Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Officially ruled out vs. Dallas
The Buccaneers have ruled out Winfield (ribs) for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
Per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, Winfield is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks due to a "slight rib fracture" that he sustained during the Buccaneers' loss to the Packers this past Sunday. It's unclear whether he needs a stint on IR, but for as long as he's sidelined, Ifeatu Melifonwu figures to start alongside Tykee Smith at safety.

Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Likely to miss multiple games
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that Winfield was diagnosed Monday with a "slight rib fracture" and will miss 2-to-4 weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Bowles officially ruled Winfield out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, and the seventh-year safety would seemingly face an uphill battle to make it back for a Week 6 matchup with the Steelers on Oct. 18 after suffering the rib injury in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers. Through Tampa Bay's first four games, Winfield had 24 tackles and one forced fumble. Ifeatu Melifonwu is slated to replace Winfield in the starting lineup Week 5.

Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Suffers injury Sunday
Winfield exited Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers with an abdomen/ribs injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Winfield logged six tackles (five solo) before departing in the fourth quarter, and he did not appear to return before the end of the contest. The 2023 All-Pro has been a significant piece of Tampa Bay's defense for the last seven years, and he recorded 93 tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions, over 16 regular-season games last season. Winfield will have to recover on a short turnaround with the Buccaneers playing on Thursday Night Football against Dallas in Week 5.

Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Another productive season in '25
Winfield registered 93 tackles (53 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight defensed passes, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
It was another season of across-the-board IDP production for the veteran safety, who tied the second-highest snap count of his career (1,034) and got back on the board in the interception column after going without a pick for the first time in his career during an injury-shortened 2024 campaign. Winfield's tackle total was the third highest of his career, while his eight pass breakups were second only to the 12 he compiled in the other 17-game season of his NFL tenure to date, the 2023 campaign. He'll once again slot into the starting strong safety role in 2026 as one of the leaders of a talented Buccaneers defense.
