Lavonte David Suffers Low-Ankle Sprain
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) suffered a low-ankle sprain and will miss some time going forward. This means he will be inactive in Week 6 on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, and potentially another couple of weeks after that. X-rays came back negative as no fractures were shown, so the veteran dodged a bullet and avoided significant injury. Kevin Minter will take on a bigger role in David's absence, as the Tampa Bay defensive unit has been decimated by injuries to start the season. With the news of David being sidelined along with a banged-up secondary, there could be some more attractive defenses for fantasy managers to start in Week 6.
