Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Won't play Saturday
Dean (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Panthers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The 29-year-old corner didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his third game of the season Saturday. Dean is a crucial part of the Buccaneers' secondary, recording 46 total tackles, nine passes defensed, including three interceptions, and two forced fumbles across 14 appearances this season. Expect Benjamin Morrison, Josh Hayes and Kindle Vildor to operate as Tampa Bay's top boundary cornerbacks while Dean is sidelined in Week 18, a matchup the Buccaneers must win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Back-to-back DNPs to open week
Dean (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
Dean sustained a shoulder injury during the Buccaneers' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins. He did not work in Tuesday's walkthrough nor in Wednesday's practice, so his participation in Thursday's session will shed clarity on his chances of playing against the Panthers on Saturday. Kindle Vildor could draw the start at outside corner if Dean is unable to play.

Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Will play Week 13
Dean (hip) is active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Dean missed the Buccaneers' last two games due to a hip injury.

Dean has posted 28 tackles (24 solo), six pass defenses (two interceptions and a pick-six) and two forced fumbles through nine regular-season games.

Dean (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Dean missed the Buccaneers' last two games due to a hip injury, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to return Sunday against the Cardinals.

The Auburn product is now in line to miss his second game of the season after sustaining a hip injury in the Week 11 loss to the Bills. Dean is an integral part of Tampa Bay's secondary, recording 28 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and six passes defensed, with three interceptions, over just nine appearances this season.
