Hurts ankle in Week 13 Britt suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's contest at Carolina.
Impact Before exiting in the second quarter, Britt didn't make a mark in the box score for the Buccaneers. If he's unable to return to action, it'll mark his first game of the campaign without a tackle. Through 11 appearances, Britt ranged from three to 10 tackles in a given outing.

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.

Double-digit tackles vs. Falcons Britt recorded 10 total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Falcons.

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.

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.

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.
JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Will not return Britt (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Impact Britt's injury is one of many crippling the Buccaneers' depth at inside linebacker, which now has J.J. Russell as the only healthy body at the position. Ryan Neal has moved up to chip in at the position for now.
