Report: Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs out 3-4 weeks with ankle injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs is expected to miss three to four weeks with an ankle injury, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Wirfs suffered the injury during overtime Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns when a defender landed awkwardly on his lower leg.

He was carted off the field, but X-rays were negative, and Wirfs was seen walking around the locker room without assistance after the game, fueling hope that he avoided a season-ending injury.

While this is obviously encouraging news compared to what it looked like Sunday, being without Wirfs for the next month will be a huge blow for a Buccaneers team still hoping to sneak into the playoffs via the lackluster NFC South division.
