  • Expected to be starter sans Barrett

    Nelson is expected to start at outside linebacker in the absence of Shaquil Barrett (Achilles), Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson has recorded two sacks across eight appearances this season, but he's in line for increased opportunities with Barrett sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 2019 fourth-round pick played a season-high 46 percent of Tampa Bay's defensive snaps during Thursday's loss to Baltimore, but he figures to finish around the 60-70 percent mark moving forward.

  • Notches second sack in Week 4

    Nelson tallied three tackles (one solo), including a sack, during the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Chiefs in Week 4.

    Analysis: The fourth-year linebacker logged a season-high 28 snaps and was productive with them, recording his first sack since Week 1 in the process. Nelson is slated to continue playing a rotational pass-rushing role that should yield him occasional QB takedowns, with a potential opportunity for more snaps if injuries strike in front of him. However, Scott Smith of the team's official site notes Nelson's presence on special teams is increasingly important, as he saw a season-high 28 snaps (out of a…read more

  • Records sack in Week 1 win

    Nelson tallied two tackles (one solo), including one sack, during the Buccaneers' 19-3 win over the Cowboys in Week 1.

    Analysis: Nelson is expected to have more pass-rushing opportunities this season with the Buccaneers having moved on from Jason Pierre-Paul, and the fourth-year linebacker encouragingly found a way to get to the quarterback right from the jump. Nelson flashed some upside in 2021 with five sacks in a part-time role, and given he now has 43 career games under his belt and no longer has Pierre-Paul impeding his path to playing time, the 25-year-old could be set to surpass last season's numbers.

  • Busy day in win

    Nelson tallied three tackles (all solo), including one sack and an additional tackle for loss, a defensed pass and a fumble recovery in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets in Week 17.

    Analysis: Nelson was in on 58 of the Buccaneers' 61 snaps on defense with Lavonte David (IR-foot) sidelined and made very good use of the opportunity, as evidenced by his full stat line. The third-year linebacker now has four sacks in part-time duty this season, and he could enjoy another robust role in the Week 18 finale against the Panthers.

  • Won't play Week 15

    Nelson (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Lions, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson is set to miss a sixth consecutive contest due to a lingering hamstring injury. As usual, the Buccaneers will rely on Carl Nassib, Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) at outside linebacker.

  • Remains out Week 14

    Nelson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson will be sidelined for his fifth straight game due to the hamstring injury. Carl Nassib, Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) should continue handling the bulk of the reps at outside linebacker.

  • Missing another game

    Nelson (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson will miss his fourth consecutive game due to the hamstring injury. Sam Acho figures to fill a reserve role at outside linebacker in Nelson's continued absence.

  • Ruled out Week 12

    Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Nelson (hamstring) will not suit up against the Falcons on Sunday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith is set to miss a third consecutive contest due to his lingering hamstring issue. With Carl Nassib (groin) and Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) both nursing injuries, it's possible that Sam Acho and Kahzin Daniels could see increased reserve work during Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.

  • Out again Sunday

    Nelson (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson hasn't practiced since suffering the hamstring injury Week 9 at Seattle and will miss his second straight game. Fellow OLB Carl Nassib (groin) was also ruled out, leaving Sam Acho and Kahzin Daniels to serve as reserve options behind Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul.

  • Out Week 10

    Nelson (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians indicated earlier in the week that Nelson is unlikely to play, so it's no surprise to see he won't be suiting up. Newly-signed Kahzin Daniels should serve as Shaq Barrett's backup at right outside linebacker in Nelson's absence.

  • Unlikely to play Week 10

    Nelson (hamstring), who missed practice Wednesday, is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals as per head coach Bruce Arians, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Nelson exited Sunday's overtime loss to the Seahawks after just six snaps from scrimmage and nine on special teams due to his hamstring injury. Arians mentioned Wednesday that Nelson would "probably" not be ready to face Arizona in Week 10, which could leave the just-signed Kahzin Daniels as the primary backup to Shaq Barrett at right outside linebacker versus the Cardinals.

  • Done for day

    Nelson (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against Seattle, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Following fellow edge-rusher Carl Nassib (groin) exiting the contest, the Buccaneers lost another one in the form of Nelson. It's unclear how Nelson picked up the injury, but it's not a good sign that it will force him to miss the remainder of the game. Kevin Minter could be in line to see increased snaps, and it's possible the team will have an update on Nelson's injury following the game or in the coming days.
