Russell recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The reserve linebacker comfortably led the Buccaneers in tackles while logging a unit-high 48 snaps on defense. Russell was able to make his first six NFL regular-season appearances as an undrafted rookie a year ago, recording six tackles across 44 snaps from scrimmage while also seeing another 145 snaps on special teams. Russell recorded 15 tackles overall this preseason, and he may have certainly earned his way onto the roster again as a rotational option with a chance to see more playing time this coming season.

Russell (hamstring) won't travel to Germany for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich, effectively ruling him out for Week 10 action, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Russell, who played in each of Tampa Bay's previous two games strictly on special teams, will be held out of the team's Week 10 contest versus Seattle due to an apparent hamstring issue. His next chance to suit up won't come until after the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye, when the team travels to Cleveland the following Sunday.
