Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs Misses 2025 Season Start With Knee Injury
Several key rookie players and injury updates are shaping expectations for the 2025 NFL season. Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland, despite recovering from shoulder surgery and backing up established starter Cole Kmet, is expected to have a significant situational role in the passing game, leveraging his top-10 draft status and the offensive scheme of coach Ben Johnson. Tampa Bay Buccaneers' star tackle Tristan Wirfs will miss the start of the season following knee surgery, which could impact Tampa Bay's dominance in the NFC South and provide an opening for the New Orleans Saints, who are considered a sleeper team despite their rebuilding phase. The 49ers face a critical challenge with offensive tackle Trent Williams' injury history; losing him again could severely hamper their offensive line, and their depth at tackle remains questionable. The Carolina Panthers are cautiously managing expectations for first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who may not immediately become the WR1, with veterans like Adam Thielen still leading the corps, reflecting a patient approach to roster building. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints' running back depth behind Alvin Kamara is uncertain, with third-round pick Kendre Miller expected to start but rookie Devin Neal showing promising versatility and durability, potentially pushing for playing time under new head coach Kellen Moore.
