Source: Bucs LB Lavonte David has medial left ankle sprain, week-to-week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David has a medial left ankle sprain and will be "week-to-week," a source told ESPN Monday.

David was carted off the field late in the fourth quarter in the Bucs' 34-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. X-rays were negative for any fractures and the initial diagnosis was a more serious high ankle sprain. However, an MRI and further testing revealed it to be a medial sprain.

David will be in a walking boot the next few days. The Bucs were already without Kwon Alexander in Minnesota due to a hamstring injury, making a position they'd previously had a lot of depth in much thinner.
