Back at practice Tuesday David (leg) returned to practice Tuesday and made several noteworthy plays during the day's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact David had missed all of last week, but he hit the ground running in his return Tuesday. The veteran linebacker delivered multiple big hits during the practice session, including knocking the ball loose from receiver Ryan Miller on a would-be catch. Given his apparent return to full health, David should be available for the Buccaneers' first preseason game Saturday night against the Titans, although he could well sit out the contest anyhow for precautionary reasons.

Managing leg injury and soreness David is day-to-day with a leg injury and soreness, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact David is 35 years old and entering his 14th NFL season, so there's no reason for the Bucs to push the veteran linebacker during training camp. He knows the defense and is coming off a 2024 campaign that saw David start all 17 regular-season contests, finishing with 122 tackles (76 solo), including 5.5 sacks, his most since 2017.
