Dennis recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions. Dennis was a busy man once again in Week 2, securing double-digit stops for the first time in his career. The linebacker played 44 of the team's 85 total defensive snaps in the contest. Dennis has now compiled 17 total tackles (11 solo) through two games in 2024, already surpassing the 13 tackles he produced over 13 contests in his rookie campaign in 2023.

Dennis recorded seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders in Week 1. Dennis finished as the second-leading tackler behind safety Jordan Whitehead, and he impressively racked up his solid tackle total on just 19 snaps from scrimmage. The second-year pro, a fifth-round pick in 2023, played on only 96 snaps during his rookie campaign, but Dennis projects for a larger role this season following the offseason departures of Devin White and Shaquil Barrett.

Dennis (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Dennis missed time in August due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's returned just in time for the Buccaneers' regular-season opener Sunday. With Dennis back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of Tampa Bay's top rotational inside linebackers in 2024.

Dennis (undisclosed) did not practice Friday, Greg Auman of FOXSports.com reports. There wasn't an official reason provided for Dennis' absence, but it would appear to be a minor injury. The second-year pro is primed to take on a bigger role in 2024 after logging 101 snaps on defense as a rookie across 13 regular-season games. Dennis recorded a modest 13 tackles (11 solo) in that span, but he came out of the University of Pittsburgh with a well-earned reputation as a disruptive defender that recorded 36 tackles for loss over his last 35 college games.

Dennis (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session. Dennis missed Week 13 against the Panthers due to an illness that held him out of practice all week. His return to practice Wednesday indicates that he is over his ailment and, barring any setbacks, should return for Sunday's NFC South clash against the Falcons.
