View AllCalijah Kancey Injury Takes Key Pass Rusher Out of Bucs Lineup
Buccaneers DT Calijah Kancey tore his left pectoral muscle in Monday night's win over Houston, according to multiple reports. He'll have surgery Friday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, and miss the rest of the season.
Antoine Winfield Jr. Returns
Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. is active for today's game against the Saints. He has been out since suffering a high ankle sprain late in Week 1. S Jordan Whitehead (groin) and DT Calijah Kancey (calf) are also active. It'll be Kancey's first appearance of the season.
Silver Lining to Antoine Winfield Jr.'s Week 5?
The Buccaneers have ruled out S Antoine Winfield Jr. for Thursday night's game against the Falcons. It'll mark his fourth straight missed game following an ankle sprain late in Week 1. But Winfield did put in a limited practice Wednesday, his first participation since the injury. We'll see if the 10 days between that Week 5 contest and the Week 6 visit to New Orleans gives Winfield enough time to return. Reports initially said the team expected Winfield to miss "at least" two weeks. That the Bucs didn't put Winfield on IR, though, pointed to their hope that he'd return inside four games. DT Calijah Kancey (calf) has also been ruled out for Week 5. He has yet to play this season because of that injury and didn't practice at all this week.
