Will stay in Tampa Bay

Published: 2023-03-13

The Buccaneers and Dean have agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dean was selected by the Buccaneers in the third round of the 2019 Draft and quickly carved out a sizable role in Tampa Bay's secondary. Across his first four NFL seasons, he's totaled 197 tackles, 41 pass defenses, seven interceptions and one defensive touchdown, but he's missed at least one game due to injury in each of those campaigns. With his new contract with the team, Dean figures to remain a prominent member of the Buccaneers' defense for years to come.

Another multi-interception season

Published: 2023-01-24

Dean finished the 2022 regular season with 57 tackles (45 solo), two interceptions and six additional defensed passes across 15 games.

Dean recorded multiple interceptions for the third time in his first four seasons. while his tackle tally was the second highest of his career. Dean also conceded a sub-50.0 percent completion rate in primary coverage (45.0) for the second straight season, and his overall body of work should be solid enough to serve him well as he potentially heads to the open market at the start of the new league year.

Logs full practice Friday

Dean (toe) logged a full practice Friday but is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

After back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 18 prep, Dean logged a full practice Friday, but he's still considered questionable due to a lingering toe injury. The fourth-year cornerback missed back-to-back games with the toe issue before returning to action in Week 17 and playing all 61 of Tampa Bay's defensive snaps. Barring a setback, Dean will presumably suit up again Week 18.

Suiting up Sunday

Published: 2023-01-01

Dean (toe) is active Sunday against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Dean was able to log a full practice Friday, so his ability to play Week 17 shouldn't come as a surprise. After missing each of the team's last two games, his return should be a boon for the secondary, especially with Carlton Davis (shoulder) inactive.

Full practice Friday

Published: 2022-12-30

Dean (toe) logged a full practice Friday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Dean's ability to practice in full capacity bodes well for his chances to play in Week 17 against Carolina. The cornerback has missed the last two contests while nursing his toe injury, but with Carlton Davis (shoulder) doubtful to play this week, Dean's return would be a significant one. His status is worth monitoring as the game approaches, but all signs point to him making his return to the field versus the Panthers.

Limited participant at practice

Published: 2022-12-29

Dean (toe) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Dean has missed the last two games due to a toe injury, but it's been encouraging to see him practicing in a limited capacity ahead of Week 17. It's not yet clear whether he'll be cleared for game action Sunday against Carolina, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
