Britt (illness) was limited during practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Britt's illness didn't keep him off the field Wednesday, so it's likely not significant enough to keep him out Sunday against the Lions. His practice status in the days ahead will still be worth watching though to be certain whatever is ailing him doesn't get progressively worse.

Head coach Todd Bowles indicated Wednesday that Britt is ready to play all three downs and is becoming a leader on defense, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britt has also been grasping the mental part of the game according to coach Bowles. The 24-year-old recorded 29 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defensed last season. It looks like he will be in line for a bigger role in the upcoming campaign when he starts at inside linebacker next to Lavonte David.

Britt recorded 12 tackles (seven solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Britt was the surprise runner-up in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers, trailing only Lavonte David's 13 stops. The third-year pro's numbers were all the more surprising considering he filled a rotational role for the third time in as many pro seasons in 2023, posting 29 tackles (16 solo) and one defensed pass over 16 games. Britt, a 2021 fifth-round pick, heads into the final year of his rookie contract in 2024 and could have an inside track on replacing Devin White next season if the latter is allowed to walk in free agency.

Britt (calf) is active for Monday's wild card game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The backup inside linebacker missed the first practice of the week leading up to this game but participated fully in Saturday's session. Britt has 29 tackles and a pass defensed on 154 defensive snaps this season.

Britt (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Britt seems to be trending in the right direction to play in the wild-card round, as he's gone from opening the Buccaneers' week of practice with a DNP to a full session Saturday. If the 24-year-old is able to suit up Monday night, he'd likely serve as Tampa Bay's top reserve inside linebacker.

Britt (calf) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Britt was estimated as a DNP on Thursday, but he was able to participate in Friday's practice in a limited fashion. He missed the Bucs' Week 18 win over the Panthers after sustaining a calf injury during the lead-up to that game. Britt has operated as a depth inside linebacker and on special teams this season and has accumulated 29 tackles (16 solo) over 16 games.

Britt (calf) is inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale against Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Britt is dealing with a calf injury that surfaced late in the week and held him to a limited practice session Friday. Tampa Bay downgraded the linebacker from questionable to doubtful Saturday, and he will indeed miss Sunday's critical contest. Britt's allotment of defensive snaps may be absorbed by J.J. Russell against the Panthers.

Britt (calf) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year linebacker was a late addition to the Buccaneers' injury report, as he popped up as a limited participant in Friday's practice due to a calf issue. As it gets closer to Sunday, it seems increasingly likely that Britt won't be available for Tampa Bay. J.J. Russell could see increased opportunities as a reserve in the Buccaneers' linebacker corps if Britt is out in Week 18.

Britt is dealing with a calf injury and is questionable to play Sunday in Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Britt didn't have any injury concerns during the first two days of Week 18 prep but was a limited participant in practice Friday due to a calf injury. The third-year linebacker thus heads into the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Panthers. Britt has played a limited role on defense for most of the campaign, though he did step in to start in Weeks 14 and 15 when Devin White was out with an injury. If Britt is unable to suit up Sunday, J.J. Russell could see some work on defense.

Britt (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons. having been questionable going into the day.

EDGE Analysis

The linebacker had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but he never appeared likely to sit out Sunday after he closed Week 14 prep as a full practice participation. Though he'll likely continue to serve as a reserve linebacker and special-teams contributor, Britt may have more of an opportunity to contribute on defense while Devin White (foot) is inactive.
