The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enjoyed a dominant win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday’s wild-card playoff game, but they also sustained more injuries to key players on both sides of the ball.
Bucs head coach Bruce Arians met with the media Monday, giving updates on right tackle Tristan Wirfs, center Ryan Jensen, and others who are banged up:
Bruce Arians said Tristan Wirfs is in a boot right now. They’ll wait to see on both him and Ryan Jensen for the Divisional Round.

Arians says Ryan Jensen’s mental toughness is off the charts in playing through his ankle injury Sunday. “He’s as tough a dude as there is playing this game.”

The good news is Lavonte David wasn’t as sore as they thought he’d be today, per Arians.
David played 89% of the team’s defensive snaps vs. the Eagles.

#Bucs HC Bruce Arians says that Mike Edwards has a shoulder and elbow injury. He’s tough and isn’t going to miss time.

Arians said Bucs will have to see if Fournette can go full speed on his hamstring, said Ronald Jones isn’t cutting yet on his injured ankle, so both remain question marks for next weekend’s game.

Murphy-Bunting was limited with a hamstring injury all week, didn’t feel good in pregame. Like Fournette and Grayson, he has another week to rest hamstring and test it later in the week, but hard to know if that’s enough to get him back Sunday. https://t.co/qeszKUbn2o
