David recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
David was limited to three or fewer tackles for the second time this year after having just two such occasions over 17 regular-season games last year. The linebacker has now compiled 25 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over four games this season.

David (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
David popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a knee injury, but the veteran linebacker's ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should be available to play against the Eagles on Sunday. David has 22 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defense through three games, and he's on pace for a fourth-straight 100-tackle season.

David (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
David has played at least 98 percent of defensive snaps in all three of Tampa Bay's games this season, so this could be a way for the team to limit his reps. His participation later in the week should provide a better indication of his availability for a Week 4 matchup against the Eagles.

David racked up 11 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in a 29-27 Week 3 win against the Jets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
David led the Bucs in tackles while reaching the double-digit mark for the first time this season. The veteran linebacker also recorded a fourth-quarter sack of Tyrod Taylor, and though David briefly exited due to an injury after that play, he was able to re-enter the contest after missing just two defensive snaps. David has 22 stops, including 1.5 sacks, through three games this season.

David registered two tackles (one solo), including 0. 5 sacks, during Tampa Bay's win over the Texans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
David had a solid outing Monday as he combined with Erik Roberts to bring down C.J. Stroud for one of the Buccaneers' three sacks of the game. David has racked up over one hundred tackles in 11 of his previous 13 seasons and will look to produce similar numbers throughout the remainder of the current campaign.

David logged nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
David finished fourth on the Bucs in stops, as the team had three players hit the double-digit mark. Among the linebacker's tackles was one that went for a loss, and he also registered a QB hit. David has reached triple-digit tackles in seven of his past eight seasons and is off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again this year.

David (leg) returned to practice Tuesday and made several noteworthy plays during the day's session, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
David had missed all of last week's on-field work, 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.

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

David and the Buccaneers agreed on a one-year, $10 million contract with $9 million guaranteed Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
David will return to Tampa Bay for a 14th season with the team in 2025. The linebacker is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he compiled 122 total tackles (76 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed, one of which was an interception, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games. Since entering the NFL in 2012, David leads all players with 1,111 total tackles, and he'll now look to help lead the Bucs to the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.

David posted 122 tackles (76 solo), including 5.5 sacks, six defensed passes, including his first interception since the 2020 season, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
David was his usual stalwart self while playing in every regular-season game for the second time in the last three seasons, and he also totaled eight tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 68 snaps in the wild-card loss to the Commanders. The seemingly ageless linebacker played the 2024 campaign on a one-year, $8.5 million contract, and given he's still clearly productive at age 34, it wouldn't be surprising to see David re-up with the Buccaneers yet again, even if it's just for another season.
