Tampa Bay Buccaneers Injury Update: Pro Bowl Star 100% Fit Ahead of Bucs Camp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs was recently revealing his playing status as he is in a race to get fit before camp. On Sunday, the Buccaneers players were turning up in numbers to support former head coach Bruce Arians and his foundation. It was during the event that Wirfs reveals to the assembly of reports that he is nearing 100 percent fitness.

The 1-time Pro Bowler will be a major injury boost for the franchise as they enter another season: full of high expectations. The return of 7-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady for his 23rd NFL campaign means going for broke.

Last season, Brady played in the postseason with a completely depleted offensive line leading to an early exit.

But having a fully fit Wirfs return to protect Brady in 2022, will be a sign of a return to normality. The Buccaneers’ OT’s efforts did earn him his first All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors last season, but an ankle injury meant the end of his campaign. The 2022 NFL season will be without excuses for the franchise as they look to repeat their feat from the 2020 Super Bowl-winning season.

Is 2022 the year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

The memories from the last season’s disappointing exit from the NFL playoffs due to injuries might be hurting the Buccaneers fans. But the upcoming campaign will be a stark contrast to that situation as the band will be back together. The return of key figures like Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette will be a huge fitness boost as they eye the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Wirfs will be returning sooner due to the alleviation of early fears of requiring surgery on the torn ligaments. While Brady will be returning for possibly one more golden final hurrah before riding into the sunset.

The Buccaneers fans will be counting on the franchise to put themselves in the best position to ensure they remain competitive. Revenge and redemption will be on the minds of both Buccaneers fans and players as they look to return to their former glory.
