Dennis was considered doubtful coming into the day, so his inability to suit up doesn't come as a surprise. With Devin White (foot) and Lavonte David (groin) also inactive, the Buccaneers will be extremely thin at middle linebacker. K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell will both be called upon to step up in their absences.

Dennis was considered doubtful coming into the day, so his inability to suit up doesn't come as a surprise. With Devin White (foot) and Lavonte David (groin) also inactive, the Buccaneers will be extremely thin at middle linebacker. K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell will both be called upon to step up in their absences.
The rookie linebacker out of Pittsburgh hasn't practiced all week with this illness, and it's unlikely that he's able to suit up for Sunday's affair. Dennis has appeared in eight games for the Buccaneers thus far, logging 11 total tackles and primarily playing on special teams. Tampa Bay will likely be without both Dennis and Lavonte David (groin) in Week 13, meaning that K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell will have big shoes to fill in the team's linebacker corps.
With regular starting linebackers Lavonte David (groin) and Devin White (foot) already ruled out for Week 13, Dennis would figure to be Tampa Bay's best option at that position if he was able to suit up Sunday. If not though, 2021 fifth-rounder K.J. Britt is likely the next man up.
