Diaby suffered an ankle injury during practice Thursday and was carted off the field, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Diaby was unable to put weight on his leg, according to Auman, but fortunately, his X-rays came back clean, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The second-year-pro will still have to undergo an MRI later Thursday, so he's not fully out of the woods yet. If the injury is of any significance it'll be a fairly tough blow to the Bucs' defense, with Diaby expected to have a starting role in the team's linebacker unit coming off a strong rookie campaign.
