A knee sprain could force him to miss a short amount of time, but it is major sigh of relief for Tampa Bay. They simply could not afford to lose White long-term. He may be a rookie, but he is already a major impact player for the Bucs.

Through the first two games of the season, White has racked up eight total tackles. He hasn't put up massive numbers yet, but he has been showing flashes of big-time potential.

Tampa Bay is currently 1-1 after the big win over the Panthers and have a good chance to improve to 2-1 at home against the New York Giants next week. Bruce Arians and company may not be stirring up much hype, but they are a a team to keep an eye on if they can get a run going.
