The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a second half dogfight with the Las Vegas Raiders in Tampa, with the Bucs leading 14-10.
Unfortunately, they're going to have to find a way to finish over a suddenly competent 2-10 Raiders team without one of their best players.
Safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. suffered a knee injury and is out for the remainder of the game.
Winfield, Jr. suffered the injury during the second quarter of the game. The options behind him are very thin at the moment. Jordan Whitehead is on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, while Mike Edwards is out Sunday with a hamstring injury. Kaevon Merriweather and nickel corner/safety Christian Izien are the remaining options.
Winfield, Jr. missed four games with an ankle/foot injury that he suffered in the season opener against the Washington Commanders. We'll find out after the game just how serious the talented defender's injury is this time around.
The Bucs lead the Raiders 14-10 in the fourth quarter.
