Lavonte David - Page 27 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

At 6-3, Brady-led Bucs off to best start in nearly 2 decades

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers feel they’re as good as their record, maybe even better

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • Associated Press

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.

Impact 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.

Bucs linebackers Lavonte David, Devin White dare teams to run If the Bucs beat the Saints on Sunday, they will have to slow Saints running back Alvin Kamara. They’ve already done it once this season.

Solid performance in victory David racked up eight tackles (seven solo), including a half tackle for loss, in Sunday's 45-20 win over the Raiders.

Impact David finished second on his squad in tackles only behind Devin White. This marks the second straight week that David has recorded eight tackles. Through seven contests, he's collected 55 tackles (41 solo), 1.5 sacks and an interception.

Cleared for Week 7 David (knee) will play in Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

Impact David upgraded to full participation after two limited sessions this week, and he'll avoid missing his first game since 2018. The 30-year-old linebacker has been a fantastic IDP contributor this season, averaging 7.8 tackles per game and adding 1.5 sacks and three pass breakups through six contests.

Picks up injury David (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No injury designation for Week 6 David (knee) upgraded to full practice participation Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of Sirius XM Radio reports.

Impact David was able to practice in full after a pair of limited sessions, clearing up any questions about the standout linebacker's status for Sunday's game. He's still going strong in his ninth NFL season, with 39 tackles and an interception through five games.

Managing knee injury David (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact 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.

Impact 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. Through four games, David's 35 total tackles are second only to Devin White on the team, while his 26 solo stops currently set the pace for Tampa Bay.

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.

Impact 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 overall.

Another productive day in win David tallied nine tackles (six solo) and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact 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 even more comfortable in 2020 after getting a full year of experience operating in it under his belt.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Co-team-high tackle total in loss David compiled 11 tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 for loss, and was also credited with one quarterback hit in a 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Impact 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.
