News

  • Productive day against Cardinals

    David registered eight tackles (six solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cardinals.

    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.

  • Records first sack

    David had nine tackles (seven solo) and a sack in Sunday's overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: David has come out of Tampa Bay's Week 7 bye firing with 21 tackles (13 solo), a sack and a pass defensed in the last two games. The veteran linebacker has played every defensive snap for the Buccaneers since missing a handful of plays in the season opener.

  • Stacks up 12 stops

    David posted 12 tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: This was David's first double-digit tackle performance of the year. If he can keep up his current pace -- 53 stops through seven games -- David will eclipse 100 tackles for the seventh time in his eight-year career. As long as he stays healthy, there's no reason that isn't achievable since the 29-year-old hasn't left the field on defense since Week 1.

  • Another six stops in loss

    David finished with six tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: David boosted his tackle total by one over his Week 5 effort against the Saints while logging another robust 66-snap workload. The veteran linebacker is averaging just under seven stops per game, which put him on pace for his third straight campaign with triple-digit tackles. He's also boosted his pass coverage by forcing a near 18-percent drop in completion percentage against him over last season (57.9, compared to 75.6) and has already recorded his first interception since 2016.

  • Solid showing in Week 5 loss

    David recorded five tackles (all solo) and one quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 31-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: David had a decent game from an IDP perspective, although his tackle tally actually qualified as a season low. The veteran linebacker has largely proven a good fit for coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 defense thus far, having notched no fewer than seven stops in any game prior to Sunday's and already having collected a pair of defensed passes and one interception.

  • Grabs pick in win

    David recorded seven total tackles, one pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's win over the Rams.

    Analysis: David's pick Sunday was his first forced turnover of the season and was his first interception since the 2016 campaign. The 29-year-old has logged 30 total tackles through four games in 2019 and will look to build off his momentum next week against New Orleans.

  • Piles up tackles in loss

    David finished Sunday's loss to the Giants with nine tackles (four solo).

    Analysis: David logged 65 snaps in Sunday's defeat, 14 fewer than his Week 2 total, but the 29-year-old linebacker still led the Buccaneers with nine tackles. In addition to pacing the team in stops, David finished the game with both a pass deflection and a quarterback hit.

  • Another solid tackle total

    David logged seven tackles (two solo) in the Buccaneers' 20-14 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

    Analysis: David came through with his second seven-tackle tally in as many games to open the new season, although he played a complementary role on a greater percentage of those stops than usual. The veteran linebacker seems to have quickly hit his stride in coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme and has also allowed just one completion over the first four attempts that have come his way while in primary coverage over the first two games.

  • Thrives in new scheme

    David recorded seven tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: David had limited experience with coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme this summer, as an early-August procedure to address a torn meniscus curtailed his training camp and wiped out his entire preseason. However, the veteran linebacker was ready to roll for the opener and didn't miss a beat, checking in second in tackles on the afternoon to safety Jordan Whitehead. Fantasy managers holding David in IDP leagues have to be encouraged by the prospect of what the 29-year-old might be capable of the…read more

  • Ready to rock

    David is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: David appears back to full health after undergoing minor knee surgery early August. The star veteran will suit up alongside rookie first-round pick Devin White and solidify Tampa Bay's interior linebacker group versus San Francisco.

  • Full go Thursday

    David (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Eduardo Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: David underwent a minor knee procedure in early August and appears getting healthy just in time for Sunday's season opener. David and rookie first-rounder Devin White will man the Buccaneers' interior linebacker corps as they look to improve on last season's 5-11 record.

  • Limited showing Wednesday

    David (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The veteran seems to be still recovering from a knee procedure to address a torn meniscus in early August but is making strides toward a return. That fact that David was able to practice in some capacity bodes well for his chances to suit up Sunday. Expect the team to continue to update his status as Week 1 draws closer.

  • Nearing return to practice

    David (knee) is expected to resume practicing next Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: David underwent a procedure to address a torn meniscus in his left knee earlier in August and appears to be recovering on schedule. There's optimism that Davis will be ready to go Week 1, and a return to practice Tuesday would likely be essential to that timetable. When healthy, the veteran linebacker projects as a top-end option in IDP formats.

  • Undergoes minor knee procedure

    Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that David recently underwent a procedure to address a torn meniscus in his left knee, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Arians relayed that he doesn't expect David to miss the Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup with the 49ers.

    Analysis: While any procedure this close to the start of the season is at least somewhat concerning, the Buccaneers are optimistic that a lighter load in training camp and during the exhibition slate will be all David needs to get ready for Week 1. After missing only two games through his first five seasons in the league, David has shown more durability concerns the last two years, sitting out three contests in 2017 and two in 2018. Assuming he's good to go for the start of the season, however, David…read more

  • Dealing with knee issue

    Head coach Bruce Arians confirmed Saturday that David is dealing with a knee issue and will be evaluated further, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The star linebacker has been enjoying an impressive camp while adapting to new coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme. However, David missed practice both Friday and Saturday with what Arians confirmed was swelling. Consider David day-to-day for the time being.

