Friday will likely bring better clarity there.

Will miss Week 3 Coach Todd Bowles said Winfield (foot) will not play Sunday against the Broncos, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield suffered a foot injury in Week 1 and was given an initial timetable of 3-to-4 weeks, so perhaps a Week 4 return against the Eagles is more doable. Christian Izien and Jordan Whitehead each played all 85 defensive snaps at safety last week against the Lions.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Winfield (foot) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Winfield sustained a foot injury in Week 1 against the Broncos. The injury had an estimated return of 3-to-4 weeks, with two weeks considered a "best-case" scenario, per Laine. Winfield is unlikely to play Week 3 against the Broncos, but the 2020 second-round pick could return to practice in a limited capacity Thursday or Friday.
