The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be short a major piece of their offense to open the 2025 campaign.
All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs underwent knee surgery on Tuesday and will likely start the season on the physically unable to perform list, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday, per sources informed of the situation.
Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times first reported the news.
Starting the season on the PUP list would knock the star LT out at least four weeks.
Wirfs dealt with a right knee issue during the 2024 season but missed just one game. He was limited during offseason workouts while wearing a brace on the knee.
