Impact The veteran linebacker was, by his estimation, operating at about 60 percent capacity during the stretch run and playoffs last season due to the injury, which cost him the last three games of the regular campaign.

Team-leading tackle tally David recorded 11 tackles (seven solo), including one for loss and recovered a fumble during the Buccaneers' 30-27 divisional-round loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact David's tackle total paced the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and his recovery of a Cam Akers fumble at the Rams' 30-yard line helped set up Tampa Bay's eventual game-tying touchdown. David's season-ending performance capped off a solid campaign in which the veteran linebacker navigated five absences due to ankle and foot injuries to still post 97 tackles (63 solo), two sacks, three defensed passes, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery across 12 regular-season contests.

Good to go for divisional round David (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact David returned from a three-game absence due to the foot injury to play in Tampa Bay's wild-card win over the Eagles. His limited participation at practice throughout the week was likely just precautionary, as the star linebacker is expected to be full go Sunday. The last time these two teams met (Week 3), David played all 63 defensive snaps and recorded six solo tackles.

Limited again Thursday David (foot) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The linebacker has opened the week with consecutive limited efforts at practice. David's ability to participate both days bodes well for his chances to play in Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Rams, though his status at Friday's practice will provide a clearer indication of his availability.
