The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will miss star safety Antoine Winfield Jr. for a few weeks due to a knee sprain sustained during their recent victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Coach Todd Bowles confirmed the injury, which occurred in the second quarter, sidelining Winfield for the remainder of the game.
This injury adds to the Bucs' struggles at the safety position, already affected by Jordan Whitehead's torn pec and Mike Edwards' hamstring issue. Kaevon Merriweather is expected to step up in Winfield's absence.
Despite these challenges, the Buccaneers are currently leading the NFC South after their win and will aim to maintain their position in the upcoming weeks against tough opponents.
