K.J. Britt - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Opens week as DNP Britt (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Britt hurt his ankle against Carolina in Week 13 and missed this past Sunday's win over the Raiders. His participation level the rest of this week should clarify whether he has a chance of returning to action Sunday against the Chargers. If Britt can't play in that contest, J.J. Russell could get a start if he's able to return from a hamstring issue. Otherwise, the opportunity could go to Vi Jones.

Hurts ankle in Week 13 Britt suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's contest at Carolina.

Impact Before exiting in the second quarter, Britt didn't make a mark in the box score for the Buccaneers. If he's unable to return to action, it'll mark his first game of the campaign without a tackle. Through 11 appearances, Britt ranged from three to 10 tackles in a given outing.

Racks up nine tackles Monday Britt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed during Monday's 30-24 overtime loss at Kansas City.

Impact Despite rotating off the field more frequently than he had in other recent games, Britt still played 45 defensive snaps Monday, and he totaled six-plus tackles for the sixth time in his last seven outings. As long as he holds onto his starting spot, he'll remain on the IDP radar as the year continues.

No restrictions Thursday Britt (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact Britt was limited Wednesday due to an illness, but the 2021 fifth-round pick appears to have moved past that issue. He accrued five tackles (three solo) and played 42 snaps (38 on defense, four on special teams) in the Bucs' Week 1 win over the Commanders.

Under the weather Britt (illness) was limited during practice Wednesday.

Impact Britt's illness didn't keep him off the field Wednesday, so it's likely not significant enough to keep him out Sunday against the Lions. His practice status in the days ahead will still be worth watching though to be certain whatever is ailing him doesn't get progressively worse.
