Impact David landed on injured reserve ahead of Week 16, but the team has been hopeful that the linebacker will return to action for the playoffs. Although the 31-year-old was back at practice Wednesday, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

Hopeful for postseason The Buccaneers are hopeful David (foot) will be able to return for the playoffs, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

Impact David was placed on the IR prior to Week 16, so he would be eligible to return Wildcard Weekend, health provided. Kevin Minter has replaced him at inside linebacker opposite Devin White while he has been sidelined. The first step in activating this process would be for the Bucs to designate David for return following their regular-season finale versus the Panthers.

Moves to IR Tampa Bay placed David (foot) on injured reserve Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Multiple reports previously suggested that David would miss multiple games after he injured his foot in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints, and his move to IR now makes the matter official. He'll remain sidelined through the end of the regular season, with Tampa Bay presumably hopeful that three weeks of rest and recovery will be enough for David to be healthy in advance of a potential postseason run. Due to his early shutdown, David will fall just short of the 100-tackle mark -- he's recorded 97 in 12 games -- for only the second time in his 10 NFL seasons.

Likely to miss time David (foot) has a foot sprain that may keep him out for up to four weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact David suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' loss to the Saints on Sunday. The report adds that he could return in Week 18, and although he hasn't been ruled out for Sunday against the Panthers, it appears he is very doubtful to suit up. The former Pro-Bowler has been a force this season, with 97 tackles (63 solo), two sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a recovery in 12 games. His presence will certainly be missed on the Tampa Bay defense for whatever length of time he is out. K.J. Britt and Kevin Minter are the likeliest candidates that will be called upon to step up in David's place.

Impact David has now recorded eight-plus tackles in four of his last six games. The 31-year old has the second most tackles on the Tampa Bay defense and is on pace for 112 total tackles this year. The veteran linebacker's strong play goes far beyond the box score, as he is the vocal leader of this Tampa Bay defense.

Remains productive Sunday David totaled seven tackles (five solo), including one for loss, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Impact Just another day at the office for David, who's now compiled at least seven tackles in four consecutive games. The 31-year-old linebacker has only gotten to the quarterback once this season, but with 71 tackles through nine games, his average of 7.9 stops per contest is actually higher than that of either of his last two campaigns.
