July 9 Updates
Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs will likely be placed on the PUP list to start the 2025 season. The All-Pro recently underwent a procedure on his right knee and is expected to miss Training Camp and the preseason. Players who are Physically Unable to Perform can still participate in team activities other than practice. Unlike players on injured reserve, those on the PUP list are still considered a part of the active roster.
Wirfs made history last season, becoming the first offensive lineman to earn First-team All-Pro honors at both tackle positions during a career. His résumé also includes four Pro Bowl nods and a Super Bowl title, won during his rookie season. The cornerstone of the Bucs' offensive line is expected to return early in the season, aiming to help Tampa Bay chase a record-setting fifth consecutive NFC South title. The Bucs open the season on the road against the Falcons, then head to Houston for a primetime matchup against the Texans before returning home for back-to-back games against the Jets and Eagles.
