Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. sustained a sprained knee Sunday that will sideline him for multiple games, head coach Todd Bowles said Monday.
Winfield was injured in the second quarter of Sunday’s 28-13 win over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. He exited the game two plays later and did not return. Winfield missed four games earlier this season with an ankle and foot sprain sustained in Week 1.
Winfield, 26, has 60 tackles, three passes defensed, two sacks and a fumble recovery for touchdown in nine starts. He was named All-Pro in 2023 and earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2021.
He has 17 career sacks and seven interceptions in 68 games (all starts) since being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft.
The 7-6 Bucs climbed into first place in the NFC South with Sunday’s win and visit the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15.
