Bucs' Wirfs inactive for divisional-round game vs. Rams
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams due to an ankle injury, the team announced.
However, center Ryan Jensen is active despite dealing with an ankle injury. Jensen and Wirfs both suffered their ankle ailments in the wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles and were listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
Wirfs earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro nods for his play in the 2021 campaign. He started all 17 games and didn't miss a single snap before the team's wild-card game.
The Buccaneers will be short-handed at wide receiver Sunday with Cyril Grayson Jr. also inactive with a hamstring ailment. Veteran wideout Breshad Perriman was ruled out for the contest Friday due to a hip/abdomen issue.
Tampa Bay's offense will look to hold off a Rams defense that notched 50 sacks in 2021.
