The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. for at least two weeks due to an ankle/foot injury sustained during their Week 1 victory over the Washington Commanders. The injury could sideline him for three to four weeks. Additionally, starting cornerback Zyon McCollum is in concussion protocol, and reserve cornerbacks Bryce Hall and Josh Hayes have suffered injuries, leaving the Bucs with a depleted secondary.
- The Buccaneers' secondary is significantly weakened with multiple injuries.
- Antoine Winfield Jr.'s absence will be felt, as he is a key player in their defense.
- The team may need to rely on inexperienced players to fill in the gaps.
