With Devin White leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, K.J. Britt and SirVocea Dennis were set to compete for a key linebacker spot alongside Lavonte David. Dennis has made a strong impression early in the season, especially in a standout performance against the Detroit Lions.
However, Dennis suffered a shoulder injury in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, leading to his placement on injured reserve. This leaves Britt as the primary option, while the team has called up Antonio Grier and signed Kalen DeLoach to bolster their linebacker corps.
