David finished Sunday's 23-20 loss to San Francisco with eight tackles (four solo). David has logged exactly eight tackles in each of his last three outings, and he has reached that mark in seven of 10 regular-season games. He leads the Buccaneers with 72 tackles (44 solo) on the year, which is one more than safety Jordan Whitehead.
David finished Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs with eight tackles (five solo). David played every single defensive snap Monday, and he has logged at least eight combined tackles in six of his last seven outings. Through the first nine games of the regular season, David has logged 64 tackles (40 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass breakups, one interception and two forced fumbles.
David (ankle/chest) was a full practice participant Saturday, and he carries no injury designation into Monday's game against the Chiefs, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. David was held out of practice Thursday and Friday while attending to ankle and chest injuries. He was able to practice Saturday without limitations, and barring any setbacks, the 2012 second-round pick will be good to go Monday. Through the first eight games of the regular season, David has logged 56 tackles (35 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass breakups, one interception and two forced fumbles.
David (ankle/chest) was a DNP during Thursday's practice. David was forced to exit this past Sunday's game against the Falcons due to an ankle injury. It appears he's also dealing with a chest issue, and his practice participation over the next two days will indicate whether he'll be able to play against the Chiefs on Monday. If David cannot play, J.J. Russell or Antonio Grier could get the start at inside linebacker alongside K.J. Britt
David (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Atlanta, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. David had seven tackles (four solo) before leaving in the second half of Sunday's game. He went back to the locker room after being checked on by trainers, and while he's sidelined, Antonio Grier and J.J. Russell should see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter K.J. Britt.
David registered nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 51-27 victory versus the Saints on Sunday. David came into Sunday with exactly eight tackles in three straight games, and he went one above that number to finish with a season-high nine stops against New Orleans. The linebacker also recorded his third sack of the campaign, all of which have come over the past three weeks. David is on pace to easily surpass his career-best mark of 7.0 sacks established in 2013.
David recorded eight tackles (six solo) and intercepted a pass in Thursday's overtime loss to Atlanta. David came up with a big interception with just under two minutes remaining in the contest to put Tampa Bay in a good position for a victory, but the team's offense couldn't pick up a first down, and the Falcons were able to kick a game-tying field goal as time expired to send the contest into an extra period. The pickoff was the 13th of David's career but his first since the 2020 campaign. Through five weeks, the veteran linebacker has recorded 37 tackles (23 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while forcing two fumbles and registering three pass defenses.
David tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, defensed a pass and forced a fumble in Sunday's 33-16 victory versus the Eagles. David's first sack came late in the third quarter and resulted in a Jalen Hurts fumble that was recovered by the Buccaneers. The veteran linebacker brought down Hurts again on Philadelphia's next drive, which ended with an Eagles punt. David is on pace for another campaign of triple-digit tackles, as he has 29 stops through four weeks.
David recorded eight total tackles (three solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Broncos. David finished second on the team to cornerback Jamel Dean in takedowns while forcing a fumble on a carry by Denver running back Javonte Williams in the second quarter, which was ultimately recovered by teammate Logan Hall. David has now compiled 21 total tackles (12 solo) and a forced fumble over the first three games in 2024.
