Tampa Bay designated Dean (hamstring) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Dean has spent the Tampa Bay's last four games on injured reserve with a hamstring issue he picked up in Week 6 at New Orleans, but it now appears he's on track to come back soon. The Buccaneers will have 21 days to officially activate him before they would be forced to leave him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
Dean (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Dean was unable to practice all week and had been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Ravens after sustaining a hamstring injury the week prior. However, the Auburn product will now be forced to miss the Buccaneers' next four games after moving to IR, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 12 against the Giants. Expect Tyrek Funderburk and Josh Hayes to see increased work with Tampa Bay's first-team defense while Dean is sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Dean (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Dean suffered a hamstring injury during the Bucs' Week 6 win over the Saints. The injury was severe enough to keep him out of practice Thursday and Friday, and the 2019 third-round pick will miss his first game of the regular season. Tyrek Funderburk played 56 defensive snaps against New Orleans after Dean left, and the former should draw the start at corner opposite Zyon McCollum for Monday's contest.
Dean (hamstring) was unable to participate in Thursday's practice. Dean recorded just one solo tackle across 10 defensive snaps before exiting the Buccaneers' Week 6 win over the Saints early due to a hamstring injury. His absence at Thursday's practice indicates his status for Week 7 is up in the air. More clarity should come over the next few days, but Tyrek Funderburk and Josh Hayes would be candidates for more snaps should Dean be unable to play.
Dean (hamstring) will not return Sunday against the Saints. Dean had one solo tackle before exiting. His absence will be a blow to Tampa Bay's secondary for the remainder of the matchup, but it'll also be an opportunity for Tyrek Funderburk, who made the Buccaneers' 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State.
Dean tallied five tackles (three solo) and defensed two passes in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday. Dean had an active day from his cornerback spot, getting his hands on his second and third passes of the season and finishing third on the Bucs in tackles. While that came in the wake of back-to-back double-digit tackle efforts in Weeks 2 and 3, Dean has thus far provided fantasy managers with useful stat lines in each of his first four games.
Dean recorded 13 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Broncos. Dean was a busy man against Denver, leading the team with 13 takedowns in the contest. The cornerback has now produced double-digit tackles in back-to-back weeks after crossing that threshold just twice over 13 games in 2023. Through three contests in 2024, Dean has compiled 28 total tackles (20 solo) and a pass defensed.
Dean (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Dean was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to participate without restriction in Thursday' session. Barring any setbacks, the 2019 third-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Dean has registered 15 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defended over the first two games of the regular season.
Dean (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Dean was added to the Bucs' injury report Wednesday, and he'll have two more chances of increasing his practice participation leading up to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The 2019 third-round pick tied a career high with 10 combined tackles in Tampa Bay's Week 2 win over Detroit.
