  • Staying with Bucs

    David has agreed to a two-year, $25 million contract extension with the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The talented linebacker thus is off the market as free agency approaches. The 31-year-old, who entered the NFL as a second-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in 2012, racked up an IDP-worthy 117 tackles (82 solo) in 2020, to go along with 1.5 sacks and an interception in 16 games. Now that he's back in the fold, David will reprise his starting inside linebacker role with the Bucs this coming season.

  • Solid effort in first Super Bowl

    David totaled six tackles (all solo) and defensed two passes during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker was one of the true feel-good stories of the victory, considering David endured some lean years with the franchise after being drafted in the second round back in 2012. The 31-year-old eclipsed the century mark in tackles for the fourth consecutive season in 2020, racking up 117 stops (82 solo), 1.5 sacks, one interception, five additional defensed passes, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 16 games. David followed up those elite numbers with a tally of…read more

  • Removed from injury report

    David (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for the Super Bowl, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: David came off the field for only seven defensive snaps throughout the regular season and has yet to miss a down in the playoffs. There was never any real doubt he'd be able to play through the hamstring injury.

  • Limited in practice

    David (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: David is nursing a minor hamstring injury, but his ability to take part in Wednesday's session in some capacity would seem to signal that he has a good chance at playing Sunday in the Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs. Through the entire regular season and playoffs, David has yet to miss a game this year. He's played 100 percent of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps in all but two contests.

  • Injury severity downplayed

    Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that David (hamstring) is dealing with a "slight" injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: David picked up a hamstring issue during the third quarter of the NFC Championship Game against Green Bay, but it doesn't appear that his availability for Super Bowl Sunday is in significant danger. "You'd have to shoot [David] to get him out of this game," Arians said. The starting linebacker didn't practice at all last week, but it looks like the stage is set for him to return to the field in some capacity soon.

  • Dealing with hamstring injury

    The Buccaneers estimate that David (hamstring) would be listed as questionable if they had a game this Sunday.

    Analysis: The Bucs, of course, won't actually play until the following Sunday, taking on Kansas City in the Super Bowl. David was held out of every practice this week, but there hasn't been any report suggesting his hamstring injury is serious. Consequently, he'll likely get out on the practice field in some capacity next week.

  • Usual solid tackle tally in win

    David posted seven tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: David's production took a slight, expected hit with the return of position mate Devin White to action after a two-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols. However, the veteran linebacker still checked in second on the team in tackles behind White, and he'll once again be set to play a prominent role in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the formidable Packers offense.

  • Outstanding in wild-card win

    David totaled nine tackles (eight solo), including one sack, and also defensed one pass in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.

    Analysis: David had finished the regular season with an eight-tackle tally against the Falcons, and he was even more effective in the postseason victory against Washington. The veteran's tackle total Saturday night tied him for the team lead with cornerback Carlton Davis, but David's numbers may take a slight hit in Sunday evening's divisional-round contest against the Saints with position mate Devin White returning from the COVID-19 list for that contest.

  • Finishes regular season strong

    David supplied eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 44-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker racked up the second-highest number of tackles for the Buccaneers on the day, allowing him to finish the regular campaign on a strong note. David heads into the first postseason of his storied career having posted eight or more tackles in four of his last six contests, and having filled out the IDP stat sheet with 117 stops (82 solo), 1.5 sacks, one interception, six passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries while playing all 16 games for the second…read more

  • Another five-tackle effort

    David registered five tackles (two solo) in the Buccaneers' 47-7 win over the Lions on Saturday.

    Analysis: David was once again a distant second in stops to fellow linebacker Devin White, whose phenomenal campaign continued with a 10-tackle effort in the rout. David has slowed down somewhat over the last two games with five tackles apiece in those contests, but he's still put together a fourth straight 100-tackle campaign and has provided excellent, well-rounded complementary numbers in the form of 1.5 sacks, an interception, six defensed passes overall and two forced fumbles and fumble recoveries…read more

  • Modest tackle numbers in win

    David recorded five tackles (three solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: David checked in tied for fourth in stops on the afternoon for the Bucs, a rather pedestrian slotting by his lofty standards. The veteran linebacker did cross the 100-tackle threshold for the season with Sunday's tally, however, making it four consecutive seasons and eight of nine overall for David over the century mark. He'll look to put together an even more productive showing during a Saturday afternoon battle against the Lions in what is fantasy championship week for many leagues.

  • Racks up tackles in loss

    David totaled eight tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker put together another productive performance, tying Antoine Winfield for second on the team in tackles behind Devin White. David now has six or more stops in four straight games and has only dipped below the mark three times all season, giving him a coveted level of IDP consistency that should continue to serve fantasy managers well for what remains of the campaign.

  • Nine tackles Monday

    David recorded nine tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed across 72 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers' leading tackler on the season continues his outstanding 2020 campaign, as he now has 82 tackles (61 solo) on the year. He also has five passes defensed, 1.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble while playing in 100 percent of the defensive snaps so far this season.

  • Co-leads team in tackles

    David recorded six tackles (five solo), including one solo, in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker shared the team lead in stops with Devin White while posting a tally of at least six tackles for the seventh time this season. David played a season-low 48 snaps in the contest, but that represented 100 percent of the Buccaneers' defensive plays on a day when they consistently frustrated the Panthers' offense. David's prominent role in coordinator Todd Bowles' defense should render him a strong IDP play once again during a Week 11 Monday night battle versus the…read more

  • Resumes practicing in full

    David (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: David began the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hyperextended knee, but he now appears back to full form. Barring any setbacks, the veteran linebacker should be in good shape to handle his usual every-down role in Carolina on Sunday.

