The Bucs suffered a blow to their defense early in the first quarter after linebacker Devin White was ruled out for the rest of the game with a knee injury.
Devin White is OUT.

White was involved on the tackle on a Christian McCaffrey run play with 10:15 remaining in the first quarter. Soon after a lightning delay put both teams back inside the locker room, White was not out there on the field when play resumed.
In his place, Kevin Minter has been put in his role opposite of starting linebacker Lavonte David and has lead the Bucs in tackles to this point.
PewterReport.com has learned the injury to White is not an ACL.
Devin White has a knee sprain and it's NOT an ACL tear. #GoBucs will know more tomorrow after an MRI.
