Jeremy Fowler reports that Buccaneers LT Tristan Wirfs is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL after being ruled out on Sunday.
Fowler adds that Wirfs will undergo further testing and an MRI to determine the exact nature and extent of the injury.
Wirfs, 25, was a three-year starter at Iowa and earned first-team All-American honors before the Buccaneers traded up to select him with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
He signed a four-year, $16,228,026 rookie contract that included a $9,362,201 signing bonus. The Buccaneers exercised his fifth-year option which was expected to cost $18,244,000 fully guaranteed for the 2024 season.
In August, the Buccaneers signed Wirfs to a five-year, $140.6 million extension that made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL.
In 2024, Wirfs has appeared in and started all 10 games for the Buccaneers at left tackle.
We will have more news on Wirfs as it becomes available.
