"The Bucs, going for a fifth straight division title, have their first major injury setback of 2025.
All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs, the highest-paid offensive lineman in the league, will miss the start of the upcoming season after undergoing surgery Tuesday on his right knee. Wirfs, 26, had been limited in minicamp last month with a brace on the knee, though at the time Bucs coach Todd Bowles sounded confident he would be fine for training camp. That's no longer the case, as the Tampa Bay Times reported that the team discovered additional damage during an arthroscopic procedure, necessitating a longer absence. According to The Times, Wirfs "will likely miss at least the first couple games of the regular season" and will probably start the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would mean a minimum of four games out."

Damn injuries, always the black cloud lurking for every fanbase and team entering a new season. This kid might be the best LT in the NFL. Sucks for Bucs Nation.

At the bold, must be nice to play in a division with the Saints, Panthers and Falcons.

I would NEVER have guessed they were going for their 5th STRAIGHT title!

Some of those must have included Brady

To compound the problem, they lost their best backup tackle in free agency. Justin Skule signed with the Vikings in March.

Sucks to be them.
