Agrees to restructured deal Winfield agreed to a restructured contract Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Winfield converted the vast majority of his $21 million salary into a signing bonus, creating more than $15.8 million in cap space for the Bucs. Winfield appeared in just nine regular-season games last season due to injuries, finishing with 60 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a 58-yard touchdown. Winfield is under contract through 2027.

Solid in injury-shortened year Winfield (knee) provided 60 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown across nine regular-season games in 2024...

Impact Winfield missed Weeks 2-5 and the last four games of the regular season due to calf and knee injuries, respectively, leading to a career-low number of games played. The large swaths of missed time naturally had a ripple effect on all of Winfield's stats, leading to a career low in tackles and the first interception-less campaign of his accomplished five-year career. Winfield also tied career lows in sacks and defensed passes, and although he failed to force a fumble for the first time as well, the fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown against the Saints in a lopsided Week 6 win marked his first ever trip to the end zone. Winfield was able to suit up for the Buccaneers' wild-card loss to the Commanders and recorded seven tackles across 69 snaps, and he should therefore be ready for all offseason activities and training camp as he approaches the second season of a four-year contract extension he signed prior to the 2024 campaign.

Active for wild-card round Winfield (knee) is active for Sunday night's wild-card game against the Commanders.

Impact Winfield will return to action Sunday after missing the team's final four games of the regular season with a knee injury. The safety will be a valuable addition to Tampa Bay's secondary versus the impressive passing attack of Washington.

Questionable for wild-card round Winfield (knee) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's home NFC wild-card round game against the Commanders.

Impact Winfield's knee injury forced him to miss the Buccaneers' final four games of the regular season, but he's now logged three consecutive full practice sessions. The standout safety appears to be trending in the right direction to suit up for Sunday's playoff game, and official word on his status will arrive no later than the wild-card contest's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Returns to full session Winfield (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Winfield missed the final four games of the regular season but had been practicing in limited fashion last week. His return as a full participant suggests the 26-year-old should be cleared to return Sunday against the Commanders, which would be a major boon for the Buccaneers' secondary.

Impact Winfield missed the last four games of the regular season with a knee issue, but his coach's comments suggest he has a good chance to come back for the first round of the playoffs. His status will be more clear after the Buccaneers release their second official practice report of the week Thursday.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus New Orleans Winfield (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Winfield will miss his fourth straight game and eighth of the season. Jordan Whitehead, Mike Edwards and Kaevon Merriweather handled safety duties for Tampa Bay last week and should do so again versus New Orleans.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Winfield (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Prior to Thursday's session, Winfield had been unable to practice or play due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 14 against Las Vegas. His return to practice as a limited participant indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and Friday's injury report will indicate whether Winfield has done enough to play in Sunday's must-win game against the Saints.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Winfield has been unable to practice or play since suffering a knee injury against the Raiders in Week 14. Winfield is likely to be sidelined for the Bucs' regular-season finale against the Saints on Sunday unless he returns to practice -- in at least a limited capacity -- over the next two days.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 17 Winfield (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Winfield has been sidelined since going down with the knee injury in Week 14 against the Raiders. Kaevon Merriweather has been starting in Winfield's place on the back end of Tampa Bay's defense. Merriweather, however, has been dealing with a knee issue of his own.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed DNP on Wednesday Winfield (knee) was estimated as a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Winfield hurt his knee Week 14 against Las Vegas and hasn't played since. Though his DNP on Wednesday was an estimation, the star safety is very questionable to suit up Sunday versus Carolina. Kaevon Merriweather has been staring in Winfield's stead, though Merriweather is also currently dealing with a knee injury.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.
