The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing challenges at the linebacker position ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs.
Star linebacker Lavonte David missed his second consecutive practice due to an ankle and chest injury, raising concerns about his availability. If he can't play, K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell will fill in, although Russell's previous performance was underwhelming.
On a positive note, Tykee Smith participated in practice without a non-contact jersey, indicating progress for the upcoming game.
