TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside linebacker Lavonte David needs three to four weeks to recover from a low ankle sprain and will miss at least Thursday night's game at the Philadelphia Eagles, a source confirmed to ESPN on Monday.
Initial X-rays were negative for fractures, and an MRI on Monday revealed the sprain.
He suffered the injury late in the second quarter of the Bucs' 45-17 victory against the Miami Dolphins, when he got rolled up on by teammate Ndamukong Suh while blitzing Jacoby Brissett.
