The Buccaneers received some good news in the form of linebacker Lavonte David’s health. David, who had a minor knee procedure to address a meniscus tear, has been medically cleared to return.
The tandem of David and rookie Devin White in the interior of the linebacking corps is expected to be a formidable one. Add to that the impact second year player Jack Cichy had in preseason and the outside presences of Carl Nassib, Deone Bucanon, Shaq Barrett, and Jason Pierre-Paul (once he returns) and this has the makings of one of the best linebacker corps in the league.
