69 Demar Dotson T

Dotson (shoulder/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest with the Redskins, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Dotson's practice status indicates that he was likely to play Sunday. The 33-year-old didn't practice Wednesday, logged a limited session Thursday and practiced in full Friday. Dotson's improvement was enough to keep him from having an injury designation.

Dotson (shoulder/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

Dotson's status represented an improvement over Wednesday's, when he'd been a non-participant to open the practice week ahead of the Week 10 tilt against the Redskins. The veteran's spotty practice schedule appears to be primarily maintenance-related, with Friday's final injury report likely to offer further clarity on his prospects for suiting up versus Washington.

Dotson has been managing a knee issue throughout the season, but the shoulder injury doubles up his number of issues as the Bucs enter the second half of their season. The team will likely continue to be cautious with the veteran offensive lineman, and it's quite possible he doesn't log any practice participation until Friday's session.

Dotson (knee) is absent from Friday's injury report, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Dotson has played through lingering knee issues all season, and the veteran lineman's Week 7 status does not appear to have ever been in question. Expect Dotson to suit up against the Browns' considerable defensive front Sunday.

This could be part for the course for Dotson moving forward, as he's followed a routine of limited participation and sported a questionable designation on multiple weeks already this season. The veteran lineman continued to log a full complement of snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Falcons, so there's no reason to think his Week 7 status is currently in any jeopardy.
