Report: “Spectator” David At Today’s Practice
November 21st, 2014
UPDATED: 1:18 p.m. — The latest from One Buc Palace sure makes it seem like the Bucs will have to find a way to win Sunday without Lavonte David, the NFL leader in tackles.
TampaBay.com Bucs beat writer Greg Auman shared the grim news via Twitter.
Bucs LB Lavonte David again a spectator at practice today. Major question now whether he can go Sunday at Bears.

Rarely does any player miss a Friday practice, which is always light, and then play on Sunday. It’s even more rare when his team is 2-8.
Joe would expect to see Danny Lansanah fill David’s role and Dane Fletcher start at strong side linebacker.
UPDATE: 1:18 p.m., via Buccaneers staff writer Scott Smith.
Lavonte David was held out today and will be a game-time decision Sunday.

I said this when he was limited early in the week. If he’s hurt at all sit him down. His toughness will never be questioned. This shouldn’t even be a tough decision

It would be a shame though if he doesn’t make the probowl because his stats fall behind after missing a game. They’ll find any reason to keep him out, last year shows us that!

Brooks never missed a game during his 14-season career in which he established himself as the cornerstone for what was considered one of the NFL’s best defenses for a decade.”
There goes one of our comparisons…
