INJURIES

Racks up nine tackles Monday Britt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed during Monday's 30-24 overtime loss at Kansas City.
Impact Despite rotating off the field more frequently than he had in other recent games, Britt still played 45 defensive snaps Monday, and he totaled six-plus tackles for the sixth time in his last seven outings. As long as he holds onto his starting spot, he'll remain on the IDP radar as the year continues.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Double-digit tackles vs. Falcons Britt recorded 10 total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Britt was the Buccaneers' leading-tackler in Sunday's loss, setting a new season high with 10 total stops. The fourth-year pro from Auburn has now tallied 49 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, through Tampa Bay's first eight games this year. He's expected to continue starting alongside Lavonte David (ankle) as part of the Buccaneers' top inside linebacker duo as the season progresses.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Six-tackle effort in loss Britt recorded six tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact Britt tied with several teammates for third in tackles on the afternoon. The fourth-year pro played on 35 snaps (51 percent) overall, and he's accrued a solid 15 tackles (10 solo) in his part-time role thus far.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
No restrictions Thursday Britt (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
Impact Britt was limited Wednesday due to an illness, but the 2021 fifth-round pick appears to have moved past that issue. He accrued five tackles (three solo) and played 42 snaps (38 on defense, four on special teams) in the Bucs' Week 1 win over the Commanders.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Under the weather Britt (illness) was limited during practice Wednesday.
Impact Britt's illness didn't keep him off the field Wednesday, so it's likely not significant enough to keep him out Sunday against the Lions. His practice status in the days ahead will still be worth watching though to be certain whatever is ailing him doesn't get progressively worse.

Ready for bigger role Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Britt is ready to become a three-down defensive player in 2024, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Britt has also demonstrated a better grasp of the mental part of the game, according to Bowles. The 24-year-old recorded 29 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defensed last season. He looks poised to take on a bigger role in the upcoming campaign, likely as a starter at inside linebacker next to Lavonte David.

Could return for wild card Britt (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Impact Britt seems to be trending in the right direction to play in the wild-card round, as he's gone from opening to Buccaneers' week of practice with a DNP to a full session Saturday. If the 24-year-old is able to suit up Monday night, he'd likely serve as Tampa Bay's top reserve inside linebacker.

Lands on injury report Friday Britt is dealing with a calf injury and is questionable to play Sunday in Carolina.
Impact Britt didn't have any injury concerns during the first two days of Week 18 prep but was a limited participant in practice Friday due to a calf injury. The third-year linebacker thus heads into the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Panthers. Britt has played a limited role on defense for most of the campaign, though he did step in to start in Weeks 14 and 15 when Devin White was out with an injury. If Britt is unable to suit up Sunday, J.J. Russell could see some work on defense.
