Antoine Winfield Jr. S TB

Antoine Winfield Jr. Returns

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.

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.

Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis (toe) is inactive for today's game against the Titans. Fellow starting CB Jamel Dean, however, has cleared the concussion protocol and will play. D-linemen Calijah Kancey (quad) and Logan Hall (groin) are active after hitting the day questionable.

Buccaneers rookie DT Calijah Kancey is expected to miss four weeks after straining his right calf. That would cost the first-round pick all three preseason games but give him a shot at being ready for the opener. We wouldn't bet on Kancey getting near full playing time early under that scenario. The rookie already sat low in our 2023 IDP rankings. We'll keep an eye on his status upon his return from this injury.

The Buccaneers selected DT Calijah Kancey in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. Kancey enjoyed a highly productive three years at Pittsburgh. He averaged 0.93 tackles for loss per game for his career; 1.32 per game for his final season. Kancey delivered a 99th-percentile 40 time at the Scouting Combine. He’s minuscule for the position by historical standards, though: 6’1, 281 pounds, with 1st-percentile arm length. We’re not betting against the upside, but those measurements make Kancey risky. Playing next to block-eating DT Vita Vea should help. See where we valued Kancey in our pre-draft IDP rookie rankings.
