Cowboys prepare for Buccaneers without Winfield in Week 5

The Dallas Cowboys are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 6, 2026. The Buccaneers will be without free safety Antoine Winfield, who sustained a rib fracture and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. The Cowboys have been effective on offense this season, averaging 3.39 points per drive and excelling in the intermediate passing game. With Winfield sidelined, the Cowboys may exploit the Buccaneers' struggles in defending passes at intermediate depth, particularly as Dak Prescott has targeted CeeDee Lamb frequently. The game will take place at AT&T Stadium.