  • Limited in practice

    David (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: David hyperextended his knee in Sunday's loss to the Saints, but his limited participation on the first day of practice this week is a welcome sign. The veteran linebacker has only missed seven games through his nine seasons in the NFL and has played in 100 percent of the defensive snaps for Tampa Bay this year.

  • Injures knee Sunday

    Coach Bruce Arians said that David hyperextended his knee during Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints but should be "fine," Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Arians' optimism about David's injury is backed up by the veteran linebacker playing every snap in Sunday's divisional tilt. He may log some limited sessions during the upcoming practice week, but the 30-year-old isn't expected to miss games at this time. David has racked up 67 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups and an interception through nine games.

    David (knee) will play in Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

    Analysis: David upgraded to full participation after two limited sessions this week, and he'll avoid missing his first game since 2018. The 30-year-old linebacker has been a fantastic IDP contributor this season, averaging 7.8 tackles per game and adding 1.5 sacks and three pass breakups through six contests.

  • Picks up injury

    David (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: David managed the knee issue all of last week before racking up eight tackles (six solo) and 1.5 sacks in last week's win over Green Bay, so this news shouldn't worry Buccaneers fans too much. It's not quite time to panic on his status for Week 7, but if he were to miss any game action due to injury, Chapelle Russell and Kevin Minter would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

  • Another standout effort

    David registered eight tackles (six solo), including 2.5 for loss, and 1.5 total sacks in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: David's robust line serves as a testament to how much of a disruptive force he was on a banner afternoon for the Buccaneers. The veteran linebacker checked in second only to Devin White in tackles and tied Jason Pierre-Paul for the team lead in sacks as well. Through six contests, David has eight or more stops in three games, while his quarterback takedowns Sunday qualified as his first of the campaign.

    David (knee) upgraded to full practice participation Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of Sirius XM Radio reports.

    Analysis: David was able to practice in full after a pair of limited sessions, clearing up any questions about the standout linebacker's status for Sunday's game. He's still going strong in his ninth NFL season, with 39 tackles and an interception through five games.

  • Managing knee injury

    David (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Wednesday marked the first time this season that David has popped up on the injury report, so the team could be electing to give the veteran some rest. David has been quite productive this season, recording 39 tackles (28 solo), a forced fumble and a pick through five games. It's not quite time to panic on his status for Week 6, but if he were to miss any game action due to injury, Chapelle Russell and Kevin Minter would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

  • Puts up 11 tackles in win

    David compiled 11 tackles (10 solo), including one for loss, and defensed one pass in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker stepped up with his second 11-tackle tally over the first four games of the campaign, pacing the Buccaneers in that category in the process. David has only been under nine tackles in one contest thus far in 2020, and he partly atoned for the drop to four stops in that Week 3 game by recording his first interception of the season. Through four games, David's 35 total tackles are second only to Devin White on the team, while his 26 solo stops currently set the pace for…read more

    David recorded four tackles (two solo), an interception and defensed an additional pass in the Buccaneers' 28-10 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker saw his tackle count uncharacteristically drop, but he helped make up for it from a fantasy perspective with his first interception of the season. David now has at least one pick in six of his nine pro campaigns, including two straight. The reduction in tackles Sunday can also largely be explained by how quickly the Buccaneers were able to make the Broncos' ground game obsolete, with Denver only affording the running back duo of Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman 10 carries…read more

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker followed up an 11-tackle opener against the Saints with Sunday's standout effort, one that saw David check in third in stops on the afternoon and also pounce on a Robby Anderson fumble early in the third quarter. David has already amassed 20 stops through the first two games, while the turnover was his first of the campaign.

    David compiled 11 tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 for loss, and was also credited with one quarterback hit in a 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: David shared the team lead in tackles with fellow linebacker Devin White, turning in a vintage effort on a disappointing afternoon for the Buccaneers overall. The versatile veteran finished 2019 with at least seven stops in eight of his last 10 games, and judging by Sunday's effort, it appears he's primed for another standout campaign.

    David totaled 123 tackles (82 solo), one sack, one interception, seven defensed passes, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 games in 2019.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers endured a disappointing campaign in many ways, but David's individual play was certainly not to blame. The veteran linebacker actually seemed rejuvenated while operating in coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme for the first time, posting his best tackle and defensed passes totals since the 2015 season, while also logging a full 16 games for the first time in the past three campaigns.

    Analysis: David matched teammate Sean Murphy-Bunting with eight total tackles during the Week 15 win. The veteran linebacker has now surpassed 100 tackles for a third straight season. He's a safe bet to rack up continued production as a run stopper against the Texans in Week 16.

  • Posts six tackles

    David had six tackles (three solo) and one quarterback hit during Sunday's 38-35 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: David once again played every defensive snap Sunday and has missed only a handful of plays all season. The 29-year-old has reached double-digit tackles only once in 2019, but his consistency -- at least five tackles in every game -- provides a quality floor as an IDP option.

    David posted six tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: David tied with multiple teammates for second in tackles on the night, and he's now recorded at least six stops in five consecutive games. The veteran is averaging a solid 7.6 tackles per contest overall, and he also boasts an interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery apiece. David is making less impact plays overall during his first year in Todd Bowles' 3-4 defense, but he remains a solid IDP asset due to his consistent tackling.

    Analysis: David continues to be a stalwart for the Buccaneers' defensive unit, having recorded 25 more tackles than anyone else on the team so far this season. The veteran is on track for another 100-tackle season, barring an injury, and is a big reason Tampa Bay is the NFL's No. 1 rushing defense through 10 weeks. Up next is a matchup with the Saints in Week 11.
