Bucs Week 14 Injury Report: Key Bucs player back in action

Five Bucs did not participate in practice on Wednesday, but one big defensive player was a full participant.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers still have injury problems, but one big player is back in the fold after missing the last two games.

Linebacker Lavonte David was listed as a full participant in practice (despite it being a walkthrough) and head coach Todd Bowles said that David is officially “back” after his injury. Unfortunately, there are still problems — cornerback Josh Hayes (illness), linebacker J.J. Russell (personal matter), defensive lineman Vita Vea (toe) and linebacker Devin White (foot) were non-participants. CB Jamel Dean remains out with his ankle injury.

Here is what the first injury report of the game week looks like:

Of the Falcons players who aren’t resting, offensive lineman Drew Dalman (ankle), LB Nate Landman (knee), OL Kaleb McGary (knee) and DL David Onyemata (ankle) did not participate.
