The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are likely to get back star linebacker Devin White against the Green Bay Packers this weekend in a marquee matchup. White missed the last two games with a foot injury. He missed practice on Wednesday but was a full participant in practice on Thursday for Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers will be getting one of its best defensive players back onto the field and this is a good thing for them. Tampa Bay’s defense has been up and down this season. White has recorded 69 tackles, two sacks, one interception, and three pass deflections so far this season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In the last game, he appeared in against the Indianapolis Colts, White recorded seven tackles on 11/26. That was a game they lost 27-20.
The Green Bay Packers Offense Will Need to Account for Tampa Bay Buccaneers Linebacker Devin White on Sunday
White should also be good to practice on Friday and that would mean he would be on track to play on Sunday against the Packers. Devin White is one of those linebackers that can wreck a football game in an instant and he is also a tackling machine. The Packers offense will need to see where he is on the field at all times.
Yes, Tampa Bay’s defense can be scored on because it has been up and down this season. This is a big game for both teams and Devin White needs to get back onto the football field. K.J. Britt has started in his place over the last two games for White.
If for some reason he wasn’t able to go again on Sunday, Britt would start in his place once again. Tampa Bay has a big injury report heading into this matchup and Green Bay is also dealing with injuries of their own. No one is usually healthy at this time of the year and everyone is dealing with injuries. Devin White playing on Sunday would be huge for the Buccaneers.
