Report: Bucs' David to miss at least 1 month with high ankle sprain
by from on (#336MP)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David sustained a high ankle sprain in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings that will keep him out for a month or longer, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
David had to be carted off the field and though he avoided serious injury, his absence will leave a big hole in the Buccaneers' defense.
Already without fellow linebacker Kwon Alexander and starting corner Brent Grimes for Sunday's contest due to injuries, the Bucs were dissected by Vikings backup quarterback Case Keenum in a 34-17 loss.
Tampa will have to turn to third-year pro Cameron Lynch in David's absence.
