Overview

• Antoine Winfield Jr. was held out of Wednesday’s practice after reporting hamstring tightness in his lower leg, prompting a cautious approach from the coaching staff.
• Head coach Todd Bowles described the All-Pro safety as “a little sore” but declined to give a specific timeline for his return to the field.
• NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport indicated that there is no indication Winfield will miss the Buccaneers’ Week 1 opener against the Falcons.
• Winfield’s availability remains crucial given his 2023 All-Pro status and his limited nine-game stint last season due to knee and ankle injuries.
• Tampa Bay’s training camp has been marred by other key absences, including Rachaad White (groin), Chris Godwin (PUP list) and Tristan Wirfs (expected to miss season start).
