Tristan Wirfs, the standout offensive tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will begin the upcoming NFL season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to a right knee injury. This development is significant for both the Bucs and fantasy football enthusiasts, as Wirfs is a two-time All-Pro and integral to Tampa Bay's offensive line. He is joined by teammate Chris Godwin, who is also on the PUP list recovering from a dislocated ankle. The absence of these two players will undoubtedly have ripple effects on the Buccaneers' offensive efficiency as they head into the season.

For fantasy managers, Wirfs' injury could impact quarterback Baker Mayfield's performance, as well as the running game led by Rachaad White. Meanwhile, Godwin's continued recovery raises questions about the potential for the Buccaneers' receiving corps as they seek to maintain their competitive edge in the NFC South.
