Head coach Todd Bowles stated Wednesday that Winfield (foot) will be out Thursday against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Winfield hasn't officially practiced with the team or played since suffering the injury in Week 1 against the Commanders. Bowles suggested to Greg Auman of Fox Sports that Winfield may still be a little ways away in his recovery, which means a return in Week 6 may not be guaranteed either.

Winfield (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Winfield was also a DNP for Monday's estimated injury report, and it appears he's trending toward being ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Falcons. The 2020 second-round pick will have one more chance Wednesday to participate in some capacity to give himself a shot at playing Thursday. Christian Izien will continue to serve as the Bucs' starting free safety for as long as Winfield remains sidelined.
Winfield (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation. Tampa Bay's short week doesn't benefit Winfield, who's missed the Buccaneers' last three games with a foot injury. The All-Pro safety will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up in Week 5. If Winfield is held out for the fourth consecutive contest, expect Christian Izien to see more work as the team's top free safety.
Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Winfield (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. The All-Pro safety will miss his third straight game after being injured in the Week 1 opener versus Washington. Jordan Whitehead and Christian Izien will continue to handle safety duties versus Philadelphia. The Bucs then have a short week ahead of a Thursday night date with the Falcons in Week 5.
Winfield (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday. Winfield has missed the last two games due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 1, and it appears he is likely to miss a third consecutive contest. If he's officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Christian Izien will continue to serve as the Bucs' starting free safety alongside strong safety Jordan Whitehead.
Winfield (foot) was working on the side with trainers during practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Winfield has been out of action and not practicing since he suffered the injury in a Week 1 win over the Commanders. His return to the field in any form is a sign the Minnesota product is making progress in his recovery, but as Auman insinuates, he's probably closer to doubtful than questionable for this Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. However, his status for Thursday and Friday will likely bring better clarity there.
Coach Todd Bowles said Winfield (foot) will not play Sunday against the Broncos, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Winfield suffered a foot injury in Week 1 and was given an initial timetable of 3-to-4 weeks, so perhaps a Week 4 return against the Eagles is more doable. Christian Izien and Jordan Whitehead each played all 85 defensive snaps at safety last week against the Lions.
Winfield (foot) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Winfield sustained a foot injury in Week 1 against the Broncos. The injury had an estimated return of 3-to-4 weeks, with two weeks considered a "best-case" scenario, per Laine. Winfield is unlikely to play Week 3 against the Broncos, but the 2020 second-round pick could return to practice in a limited capacity Thursday or Friday.
Winfield (foot) has been ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 2 contest against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. This comes as no surprise, as the fifth-year safety is expected to miss three to four weeks after sustaining a foot injury during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win. Expect Kaevon Merriweather to line up alongside Jordan Whitehead in Tampa Bay's secondary while Winfield remains sidelined.
