Antoine Winfield Jr. is not on the Buccaneers’ official injury report that came out today, but he sort of issued his own personal injury report.

Winfield talked to media after Bucs players had their first non-walk-through practice since the team’s six-day vacation known as the bye week.

Asked about time off and his previously injured foot, Winfield interestingly noted that he babied that foot during the bye.

“The bye week helped. You know, stayed off my foot as much as possible and I’m ready to rock and roll,” Winfield said.

In the days leading up to the Bucs-49ers game 10 days ago, Winfield was not on the official injury report.

He then missed multiple tackles against San Francisco and did not look much like the All-Pro safety he was in 2023. That led Joe to say many times that Winfield has to be hurt regardless of what the injury report says.

So is Winfield really healthy now? Will his foot be right at any point before the 2025 season? Those are key questions tied to the Bucs’ chances for success this season.

Joe’s not implying the Bucs are playing games with the injury report, but something seems off — and sounds off — with Winfield.

Healthy enough to play and practice is often something very different than truly being healthy.
