Overview

• Team doctors found additional minor damage during an arthroscopic procedure on July 8, ending Wirfs’ offseason work.
• He had worn a brace through OTAs and minicamp after aggravating the same knee late in the 2024 season.
• His absence breaks up an offensive line that allowed zero sacks and just 13 quarterback pressures last year, the best marks among NFL tackles.
• In-house backups beyond Heck include Luke Goedeke and several young tackles with limited regular-season experience, raising questions about the line’s depth.
• Wirfs signed a five-year, $140.63 million extension in August 2024, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman and anchoring Tampa Bay through 2029.
