The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense may be forced to fill a key void, as linebacker Lavonte David left the team's game Sunday due to an ankle injury.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the team believes the injury is a high ankle sprain, although Monday's MRI should provide a more accurate timeline.
David made seven tackles before being carted off the field in the fourth quarter of a 34-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bucs selected David in the second round of the 2012 draft, and he quickly emerged as one of the most impactful linebackers in the league.
