Wirfs sustained a right knee injury in the second quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Tampa, Fla. He did not return to the game.
Buccaneers linebacker Chris Braswell Jr. (oblique) and cornerback Zyon McCollum (hamstring) also exited early.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles did not provide an update on the injuries during his postgame news conference. Sources told NFL Network, ESPN and Fox Sports that an initial diagnosis revealed an MCL sprain for Wirfs.
Backup offensive tackle Justin Skule replaced Wirfs in Sunday's game and could be in line for more action amid his potential injury hiatus.
The Buccaneers (4-6) will be on bye in Week 11.
LaPorta injured his left shoulder during the Detroit Lions' 26-23 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday in Houston. Lions coach Dan Campbell said LaPorta sprained the AC joint in the shoulder and "might miss this week."
LaPorta totaled three catches for 66 yards and a touchdown.
Texans defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi (foot) and cornerback Kamari Lassiter (concussion) also sustained injuries. Lassiter logged a tackle and two interceptions.
The Lions (8-1) will host the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8) on Sunday in Detroit. The Texans (6-4) will face the Dallas Cowboys (3-6) on Nov. 18 in Arlington, Texas.

Bigsby totaled two carries for 4 yards. Armstead made three tackles.
Kincaid sustained a left knee injury during the Buffalo Bills' 30-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Indianapolis. He totaled two catches for 24 yards and briefly returned to the game, but exited for a second time in the second half.
Kincaid, who wore a brace on the knee, told reporters that he didn't feel he could run and protect himself.
