  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Limited again Thursday

    David (foot) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker has opened the week with consecutive limited efforts at practice. David's ability to participate both days bodes well for his chances to play in Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Rams, though his status at Friday's practice will provide a clearer indication of his availability.

  • Dressing for playoff opener

    David (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Listed questionable for Sunday

    David (foot) is questionable for Sunday against the Eagles, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    The Buccaneers activated David (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: David missed the final three games of the regular season due to a foot injury, but he'll be available for Sunday's wild-card matchup after returning to practice this week. Across his six appearances prior to his absence, the 31-year-old racked up 55 tackles (35 solo), a sack, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a pass defense.

  • Expected to be game-time decision

    David (foot) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Eagles, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that David and Leonard Fournette (hamstring) are "the most questionable" among the numerous players whose statuses are in doubt for Sunday. There doesn't appear to be much optimism surrounding David, who was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, but Tampa Bay likely won't make an official ruling until closer to gameday.

  • Returns to practice

    David (foot) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: David landed on injured reserve ahead of Week 16, but the team has been hopeful that the linebacker will return to action for the playoffs. Although the 31-year-old was back at practice Wednesday, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

  • Hopeful for postseason

    The Buccaneers are hopeful David (foot) will be able to return for the playoffs, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: David was placed on the IR prior to Week 16, so he would be eligible to return Wildcard Weekend, health provided. Kevin Minter has replaced him at inside linebacker opposite Devin White while he has been sidelined. The first step in activating this process would be for the Bucs to designate David for return following their regular-season finale versus the Panthers.

  • Moves to IR

    Tampa Bay placed David (foot) on injured reserve Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Multiple reports previously suggested that David would miss multiple games after he injured his foot in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints, and his move to IR now makes the matter official. He'll remain sidelined through the end of the regular season, with Tampa Bay presumably hopeful that three weeks of rest and recovery will be enough for David to be healthy in advance of a potential postseason run. Due to his early shutdown, David will fall just short of the 100-tackle mark -- he's recorded 97…read more

  • Likely to miss time

    David (foot) has a foot sprain that may keep him out for up to four weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: David suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' loss to the Saints on Sunday. The report adds that he could return in Week 18, and although he hasn't been ruled out Sunday against the Panthers, it appears he is very doubtful to suit up. The former Pro-Bowler has been a force this season, with 97 tackles (63 solo), two sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a recovery in 12 games. His presence will certainly be missed on the Tampa Bay defense for whatever…read more

  • Suffers foot injury

    David didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Saints due to a foot injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: David sustained his foot injury late in the contest and was labeled as questionable to return, but he didn't get back on the field in the closing minutes. Prior to his departure, he had a team-high 11 tackles (eight solo) along with a sack and a forced fumble. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available against the Panthers on Dec. 26.

  • Records nine tackles in win

    David totaled nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 33-27 win over Buffalo.

    Analysis: David has now recorded eight-plus tackles in four of his last six games. The 31-year old has the second most tackles on the Tampa Bay defense and is on pace for 112 total tackles this year. The veteran linebacker's strong play goes far beyond the box score, as he is the vocal leader of this Tampa Bay defense.

  • Remains productive Sunday

    David totaled seven tackles (five solo), including one for loss, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Just another day at the office for David, who's now compiled at least seven tackles in four consecutive games. The 31-year-old linebacker has only gotten to the quarterback once this season, but with 71 tackles through nine games, his average of 7.9 stops per contest is actually higher than that of either of his last two campaigns.

  • Another busy night

    David recorded eight tackles (five solo) and was credited with a quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 30-10 win over the Giants in Week 11.

    Analysis: David co-led the Buccaneers in tackles during the big win, recording at least eight stops for the third straight game in the process. The veteran linebacker is on pace for 120 tackles, which would tie for his second-highest total in that category since 2015.

  • Season-high tackle tally in loss

    David recorded 14 tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 29-19 loss to Washington on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker's tackle tally was his highest of the season but still wasn't good enough to pace the team, as position mate Devin White exploded for 18 stops overall. Nevertheless, David's performance was a boon for fantasy managers in IDP formats and pushed the 31-year-old's season average to 8.0 tackles per contest.

  • Eight stops in return

    David (ankle) recorded eight tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 36-27 loss to the Saints in Week 8.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker corroborated his return to full health by logging a full 100 percent of the defensive snaps (76) in the divisional loss. David's tackle total checked in third on the afternoon for Tampa Bay and qualified as his second highest of the campaign.

  • Back in action Sunday

    David (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker will shed his questionable tag and return to action after a two-game absence. Before his injury, David already was providing his usual strong IDP numbers, posting 32 tackles and a pair of defensed passes over four-plus games.

