Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield Jr. and Jamel Dean Cleared for NFC Wild-Card Game

The Tampa Bay secondary regains key starters as they prepare to face the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

  • Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. will return after missing four games due to a knee injury, practicing without limitations this week.
  • Cornerback Jamel Dean, who missed Week 18 with a knee injury, is also set to play, bolstering the Buccaneers' defensive lineup.
  • Winfield recorded 60 tackles, two sacks, and a fumble return touchdown in nine games this season, while Dean allowed only one touchdown in pass coverage.
  • Tight end Cade Otton, who has been sidelined for three weeks, is progressing but remains uncertain for Sunday’s game.
  • Otton's contributions include 600 receiving yards and four touchdowns this season, making him a key offensive player if active.