  • Finishes season on stellar note

    David totaled nine tackles (seven solo) in the Buccaneers' 34-32 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: David was in the familiar position of pacing the team in tackles on the afternoon. It was a fitting cap on another strong season for the veteran linebacker, who finished with his best tackle tally since the 2015 campaign despite missing two games, and who also logged 3.5 sacks after being shut out in that category for the first time in his career last season. The 28-year-old remains under contract through 2020, and although he failed to log an interception for the second straight season in…read more

  • Makes impact in Week 16 loss

    David tallied five tackles (three solo), including two for loss, in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: As customary, David made an impact on the stat sheet, recording multiple tackles for loss for the fourth time this season. David did see a notable downturn in his overall tackle numbers following three straight games with double-digit tallies, and after not having recorded any fewer than six stops in any prior contest. Despite Sunday's dip in overall production, David has nevertheless enjoyed another strong campaign, as he'll head into the Week 17 finale against the Falcons with 110 tackles (87…read more

  • Tallies two sacks Sunday

    David recorded 12 tackles (10 solo), including two sacks, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: David's two sacks Sunday give him three in as many weeks, and his 12 tackles Sunday brings his season total to a team high 105 (84 solo). He'll look to continue his strong year against the Cowboys in Week 16.

  • Leads team in tackles

    David recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: David was able to lead his team in tackles for the game and record his second consecutive game with double digit tackles. The Nebraska product continues to be a strong IDP option, accumulating 93 tackles (74 solo) in just 11 games. David will look to keep it going against the Ravens in Week 15.

  • Excels in return

    David collected 12 tackles (10 solo), a sack and a pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 24-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: David was outstanding in his two-game return from an MCL injury, easily pacing the team in tackles while recording his first full sack of the season. The 28-year-old has logged no fewer than six stops in any game this season, and he's totaled seven or more in five consecutive contests. Now apparently back at full health, David will look to once again play a key role against a dangerous Saints offense in Week 14.

  • Suiting up in Week 13

    David (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 13 tilt against the Panthers.

    Analysis: David will make his return after a two-game absence, a particularly welcome development against the Panthers' run-centric offense. The veteran linebacker has averaged just under eight tackles per game thus far in 2018, and that already robust total could see at least a slight boost Sunday, considering the matchup.

  • Questionable Week 13

    David (knee) is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite the designation, David is expected to suit up Sunday after advancing to full practice participation Friday, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. The 28-year-old missed the last two games with an MCL sprain in his right knee but should take on a full-time role as the team's starting strong side linebacker if he's active this weekend as anticipated. Through nine games, David has registered 71 tackles, one forced fumble and a half sack.

  • Still limited in practice

    David (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: David logged his second straight limited practice session Thursday and continues to work his way back from a sprained MCL. The veteran linebacker's status for the Week 13 tilt against the Panthers could come down to what extent he's able to participate in Friday's practice.

  • Limited to start week

    David (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: David was unable to practice in any capacity last week, so his limited participation Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The veteran linebacker continues to work his way back from a sprained MCL, and his status for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers remains in question. If David is unable to suit up Week 13, Riley Bullough should once again receive an uptick in defensive snaps.

  • Won't suit up Sunday

    David (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With a sprained MCL in tow, David was unable to practice yet again this week, setting him up for a second consecutive absence. As long as he's sidelined, Riley Bullough appears as if he'll be the primary beneficiary, though he only played 29 of 53 defensive snaps Week 11 against the Giants en route to two solo tackles.

  • Sits out Wednesday

    David (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: David suffered a sprained right MCL in Week 11 and was forced to miss his first game of the season last Sunday against the Giants. MCL injuries often have multiweek recoveries, and the 28-year-old has a good chance of missing Sunday's game against the 49ers, even if he is able to return to practice the next couple days.

  • Set for first absence of 2018

    David (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It was always likely that David would miss some game action after he was diagnosed with an MCL sprain coming out of the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the Redskins. Such injuries often carry multi-week recovery timetables, so David isn't a safe bet to be ready to play Week 12 against the 49ers, either. At the very least, David will need to increase his involvement in practice next week to have a shot at playing, as he was unable to take the field in any capacity from Wednesday through Friday.

  • Skips practice Wednesday

    David (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: An MRI Monday revealed that David is dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee. The risk with an injury like this is that a player can miss multiple weeks while recovering. It comes as little surprise, then, that David missed practice Wednesday. David's status throughout the week should paint a better picture of his Week 11 designation.

  • In danger of missing Week 11

    David's availability for Sunday's road game versus the Giants is in peril after an MRI revealed Monday that he's dealing with a sprained MCL in his right knee, Eduardo Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: David is the Buccaneers' leading tackler with 71 through nine games. His defensive snap share of 98.6 percent would be difficult to account for due to the banged-up nature of the linebacker corps. At the moment, Kwon Alexander and Jack Cichy reside on IR with ACL tears while Kendell Beckwith (ankle) remains on the Non-Football Injury list. In the end, the Bucs may utilize a majority two-linebacker scheme composed of Adarius Taylor and Devante Bond if David is absent this weekend. MCL injuries…read more

  • Records eight tackles in loss

    David logged eight tackles (six solo) and half a sack during Sunday's 42-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: David was one of the few bright spots in Tampa Bay's defense, which was largely unable to contain the Panthers' offensive attack Week 9. The starting linebacker has logged eight tackles in each of the Buccaneers' last three games and has been a reliable IDP asset all season. David will look to record another solid performance against Washington in Week 10.
