Bucs LB Yaya Diaby returns to practice following anke injury

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have no questions about their offense. Their defense will, though, have some to answer in 2024. The pass rush will be asked to help cover up some deficiencies at cornerback and pass coverage. Among those who have proved effective in that area is linebacker Yaya Diaby, who has been out since August 1 with an ankle injury.

Thankfully, he chose the Monday of Week 1 to return to practice to give everyone a sign of relief.

Greg Auman of Fox Sports reported the news when he shared an image of Diaby from the Bucs practice on Monday. His return comes less than a week before the Buca face off against the Washington Commanders and their new rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels.

Having a reliable pass rusher against the Commanders will be vital to the Buc’s success. The Commanders will have a new look on both sides of the ball, being able to control at least one of them could lead to a victory.
