Buccaneers Defense Getting Devin White Back
4 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated linebacker Devin White and defensive tackle Steve McLendon from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. They are both expected to play in the Divisional Round against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. White and McLendon have missed the last two games. Getting White back is huge, as the second-year linebacker has arguably been their best defensive player in 2020, recording a team-high 140 tackles while adding nine sacks and 15 tackles for loss. McLendon will also improve the Bucs pass rush against veteran Drew Brees and a high-scoring Saints offense. While Tampa's defense has been much improved this year, they won't have a ton of upside in what should be a high-scoring Divisional Round game this Sunday.
