Dean notched 10 tackles (seven solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions. Dean's 10 combined tackles tied a career high he established in Week 6 of last season, while his pass defended was his first of the season. The Auburn product's performance pushed his season total to 15 combined tackles with a Week 3 matchup against the Broncos on deck.

Dean totaled five tackles (four solo) during the Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders in Week 1. Dean enjoyed a solid game out of his left cornerback spot, helping limit Commanders receivers to just seven total receptions for 55 yards. The veteran failed to record an interception for the first time in his career last season, but he also posted the second-highest tackle total (61) of his first five seasons.

Dean (back) participated in practice Thursday, Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times reports. The starting cornerback suffered a back injury during Tampa Bay's divisional-round playoff loss to Detroit. Dean finished the 2023 regular season with 61 tackles, four passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. The sixth-year pro is slated for a starting role again in 2024.

Dean recorded 10 tackles (nine solo), including one for loss, and broke up a pass in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night. Dean recorded twice as many tackles as the next-closest teammate in that category, Lavonte David. The cornerback was kept extremely busy on a night in which Jalen Hurts was forced to the air for 35 pass attempts, and although Dean gave up his share of completions, it helped lead to a highly productive IDP performance thanks to the tackling opportunities. Dean and his secondary mates should have their hands full trying to keep up with Amon-Ra St. Brown and the rest of the Lions' pass catchers in Sunday afternoon's divisional-round battle at Ford Field.

Dean (ankle) was considered to be a limited participant at the Buccaneers' walkthrough Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports. Dean has been unavailable for three games in a row while nursing an ankle injury, but Wednesday's status is a promising sign for a potential return in Week 15. The cornerback will have two more practice sessions to increase his participation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.
