Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Endures injury-plagued season
Dean (knee) finished the 2024 regular season with 59 tackles (45 solo), seven defensed passes, including one interception, and a forced fumble across 12 games.
Dean played a career-low 12 games in 2024 while dealing with injuries to his hamstring and both knees. He aggravated a late-season knee issue in the Buccaneers' wild-card loss to the Commanders after playing 46 snaps and tallying four tackles and a defensed pass. When healthy, Dean was serviceable in coverage, recording his first interception since 2022 while bringing down the completion percentage he allowed in primary coverage from 2023's 61.2 percent to 56.6 percent and surrendering just one touchdown. Dean should have a good chance of being back to full health by the start of OTAs, and as long as the Buccaneers don't opt to exercise an out in Dean's contract that would lead to a $6.8 million dead cap hit, he'll return for the third year of his current deal in 2025.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Done for rest of Sunday
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.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Active for wild-card round
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.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Officially questionable
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 managed an 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.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Still tending to injury
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 to solidify his chances of suiting up for Sunday's wild-card game against the Commanders.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Out for Week 18
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.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Doesn't practice Wednesday
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 is not cleared to play.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Aggravates knee issue Sunday
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.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Ready for Sunday
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.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Managing injuries to both knees
Dean was a limited practice participant Thursday due to issues with his both his knees.
It's unclear when the dual knee injuries popped up, as Dean wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice-report estimation. The veteran cornerback previously dealt with a minor knee issue that didn't cost him any time in late September, though he did spend four games on IR due to a hamstring issue for parts of October and November. It's not yet certain if Dean is at any risk of missing Sunday's Week 17 clash against Carolina, but the Buccaneers can ill afford another absence in their already depleted secondary.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Snags first INT since '22
Dean recorded three tackles (two solo), an interception and an additional pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Dean snapped a near two-season interception drought -- his last regular-season pick came in Week 2 of the 2022 season -- when he snagged a Justin Herbert deep shot intended for Quentin Johnston with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter. The INT was also significant since it snapped Herbert's streak of 335 consecutive pass attempts without a pick, and it ultimately led to a Mike Evans 35-yard touchdown grab. Dean is now just eight tackles shy of eclipsing the career-high 62 he generated back in 2020, although he's only totaled as many as five once in the last five contests.
