Dean will miss at least one game due to the ankle injury he suffered during last Sunday's loss to the 49ers. His next chance to take the field will come Week 13 versus the Panthers, but at least until then, Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney will stand to see an uptick in defensive snaps.

Dean will miss at least one game due to the ankle injury he suffered during last Sunday's loss to the 49ers. His next chance to take the field will come Week 13 versus the Panthers, but at least until then, Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney will stand to see an uptick in defensive snaps.
Neal is expected to miss some time with an ankle injury he picked up in last Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Dee Delaney would figure to be next up at cornerback for Tampa Bay if Dean does indeed miss this week's game versus the Colts.
Dean underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. The Auburn product may face an uphill battle suiting up Sunday against the Colts, but he should currently be considered questionable for the matchup at this point in the week.
The Bucs lost both Dean and fellow starting cornerback Carlton Davis (hip) to injuries in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Both will need MRIs. Dean has dealt with shoulder, neck and concussion issues in 2023 but has missed just one game. The Bucs travel to Indy to face the Colts in Week 12.
Dean went down with a pair of injuries and he will now remain on the sidelines until the contest's conclusion. In his place, Dee Delaney and Zyon McCollum will continue to see increased workloads.
Dean is dealing with a pair of injuries and he was forced out of Sunday's game as a result. In his absence, Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney will be recipients of added usage in Tampa Bay's secondary.
The 27-year-old was evaluated for a concussion after a collision with Nico Collins on the wideout's touchdown catch, and he failed to record a stat before his injury. Zyon McCollum is expected to have an increased workload in the Buccaneers' secondary with Dean missing the rest of today's game.
Dean finished fourth in tackles while tying his second-highest tally in that category this season. Dean's pair of defensed passes also marked his first time getting his hands on the ball this season, which, when combined with the 66.7 percent completion rate he's allowed in primary coverage, helps explain why he's on pace for a career-high 107 stops.
