David logged four tackles (three solo) and one forced fumble during the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
David played every single defensive snap for a second straight game (and sixth time of the season), but his four stops were his third-lowest of the 2025 campaign. The veteran linebacker is up to 70 combined stops through 10 regular-season games, and despite his low tackling output Sunday, he is on track to record 100-plus tackles for a fourth consecutive season, which would be the 12th time he's done so in his NFL career.

David supplied nine tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
David paced the Buccaneers in tackles for a second straight game after also setting the pace in the Week 8 win over the Saints before the bye. The veteran linebacker has consistently shaken off a lingering knee issue this season to play up to his usual standards, posting at least six tackles in five straight games and accruing 66 stops (31 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two passes defensed, including one interception and one fumble recovery over nine contests.

David (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran linebacker from Nebraska upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday, so it's no surprise he's suiting up for Sunday's divisional matchup. David has yet to miss a game this season, recording 47 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended over 445 defensive snaps. He's expected to remain Tampa Bay's top inside linebacker and defensive signal caller in the Week 8 contest.

David (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
David continues to have his practice reps limited while he works through a lingering knee injury. He should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Saints, but a full practice Friday would mean he would enter Week 8 without an injury designation. David has played nearly every single defensive snap through the first seven games of the regular season, and his 47 tackles is third most on the Buccaneers behind Tykee Smith (58) and SirVocea Dennis (52).

David (knee/ribs) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
David has seen his practice snaps limited during the season due to a lingering knee injury, though the rib injury is a new one for the veteran linebacker. His practice participation over the next two days will provide more clarity of his status heading into Sunday's game against New Orleans. David has logged 47 tackles (22 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and two pass defenses (one interception) through seven regular-season games.

David has had a solid start to the season, recording 47 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two pass defenses (including an interception) through seven games.

David (knee) is active for Monday night's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
David has been battling the knee issue for most of the regular season, but he's yet to miss a contest. Across six games this season, David has recorded 40 tackles (21 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and a pair of pass breakups, including one interception, on 99.7 percent of the Bucs' defensive snaps.

David (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
David has worked through a knee injury for much of the season, and he managed to practice in full Saturday after logging back-to-back DNPs to open the week. Given how the Buccaneers have limited David's practice snaps this season, the veteran linebacker should be cleared to play in Monday's road contest. In the event that he doesn't play or operates under a snap count on defense, Deion Jones would be the top candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside SirVocea Dennis.

David (knee) did not participate in Friday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
David has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a knee injury. He has been a regular on the Buccaneers' injury report this season, so he should have a good chance to play against the Lions on Monday unless he also misses Saturday's practice. David has 40 tackles (21 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and two pass defenses (one interception) through the first six games of the regular season.
