As the Buccaneers and Rams prepare for their clash in a must win for both teams, the Bucs are in danger of being without one of their key defensive players for the second straight week.
Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. missed Wednesday’s practice as he remains in concussion protocol after he suffered a concussion in the second half against the Carolina Panthers in week seven. Winfield was third on the team in tackles when he left and was one of the more consistent players in the secondary on a week-to-week basis.
The good news for the Bucs is that cornerbacks Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting both returned to being full participants as the two have been out for multiple games.
