Tristan Wirfs Fantasy Stats

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday for the first time in training camp this summer, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. It is good news for Tampa's starting offensive line, but it remains to be seen if the Bucs have the 27-year-old play with the rest of the starters in Saturday's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. But barring a setback with his hamstring, the five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro should be healthy and ready to go for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. The former 13th overall pick in 2020 from the University of Iowa will once again be tasked with protecting quarterback Baker Mayfield's blind side in 2026 in his seventh year in the NFL. Wirfs is one of the best tackles in the league and has been a Pro Bowler in all but his rookie campaign.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that left tackle Tristan Wirfs (toe) is questionable to play in Saturday's divisional clash against the Carolina Panthers in the Week 18 regular-season finale, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Wirfs didn't play in last week's upset loss to the Miami Dolphins, but he could be on the right side of questionable for this week's big game after practicing in limited fashion on Wednesday. The 26-year-old's status is key for a game on Saturday that will decide the winner of the NFC South division. The loser will miss the playoffs. In a must-win game this weekend, it would be a surprise if quarterback Baker Mayfield doesn't have his blind-side protector available.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (oblique), who was listed as questionable for Week 14, is officially out for Sunday's divisional clash against the New Orleans Saints. It will be the fourth game that Wirfs has missed this year due to injury. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Graham Barton is expected to kick out to left tackle to protect quarterback Baker Mayfield's blind side. Ben Bredeson will likely start at center. It's a notable shake-up for Tampa's offensive line against a decent Saints defense in a must-win game as the Bucs look to stay atop the NFC South division.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (bicep) and left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) are officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction to play. Mayfield has looked great through three games, totaling six touchdowns and zero interceptions while ranking as the overall QB10. His protection has taken a step back this year due to offensive line injuries, but he'll get a major reinforcement this week with Wirfs back in the mix. Wirfs missed the first three games of the season but should have no trouble handling 100 percent of the offensive snaps this weekend. His presence will help the Buccaneers protect Mayfield's blindside.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers two-time All-Pro tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) is listed as questionable for Tampa's Week 4 clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, but head coach Todd Bowles said that things are trending in the right direction for his starting left tackle. Through three weeks, the Buccaneers' offensive line has been ravaged by injury, with right guard Cody Mauch already out for the year with a knee injury and right tackle Luke Goedeke currently sidelined with a foot injury sustained in Week 1 and aggravated in Week 2. Wirfs, arguably the team's best overall player, has yet to play a snap in 2025 following a knee issue that required surgery in July and forced him to miss all of training camp. While he may be eased back into action, as we saw with the Giants' Andrew Thomas on Sunday night, his presence will help to steady an offensive line that has admirably held things together amidst a 3-0 start.

Along with wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle), Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) will practice on Thursday for the first time since having surgery on his knee in July, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. It's all part of their conditioning to hopefully play in a few weeks. The Bucs plan to have both Godwin and Wirfs practice twice this week, but they won't be active on Monday night to face the Houston Texans in Week 2. Wirfs, the team's starting left tackle when healthy, had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee during the summer and is expected to miss the first couple of games of the year. How much progress Wirfs can make this week and next week will determine if he'll be in play to make his season debut in Week 3 against the New York Jets. Charlie Heck should make another start at left tackle against Houston. UPDATE: Wirfs was officially limited on Thursday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Wirfs is working his way back from offseason knee surgery and was initially expected to miss time at the start of the season. However, earlier in August, Wirfs was activated off the PUP list, which suggested he could be available for Week 1. However, the team will opt to take a cautious approach with their star lineman. Instead, fantasy managers should expect Charlie Heck to slot in as the starting left tackle on Sunday afternoon. Even though the Buccaneers will be without their top offensive lineman, they remain one of the sport's top offensive units. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a career year and should remain a strong QB1 in this matchup.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports that "on the optimistic side," Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) may return for the team's Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets. Wirfs missed all of training camp after undergoing surgery on his right knee, but avoided being placed on the physically unable to perform list and is thus eligible to return at any time. The 26-year-old is a four-time Pro-Bowler and has been named a first-team All-Pro twice, including last season. His presence in the lineup could make a world of difference for Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and running back Bucky Irving.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) will begin the season on the 53-man roster, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. One of the best tackles in the game, Wirfs is recovering from knee surgery and likely will be on a similar track to return as receiver Chris Godwin (ankle), Bowles said. That means the Iowa product likely won't play immediately this season, but is eligible to return to practice and does not have to miss a mandated four games now that he has been activated from the physically unable to perform list. He has missed all of training camp so far. UPDATE: Wirfs is unlikely to play until October.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Tristan Wirfs (knee) is making steady progress in his recovery from July MCL surgery. While Wirfs won't be ready for Week 1, the team is optimistic he could return as early as Week 3, avoiding a stint on the PUP list. A four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, Wirfs anchors Tampa Bay's offensive line, and his return would be a major boost for Baker Mayfield's protection. Fantasy managers invested in Mayfield, Mike Evans, and running back Bucky Irving should be encouraged that Wirfs could be back stabilizing the line sooner rather than later.
