Bucs' Yaya Diaby Suffers High Ankle Sprain During Practice

The standout linebacker is expected to miss the preseason but aims to return for the season opener against the Commanders.

Diaby was carted off the field after injuring his left ankle during a two-minute drill.
Tests revealed no fractures, only a high ankle sprain, with a typical recovery time of four to six weeks.
Head Coach Todd Bowles and General Manager Jason Licht expressed relief that the injury was not more severe.
Diaby led the team in sacks as a rookie and is anticipated to have a breakout second season.
Other players, including Anthony Nelson and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, will need to step up in Diaby's absence.
