Questionable
Injury Knee
Est. Return 10/5/2025
Signed a five-year, $140.63 million contract with the Buccaneers in August of 2024.
Expected to miss start of season
Wirfs underwent surgery on his right knee Tuesday and is expected to miss the start of the regular season, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Wirfs dealt with the knee issue last season but missed just one regular-season contest. However, he aggravated the injury this offseason and was spotted wearing a brace during minicamp. The Bucs scheduled a knee scope for Wirfs on Tuesday, but additional minor damage was found during the procedure, according to Stroud, who also notes that Wirfs will likely begin the season on the reserve/PUP list. That would cost Wirfs at least the first four games of the campaign. Charlie Heck is expected to be the next man up at left tackle for Tampa Bay. Losing Wirfs is a big blow to the entire offense, as he's a road-grader in the running game and protects Baker Mayfield's blind side in passing situations.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Wirfs has already validated his selection as the 13th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft with his stellar play at right tackle, earning two Pro Bowl selections and one All-Pro nod as well over his first three seasons. The Iowa product is now taking his talents to the opposite side of the line at left tackle, where he'll have the all-important role of protecting his quarterback's blind side.
