Lavonte David - Page 22 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Impact 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. David followed up those elite numbers with a tally of 26 tackles, one sack and four defensed passes over Tampa Bay's four-game postseason run, leaving him primed for a potentially large payday from either the Bucs or elsewhere as he heads into unrestricted free agency.

Limited in practice David (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
