Antoine Winfield Jr. Delayed By COVID-19
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, but it was followed by a negative test on Monday. "Antoine tested positive, but today he tested negative, so we think it's a false positive," head coach Bruce Arians said. "That's the problem right now with these false positives, they're missing two days. A couple of them are safeties, so we'll just wait and see." Teammate and fellow safety Jordan Whitehead is also on the COVID-19 list in training camp. It's annoying that they'll have to miss a few days in camp, but both players should be able to return in short order. The 22-year-old Winfield finished as the No. 18 defensive back in IDP scoring in his rookie season in 2020 with 94 tackles (64 solo), one interception, six passes defensed and three sacks.
