Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Team-leading tackle tally
David recorded 11 tackles (seven solo), including one for loss and recovered a fumble during the Buccaneers' 30-27 divisional-round loss to the Rams on Sunday.
David's tackle total paced the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and his recovery of a Cam Akers fumble at the Rams' 30-yard line helped set up Tampa Bay's eventual game-tying touchdown. David's season-ending performance capped off a solid campaign in which the veteran linebacker navigated five absences due to ankle and foot injuries to still post 97 tackles (63 solo), two sacks, three defensed passes, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery across 12 regular-season contests.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Good to go for divisional round
David (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
David returned from a three-game absence due to the foot injury to play in Tampa Bay's wild-card win over the Eagles. His limited participation at practice throughout the week was likely just precautionary, as the star linebacker is expected to be full go Sunday. The last time these two teams met (Week 3), David played all 63 defensive snaps and recorded six solo tackles.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Dressing for playoff opener
David (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Though the Buccaneers activated David from injured reserve Saturday following a three-game absence, the team still designated him as questionable heading into the playoff opener. The designation was likely just a precaution in case David suffered a setback with his foot in pregame warmups, but his active status implies that didn't materialize. Expect David to step back into his usual starting role at inside linebacker, giving the Buccaneers a sure tackler in the middle as the team looks to slow down a potent Eagles rushing attack.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Listed questionable for Sunday
David (foot) is questionable for Sunday against the Eagles, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
David was activated from IR on Saturday and it was expected he was going to be playing Sunday, and although he may still do so, it isn't a sure thing. The return of David would be a big boost to the Buccaneers' linebacker unit, as he is one of the leaders of their defense. If he can't suit up though, Kevin Minter would likely continue to start in his place.