  • May play Sunday

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

    Analysis: David has missed the last two games with a sprained ankle, but he returned to practice this week and appears on track to play after practicing with no limitations Friday. The 31-year-old had 32 tackles and two passes defensed across the first four games of the year before suffering the injury Week 5.

    David (ankle) made his return to practice Wednesday, logging a limited effort, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker has missed two consecutive games, but returning to practice is a step in the right direction for his availability for Sunday. Head coach Bruce Arians already said Monday that he is hopeful David could play in Week 8 versus the Saints. In five games this season, he has made 34 tackles while sacking the quarterback once.

  • Could return against Saints

    Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that he's hopeful David (ankle) will be able to return for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: David has missed the last two games with a low-ankle sprain, and he was held out of practice last week. If he's able to return against New Orleans, he should reclaim his starting role.

  • Won't play Sunday

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

    Analysis: David sat out last week's win over the Eagles and will miss his second straight game after not practicing this week. Kevin Minter played 87 percent of the defensive snaps in his place and could see similar playing time versus Chicago.

  • Remains sidelined

    David (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: David sustained a low-ankle sprain in Week 5 and missed the team's Week 6 matchup Thursday against the Eagles. However, the extended rest wasn't enough for him to retake the field, and he appears to be in danger of missing his second consecutive game.

  • Ruled out for Thursday

    The Buccaneers ruled David (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: David is nursing a low-ankle sprain, so the real question is whether he can return after missing just one contest. The veteran's next chance to suit up will come Oct. 24 versus the Bears. Through the first five weeks, David has produced 34 tackles (22 solo), two pass breakups and one sack.

  • Expected to miss time

    David is expected to miss time with a low-ankle sprain that he sustained in Sunday's win over the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: David was initially believed to be dealing with a knee injury after he exited Sunday's Week 5 win, but his X-rays revealed a low-ankle sprain. He isn't expected to play against the Eagles on Thursday and is currently considered week-to-week. K.J. Britt will likely see additional playing time if David is unavailable.

  • X-rays come back clean

    David (knee) underwent X-rays on his ankles that came back negative, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: David was ruled out from the game with a knee injury, but it's possible he is also dealing with an ankle issue. While this is positive news, it remains unclear how serious David's injuries may be or how long he may be sidelined.

  • Won't return against Dolphins

    David (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: David suffered the injury late in the second quarter and needed assistance from trainers to get to the sideline. It's unclear how severe the injury may be, but the Buccaneers will now be without one of their defensive leaders for the remainder of the game.

    David suffered a knee injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: David was hurt in the second quarter and was down on the field for a few minutes. He walked to the sideline with trainers and it's unclear how severe the injury may be. Prior to his exit, David had two tackles and a quarterback hit.

  • Co-leads team in stops

    David totaled seven tackles (five solo), including one for loss, and also defensed a pass in the Buccaneers' 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night.

    Analysis: David shared the team lead in tackles with the debuting Richard Sherman and Antoine Winfield (concussion), posting his third-highest tackle tally of the first four games. The veteran linebacker is averaging a robust eight stops per contest overall, and although he's yet to add any peripheral stats except for a couple of pass breakups, it's worth noting David has at least one sack in three straight seasons and multiple forced fumbles in seven of the last eight campaigns.

  • Tallies six tackles

    David posted six solo tackles in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Coming off four straight seasons with 100-plus tackles, David is off a predictable start with 25 stops through three games. He doesn't add much in terms of pass rush -- he has posted just six sacks over the previous four years -- but his tackling floor should be enough for fantasy viability.

  • Posts eight tackles in win

    David recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 48-25 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Davis is up to his usual tricks with 19 tackles through two games. The 2012 second-round pick has posted 100-plus tackles in nine of the last 10 seasons. Both David and Devin White have weekly IDP value in Tampa Bay's elite defense.

  • Paces squad in tackles

    David recorded 11 tackles (five solo) and defensed a pass in the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker was also credited with a hit on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott while pacing the team in tackles on the night. By all accounts, the ultra-reliable David had a strong training camp, making his quick start to the new season relatively unsurprising. The 10-year pro will next set his sights on helping slow down the revamped Falcons offense in a Week 2 matchup a week from Sunday.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

  • 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 (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.

  • 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) 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.

  • 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.

  • Records first interception of '20

    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 has proven a natural fit for coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme through his first 18 games in the system, and it appears he's unsurprisingly…read more

    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.

    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. David also lowered the completion percentage he allowed on passes on which he was a primary…read more

    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.

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.
