Kevin Minter on Relationship with Cyril Grayson, Defensive Culture ' Press Conference Linebacker Kevin Minter spoke to the media on Wednesday ahead of week 18 vs. the Carolina Panthers.
Five stops in start Minter totaled five tackles (three solo) in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets in Week 17.
Impact Minter played on 93 percent of the defensive snaps (57) during the narrow win, checking in tied for second in tackles with cornerback Pierre Desir. The veteran has posted five stops apiece in each of the last two games while helping prop up the Buccaneers' depleted linebacker corps, and he could be in for another expanded role Week 18 versus the Panthers.

Notches sack in start Minter totaled five tackles (four solo), including a sack, during the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers in Week 16.
Impact Minter's inclusion into the starting lineup in place of Lavonte David (IR-foot) was largely a success, with the veteran linebacker logging his second-highest snap count of the campaign and recording his first sack along the way. The 31-year-old could continue to serve as a solid IDP option over the final two games of the regular season with matchups against the mistake-prone Jets and Panthers offenses on tap.

Impact Minter has typically seen most of his action on special teams this season while serving as the No. 3 inside linebacker behind Devin White and David, who rarely leaves the field on defense when healthy. Tampa Bay could rotate multiple players alongside White while David is out, but Minter projects to see the overwhelming share of the vacated snaps, which should translate to plenty of opportunities to record tackles.

Lands on COVID list The Buccaneers placed Minter on the reserve/COVID 19 list Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official website reports.
Impact Minter will not count against the Bucs' 53-man roster while he is sidelined. To go along with his special teams contribution, he is the primary reserve behind starting linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White. If he ultimately misses Week 3, look for K.J. Britt to be the primary depth at inside linebacker.

Impact Minter either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person.

Minter's role will drop off significantly regardless, as Devin White will return to this lineup this week.

Paces team in tackles Minter provided nine tackles (six solo) and defensed a pass in the Buccaneers' 44-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact The veteran linebacker did a solid job while stepping in for Devin White (reserve/COVID-19), pacing the team in tackles in the big victory. Minter appeared in all 16 games for the Buccaneers this season, but the overwhelming bulk of his game action had come on special teams until he logged a whopping 72 snaps Sunday. Minter finished the regular season with 15 tackles (10 solo) and the defensed pass against the Falcons, but he'll be right back out there again in Saturday night's wild-card matchup against Washington with White already ruled out for that contest as well.
