Buccaneers’ All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs sprained an ankle in the wild-card round and is out for Sunday’s game, while center Ryan Jensen, who also injured an ankle, is expected to play. Protection up front could be a concern against a Rams’ defensive front that is notoriously good at winning battles at the line of scrimmage. Backup offensive tackle Josh Wells will step in at right tackle in Wirfs’s place.
Leonard Fournette, the Buccaneers’ leading rusher, was placed on the team’s injured reserve list after injuring a hamstring against the Saints on Dec. 19 but was activated ahead of the game.
