Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) likely out vs. Ravens

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl defensive back Antoine Winfield Jr. has a concussion and is "likely to be out" Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens, coach Todd Bowles said Monday.

The injury came in the third quarter against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday while colliding with running back Raheem Blackshear on a tackle.

Winfield Jr. is arguably one of the Bucs' best defensive players. After starting as a safety and moonlighting as a nickelback last year, Winfield has made almost a full-time transition to the role but still lines up as a safety about 30% of the time, giving the Bucs greater ability to disguise their coverages.
