Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Braswell (ankle) is day-to-day but could still suit up for Sunday Night Football against the Rams, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Braswell has been a part-time contributor on defense as part of the Buccaneers' linebacker corps, accumulating 20 tackles (14 solo) across 10 regular-season appearances. If he misses any time, Markees Watts (hand) will be in line for increased opportunities, health provided.

Braswell recorded four tackles (two solo) in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The 2024 second-round pick has had some eyes on him this summer, as he dropped weight in an effort to gain quickness and it seemed to translate well to the practice field in early camp practices. Braswell carried the momentum over into his first taste of game action, finishing tied for third in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers while playing on 31 snaps (54 percent). Braswell figures in for a rotational role once again in his second season, but if he can continue displaying an improved feel for coach Todd Bowles' scheme, he should be in line for a boost on the 308 defensive snaps he logged across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.

Braswell has looked quicker in training camp after some offseason weight loss and is also working on several other aspects of his game, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Todd Bowles noted Thursday that Braswell's weight loss was intended to translate to the field in terms of improved quickness, and that strategy seems to have worked. Braswell is "coming off the ball a lot faster" than last season according to Bowles, who also said he sees the 2024 second-round pick starting to let his talent take over due to increased comfort level with the defensive scheme. Braswell spent the offseason working with fellow pass rusher Yaya Diaby, and Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports Braswell has also been focusing on his sharpening his run defense and pass coverage drops.

Braswell recorded 18 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie second-round pick didn't come close to living up to expectations after finishing his college career at Alabama with 75 tackles, including 10.5 sacks, across 41 games. Braswell never topped four tackles in any game while playing 307 snaps in a rotational role, and he didn't record the first full sack of his career until Week 17 against the Panthers. Braswell posted just two total tackles and his fumble recovery from Week 15 through the wild-card loss to the Commanders, so he's heading into the offseason on a particularly sharp downturn.

Braswell recorded four tackles (all solo) in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie second-round pick had been a complete non-factor since Week 6, posting all of two solo tackles across 119 snaps over the six games prior to Sunday's interconference clash. However, Braswell reemerged with a new career-high tackle tally across 24 snaps (36 percent) against Las Vegas. Despite the solid showing, Braswell remains far off the IDP radar with only 16 tackles (10 solo), including 0.5 sacks, over his first 13 career games.

Braswell (oblique) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Braswell suffered an oblique injury during the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. Thanks to the additional rest due to the Week 11 bye, Braswell was able to practice Wednesday without limitations, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Giants on Sunday. The rookie second-round pick has logged 11 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, through 10 regular-season games.

Braswell (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Braswell suffered an oblique injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. With the game winding down, it's unclear if Braswell will return to the field even if he would be healthy enough to do so.
