Buccaneers' K.J. Britt: Racks up nine tackles Monday
Britt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed during Monday's 30-24 overtime loss at Kansas City.
Despite rotating off the field more frequently than he had in other recent games, Britt still played 45 defensive snaps Monday, and he totaled six-plus tackles for the sixth time in his last seven outings. As long as he holds onto his starting spot, he'll remain on the IDP radar as the year continues.

Buccaneers' K.J. Britt: Ready for bigger role
Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Britt is ready to become a three-down defensive player in 2024, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Britt has also demonstrated a better grasp of the mental part of the game, according to Bowles. The 24-year-old recorded 29 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defensed last season. He looks poised to take on a bigger role in the upcoming campaign, likely as a starter at inside linebacker next to Lavonte David.

Buccaneers' K.J. Britt: Breaks out in divisional-round loss
Britt recorded 12 tackles (seven solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Britt was the surprise runner-up in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers, trailing only Lavonte David's 13 stops. The third-year pro's numbers were all the more surprising considering he filled a rotational role for the third time in as many pro seasons in 2023, posting 29 tackles (16 solo) and one defensed pass over 16 games. Britt, a 2021 fifth-round pick, heads into the final year of his rookie contract in 2024 and could have an inside track on replacing Devin White next season if the latter is allowed to walk in free agency.

Buccaneers' K.J. Britt: Could return for wild card
Britt (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Britt seems to be trending in the right direction to play in the wild-card round, as he's gone from opening the Buccaneers' week of practice with a DNP to a full session Saturday. If the 24-year-old is able to suit up Monday night, he'd likely serve as Tampa Bay's top reserve inside linebacker.
