The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released their initial injury report Monday ahead of Thursday night’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, and the biggest news involves star safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. Winfi
Yahoo Sports · October 6, 2026

Winfield did not participate due to a rib injury suffered late in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Todd Bowles revealed Monday that Winfield suffered a slight rib fracture and is expected to miss two-to-four weeks, dealing another significant blow to an already banged-up Buccaneers roster.
Winfield has recorded 24 tackles through Tampa Bay's first four games and remains one of the most versatile and important pieces of Bowles' defense. His absence will begin Thursday against Dallas and could potentially keep him sidelined for several additional games depending on his recovery.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield also remained out with his dislocated right thumb, while cornerback Benjamin Morrison and linebacker SirVocea Dennis were non-participants. Rookie linebacker Josiah Trotter was limited with a knee injury, while first-round pick Rueben Bain Jr. was estimated as a full participant despite groin and shoulder injuries.
