David (groin), "will hopefully be close" and ready to play Week 14 against the Falcons, according to head coach Todd Bowles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. David has missed each of the team's last two games, but it appears he has a chance to return Sunday against Atlanta. It'll be good news for Tampa Bay's defense if he can, both from a talent perspective and due to the number of injuries the team is currently dealing with at linebacker.... See More ... See Less

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Won't play vs. Panthers
David (groin) is out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. David will miss his second straight game in Week 13 as he tends to a groin injury. With Devin White (foot) also ruled out for Sunday's contest, Tampa Bay will be severely shorthanded at linebacker, with rookie fifth-rounder SirVocea Dennis (illness) probably the next best player on the second level of its defense and 2021 fifth-rounder K.J. Britt on standby in case Dennis is ruled out too.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Still working through injury
David (groin) didn't participate during Wednesday's walk-through practice. David was unable to play in Week 12 against the Colts and appears to be in danger of missing Tampa Bay's Week 13 tilt with the Panthers. The veteran linebacker could conceivably suit up for the matchup without practicing, but ideally, he'll get back on the field Thursday or Friday in some capacity.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Won't play Week 12
David (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. David hasn't practiced since he suffered a groin strain Week 12, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out versus Indianapolis. In his stead, K.J. Britt and SirVocea Dennis will be candidates to handle increased snaps, especially if Devin White (foot) also ends up on the sidelines.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Looking unlikely for Week 12
David (groin) is considered a long shot to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. David didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, reportedly a strain, he suffered Week 11. The standout linebacker will have two more opportunities to increase the level of his practice activity, but at this point, it looks like he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup at Indianapolis....

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Misses practice Wednesday
David (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday. David reportedly suffered a strained groin in the Week 11 loss to the 49ers and underwent an MRI earlier this week. The Bucs are dealing with injuries all over their defense headed into Sunday's date with the Colts.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Won't return Sunday
David has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a groin injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. David was productive before leaving Sunday's game, as he racked up seven solo tackles, including a sack and three tackles for a loss. He'll be unavailable for the final quarter, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for next Sunday's game against the Colts. SirVocea Dennis has replaced David at linebacker against San Francisco.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Records 14 tackles in loss
David had 14 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's 24-18 loss to the Bills. David once again led the team in tackles, and Thursday's performance was the third straight game in which he has registered double-digit tackles. He's far and away the leading tackler on the team with 67 total tackles and also leads the team with seven tackles for a loss. David will look to build on his performance in Week 9 on the road against the Texans.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Records 12 tackles, sack in defeat
David recorded 12 tackles (nine solo), two tackles for loss, one sack and one pass breakup in the Bucs' Week 6 loss to the Lions Sunday. The 33-year-old has played every defensive snap over the last four games and 99 percent of the downs on the year through five contests. The career Buccaneer has 40 tackles (25 solo), five TFLs, two sacks and one pass breakup on the season.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Big game in loss
David logged 13 tackles (nine solo) ane one sack in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles. David's 13 tackles were good enough for a game-high, and his sack was the first he tallied through three games. He was on the field for all 78 snaps, which makes it back-to-back games without him missing one. The star linebacker will look to continue producing at a high level in Week 4 in New Orleans....

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Enters concussion protocol
David (concussion) was forced out of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. David collided with teammate Vita Vea during the second half of Sunday's season opener, and it appears he took a hit to the head and will be questionable to return for the remainder of this contest. The 33-year-old collected over 100 tackles for the 10th time in his career last season, and his absence will be a significant loss for Tampa Bay's defense. With David sidelined, K.J. Britt and SirVocea Dennis will step up into bigger roles alongside starting inside linebacker Devin White.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Staying with Tampa
Davis agreed Wednesday with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports. The 33-year-old linebacker started all 17 games last season, finishing with his most tackles (124) since 2015 and his most sacks (three) since 2018. Pro Football Focus even graded David third among off-ball linebackers (85.1 score), though teammate Devin White had better IDP numbers while grading out 74th of 81 qualifiers (43.7). Both are viable candidates to lead the Bucs in tackles in 2013, but White's superior speed and pass rushing makes him the more attractive IDP option even if he's not quite as reliable from snap to snap as Tampa Bay's elder statesman in the linebacking corps....

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Leads tackling effort Week 17
David recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers. David led the Buccaneers' in tackles for the third consecutive game, and he has now posted 120 tackles over 16 contests this season. This is also the 11th-year linebacker's ninth season of 100 tackles or more. David could have a chance to continue piling up tackles Week 18 against the Falcons' rush-heavy offense.... See More ...

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Busy day in Week 15 loss
David recorded eight tackles (five solo), including one sack, in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. The veteran linebacker paced the Buccaneers in tackles while playing every defensive snap and also recorded the only solo sack of Joe Burrow on the afternoon. David crossed the 100-tackle threshold for the season and ninth time in his career, and he's now recorded at least seven stops in four of the last five contests going into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cardinals on Christmas Night....

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Standout effort in Week 13 win
David recorded 12 tackles (10 solo), including a sack and an additional tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night. David easily set the pace in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers, doubling the total of the runner-up, fellow veteran William Gholston. The talented linebacker tied a season high with the tally, which also included his first sack since Week 2. David heads into a Week 14 road matchup against a 49ers team that may focus heavily on the run with rookie quarterback Brock Purdy at the helm with at least seven stops in the last three games....

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Plays every snap
David recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday. David played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, as he has all season, in the losing effort. His eight tackles were the most since he recorded 12 in Week 6 against the Steelers and his third-highest total on the season. The veteran linebacker now has 77 stops (47 solo), a sack and four passes defensed across 11 contests of his 2022 campaign. He'll look to add to that Monday against the Saints.... See More ... See Less -
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Team-high seven stops
David collected seven tackles in Sunday's 21-3 defeat against the Panthers. David finished as the Buccaneers' leading tackler for the second week in a row. The 32-year-old has complied 53 tackles, one sack and two passes defended while playing every defensive snap over the first seven games of the season. David could stand to post a more prolific output against Baltimore's run-heavy offense Thursday night.... See More ... See Less -
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: 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.... See More ... See Less -
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.... See More ... See Less
