Britt furnished three tackles (two solo) in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Britt was making his return from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he played just 17 snaps (36 percent) on defense.

Britt (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Britt will return from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 13 against the Panthers. In the 11 games prior to his injury, the 2021 fifth-round pick logged 66 tackles (35 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense. Britt should reclaim his starting spot at inside linebacker alongside Lavonte David while J.J. Russell and Deion Jones serve as the backups.
Britt (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. The Auburn product has been sidelined for each of Tampa Bay's last three games due to an ankle injury sustained in the Week 13 win over the Panthers. However, Britt practiced in full throughout the week, suggesting he's nearing a return to the field. If Britt suits up for Sunday's divisional matchup, he's expected to start alongside Lavonte David as part of the Bucs' top inside linebacker duo.
Britt (ankle) was estimated as a full participant in practice Wednesday. Britt has missed Tampa Bay's past three games after suffering an ankle injury Week 13 against Carolina. Though the Buccaneers didn't hold a regular practice Wednesday, the fact Britt was estimated as a full participant suggests he could return to the field Sunday against the Panthers. J.J. Russell has been starting in Britt's absence.
Britt (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. As expected, Britt will miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 29. Vi Jones and J.J. Russell are the top candidates to start at inside linebacker alongside Lavonte David due to Britt's injury.
Britt (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The Auburn product has missed each of Tampa Bay's last two games due to an ankle injury, and despite limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, it appears likely he'll miss his third game in a row Sunday. If Britt is sidelined in Week 16 as expected, Vi Jones is likely to start alongside Lavonte David as part of the Buccaneers' top inside linebacker duo.
Britt (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Britt has missed the Buccaneers' last two games due to an ankle injury. His return to practice Thursday is a positive step in his progression through his rehab, and Friday's injury report will indicate his chances of playing Sunday against Dallas. Through 12 regular-season games, Britt has registered 66 tackles (35 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense.
Britt (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report. Britt has been sidelined for Tampa Bay's last two games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 13 against Carolina. He has been unable to practice since the injury, and he'll have to return to the field over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Cowboys on Sunday. In the 11 games prior to his injury, Britt registered 66 tackles (35 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Britt (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Britt injured his ankle Week 13 versus the Panthers and will now miss his second consecutive game while working to rehab. With Britt unavailable, J.J. Russell (hamstring) could get a chance to enter the starting lineup, if he can get healthy. Otherwise, that opportunity will figure to go to Vi Jones.
