Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Will be week-to-week after bye
Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Tristan Wirfs (knee) will be week-to-week after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' bye in Week 11, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.Wirfs underwent an MRI to examine the knee injury he sustained during Sunday's game versus the 49ers, but it fortunately returned as nothing more than a low-grade MCL sprain. If he does miss any game action as he recovers, Justin Skule would likely step into a starting role at one of Tampa Bay's tackle spots.

Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Dealing with possible MCL injury
Tristan Wirfs potentially suffered an injury to his MCL on Sunday, and he'll have an MRI to determine the extent of the issue, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Wirfs has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup against San Francisco, and his initial diagnosis suggests he could miss additional time. However, Rapoport notes that if the MCL injury is confirmed, it would mean that the All-Pro offensive tackle has a "likelihood" of returning this season. That could be huge for a Tampa Bay squad that still has playoff aspirations.

Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: No padded drills Monday
Tristan Wirfs, who is seeking a contract extension, did not participate in padded 11-on-11 drills during Monday's training camp practice so as not to risk injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.The star tackle and head coach Todd Bowles had discussed the matter before the start of practice and mutually agreed it was in Wirfs' best interest to not participate in the session with a deal reportedly close. In Bowles' view, Wirfs' presence in individual drills demonstrates good faith and keeps him mentally involved, and the 2020 first-round pick also fully participated in each of Tampa Bay's first four (non-padded) practices of camp prior to Monday.

Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Attending minicamp
Tristan Wirfs is present Tuesday for the start of June minicamp, Brianna Dix of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports.His presence for the first mandatory practices of the offseason suggests Wirfs isn't holding out, although he could still change his mind before training camp if he doesn't have a long-term contract by then. He's scheduled to play out 2024 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract for $18.2 million, which is well south of the average annual value he figures to eventually get on a multi-year deal. Lions RT Penei Sewell signed a four-year, $112 million extension earlier this offseason, with $85 million in guarantees and $43 million guaranteed at signing. Wirfs likely expects a similar contract and could even make a case for being paid more than Sewell.
