Tristan Wirfs: Everything you need to know

Wirfs (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Panthers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. The All-Pro tackle from Iowa upgraded from a DNP on Tuesday to limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, suggesting he's moved past his toe injury in time to play in Saturday's must-win divisional contest. Now fully healthy, expect Wirfs to operate as Tampa Bay's top left tackle in Week 18.

Wirfs (toe) practiced in limited fashion Wednesday. Wirfs was held out of the Buccaneers' Week 17 loss and then was estimated to have not practiced Tuesday. However, he took a step forward Wednesday and seemingly has a chance to return for Tampa Bay's pivotal Week 18 matchup against the Panthers.

Wirfs (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Wirfs likely sustained a toe injury in the Buccaneers' Week 16 loss to the Panthers and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. Expect Benjamin Chukwuma to start at left tackle in Wirfs' stead Week 17.
