Dean (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's NFC wild-card game against the Commanders, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Dean was forced to exit the game in the second half versus Washington with a knee injury. It's unclear if he aggravated his previous knee injury or if he suffered a new one. In Dean's absence, Josh Hayes has taken over as one of Tampa Bay's starting cornerbacks.
Dean (knee) is active for Sunday night's NFC wild-card game versus Washington. Dean will give it a go Sunday after missing the team's regular-season finale against the Saints in Week 18 with a knee injury. The cornerback will be tasked with trying to slow down Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin, along with the rest of the Commanders' passing attack, in the wild-card round.
Dean (knee) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's home NFC wild-card game against Washington. Dean missed Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against the Saints due to a knee injury, but he's managed a LP-LP-FP practice pattern heading into wild-card action. If the starting cornerback is cleared to suit up, he'll provide a notable boost for Tampa Bay's secondary versus Jayden Daniels and the Commanders. Head coach Todd Bowles said Dean is expected to play, per Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site.
Dean (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report. Dean was unable to suit up for Week 18's matchup with the Saints, but his return to practice could have him trending in the right direction. He may need to ramp up his activity Thursday or Friday though to solidify his chances of suiting up for Sunday's wild-card game against the Commanders.
Dean (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Dean missed four games on injured reserve in the middle of the season due to a hamstring issue, but he suffered a knee injury last Sunday versus Carolina and will now miss an important Week 18 date with a playoff spot on the line for Tampa Bay. Josh Hayes figures to draw the start at cornerback opposite Zyon McCollum in Dean's absence.
Dean (knee) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report. Dean aggravated a knee injury during the Buccaneers' Week 17 win over the Panthers. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against New Orleans on Sunday. Josh Hayes would be in line to serve as the Bucs' second starting outside corner opposite Zyon McCollum if Dean was not cleared to play.
Dean (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. The cornerback dealt with issues to both knees throughout the week but was able to suit up anyway. Dean recorded a solo tackle and a pass breakup before leaving the game. Josh Hayes is his backup.
Dean (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 17 game against The Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Dean managed issues to both knees throughout the week but entered Sunday without an injury designation. However, he is dealing with a problem with at least one of his knees again and was deemed questionable to return just after halftime in the contest against Carolina. Josh Hayes started at cornerback to begin the second half.
Dean (knees) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Dean popped up on the Buccaneers' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to knee issues, but it now appears he's recovered in time for Sunday's divisional matchup. With Dean back at full health, he's projected to start opposite Zyon McCollum as part of Tampa Bay's top outside cornerback duo in Week 17.
