Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Yaya Diaby suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in Sunday's 16-0 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Diaby sustained the injury in the first quarter. He is expected to miss time but should be back within a matter of weeks, the source told Rapoport.

Diaby has three sacks, six QB hits, six tackles for loss and an interception in eight games this season.

Selected in the third round of the 2023 draft by the Bucs, he has 22 sacks in his career.

The Buccaneers improved to 3-5 with their victory. After starting the season 0-4, the Buccaneers are just a half-game behind the first-place Carolina Panthers (3-4) in the NFC South standings.
