Bucs Week 12 Thursday Injury Report: Three key defensive players remain out

There’s still one more day of practice left, but things aren’t looking good for both of Tampa Bay’s starting linebackers.

The Bucs could be in big trouble at the second level of the defense come Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released their injury report for Thursday, and three key defensive players — Linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White and cornerback Jamel Dean all did not participate in practice. If David and White can’t go, both of Tampa Bay’s starting linebackers would be out, paving the way for SirVocea Dennis and K.J. Britt to start alongside each other on Sunday. The secondary takes a hit with Dean out, too, and corner Carlton Davis has only been a limited participant in his first two days of practice this week.

Here’s what the injury report looks like for Thursday:

Colts’ three non-participants from Wednesday remain non-participants, but safety Rodney Thomas II and center Ryan Kelly became full participants Thursday.
