GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. won't play in Sunday's NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers because of an ankle injury.
Winfield didn't practice Friday and had been listed as questionable on that day's injury report. This will be the first game the rookie second-round pick from Minnesota has missed all season.
While the Bucs (13-5) will be missing one of their starting defensive backs, the Packers (14-3) had better news regarding their secondary.
Green Bay starting cornerback Kevin King is active for Sunday's game after missing practice Friday with a back injury that had left him questionable.
