Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Will play against San Francisco
David (knee) does not carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
David was limited in practice all week due to a lingering knee injury, but the veteran linebacker has been cleared to play in Sunday's home game. David is up to 34 total tackles through five regular-season games and is on pace to record a fourth straight 100-tackle season, which would be the 12th of his NFL career.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Limited Thursday
David (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Still nursing knee injury

David has managed lower-body injuries since training camp, though he's played in each of the first five games of the regular season and has logged 34 tackles (17 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass defenses (one interception).

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Clutch interception in Week 5 win
David logged nine tackles (five solo) and one interception during the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
David played every single defensive snap for the third time this season and finished tied with Jacob Parrish for most tackles on the Bucs. David made the play of the game for Tampa Bay late in the fourth quarter, when he jumped in front a Sam Darnold pass intended for Cooper Kupp. David's interception put the Buccaneers in Seahawks territory and ultimately led to Chase McLaughlin's game-winning, 39-yard field goal five plays later. David is showing no signs of slowing down in his 14th NFL season, and the 2012 first-rounder has opened the 2025 campaign with 34 tackles (17 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass defenses (including one interception) through five games.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Complete defensive effort Sunday
David recorded nine tackles (five solo), including one for loss, and an interception in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seahawks.
The elder statesman of the Buccaneers defense was in vintage form Sunday, sharing the team lead in tackles with Jacob Parrish and recording his first interception of the season at a critical moment. David got hold of a deflected Sam Darnold pass intended for Cooper Kupp at the Seahawks' 38-yard line with just under a minute remaining, setting Tampa Bay up in prime position for what would eventually be a game-winning field goal. The indefatigable David isn't showing any signs of slowing down early in his age-35 season, already posting three tallies of at least nine stops and playing every single defensive snap against Seattle.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Logs limited practice Thursday
David (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
David has opened the week with an LP-LP practice report due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Eagles. The veteran linebacker's practice participation Friday will indicate his chances of playing against the Seahawks on Sunday. Deion Jones and John Bullock would be candidates to start at inside linebacker Sunday if David is not cleared to play.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Limited Wednesday
David (knee) was considered to be a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report following the Buccaneers' walkthrough, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
David had a quiet performance in the team's 31-25 loss to Philadelphia in Week 4, compiling three total tackles (one solo). The linebacker was limited to open last week with a knee issue as well, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice to erase any concern over his availability Sunday in Seattle.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Practices in full Thursday
David (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
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.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Managing knee issue
David (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
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.

Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Posts prolific line Sunday
David racked up 11 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in a 29-27 Week 3 win against the Jets on Sunday.
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.
