TAMPA — The Bucs are preparing to face the Giants on Sunday without top LBs Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander, who remain sidelined with ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively.
Both missed practice again Wednesday.
Defensive coordinator Mike Smith said rookie Kendell Beckwith, a third-round draft pick from LSU, would be given the helmet transmitter and responsible for calling the defense.
