Lansanah worked as the first-team middle linebacker during Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The 30-year-old interestingly received first crack at reps at the Mike in the wake of Kwon Alexander's suspension, with Bruce Carter (concussion) manning Lansanah's customary strongside spot in Wednesday's session. Lansanah has amassed 41 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and a pair of passes defensed over 263 defensive snaps this season, and started two games at middle linebacker in 2014. He also flashed some playmaking ability during those opportunities, snagging three interceptions and returning two for touchdowns. Thursday's practice report should yield further insight into whether he's likely to start in the middle versus the Falcons in Week 14.
