Bruce Arians: Likely to come down to wire whether Tampa Bay Buccaneers RT Tristan Wirfs can play Sunday

TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs, who suffered a right ankle sprain in Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles, is in a walking boot this week, coach Bruce Arians said Monday.

Arians added that "there's a chance" he can play this week in the divisional round, but it will likely come down to the wire.

Wirfs suffered the injury on the opening series, when he got rolled up on blocking for running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn. Wirfs played one more snap, and as he dropped back to pass block, his foot shot up in pain.
