Logs limited practice Thursday David (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact David has opened the week with an LP-LP practice report due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Eagles. The veteran linebacker's practice participation Friday will indicate his chances of playing against the Seahawks on Sunday. Deion Jones and John Bullock would be candidates to start at inside linebacker Sunday if David is not cleared to play.

Limited Wednesday David (knee) was considered to be a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report following the Buccaneers' walkthrough, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact David had a quiet performance in the team's 31-25 loss to Philadelphia in Week 4, compiling three total tackles (one solo). The linebacker was limited to open last week with a knee issue as well, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice to erase any concern over his availability Sunday in Seattle.

Practices in full Thursday David (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact David popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a knee injury, but the veteran linebacker's ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should be available to play against the Eagles on Sunday. David has 22 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defense through three games, and he's on pace for a fourth-straight 100-tackle season.

Managing knee issue David (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Impact David has played at least 98 percent of defensive snaps in all three of Tampa Bay's games this season, so this could be a way for the team to limit his reps. His participation later in the week should provide a better indication of his availability for a Week 4 matchup against the Eagles.
