Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Missing rest of regular season
Coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Dennis (shoulder) won't be available again in 2024 unless the Buccaneers reach the playoffs, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Dennis recently underwent surgery to address a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 4 versus the Eagles, and it now looks like he could be sidelined until 2025. In his absence, K.J. Britt figures to continue to play a near-every down role at inside linebacker next to Lavonte David.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: To be evaluated week-to-week
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Allen (shoulder), who was placed on IR on Tuesday, will have his status evaluated week-to-week, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Dennis' placement on IR rules him out until at least Week 9, making his earliest possible return date Nov. 4 versus the Chiefs, but it sounds like the severity of the second-year pro's injury could require him to remain sidelined longer. Allen also said that Dennis dealt with a shoulder injury during summer practices and was "touch-and-go." K.J. Britt played 94 percent of defensive snaps during Thursday's loss to the Falcons with Dennis sidelined.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Placed on IR with shoulder injury
The Buccaneers placed Dennis on injured reserve Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that the shoulder injury Dennis sustained during Sunday's win over the Eagles was "pretty bad," per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Dennis will now be required to miss at least the next four games of the regular season, which would put his earliest return date at Week 9 against the Chiefs on Nov. 4, though the severity of the injury could force the 2023 fifth-round pick to sit beyond the minimum window. K.J. Britt saw an uptick in defensive snaps at inside linebacker after Dennis went down in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and the former should slide into the starting role alongside Lavonte David moving forward.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: May have significant injury
Head coach Todd Bowles stated Monday that Dennis hurt his shoulder "pretty bad" in Sunday's win over the Eagles, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Dennis exited in the second quarter of the Week 4 matchup and was unable to return to the game. It's not clear that he will, but likely safe to assume the second-year pro will undergo some imaging to diagnose the injury. With the Buccaneers on a short week and traveling to Atlanta for a Thursday matchup, Dennis may be closer to doubtful than questionable, but more details won't be known until the team releases its first injury report for the week.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Will not return
Dennis (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Dennis' inability to return will be a blow to Tamp Bay's linebacker corps. In his continued absence, K.J. Britt will likely see an uptick in snaps in the second half of Week 4.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Exits game with shoulder injury
Dennis is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a shoulder injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Dennis walked off the field with trainers in the second quarter of Sunday's game. K.J. Britt is the top candidate to see increased snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Lavonte David for as long as Dennis is sidelined.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Double-digit stops in win
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.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Stands out in Week 1
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.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Past shoulder injury
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.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Sits out practice Friday
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.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Returns Wednesday
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.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Not suiting up
Dennis (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Dennis was considered doubtful coming into the day, so his inability to suit up doesn't come as a surprise. With Devin White (foot) and Lavonte David (groin) also inactive, the Buccaneers will be extremely thin at middle linebacker. K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell will both be called upon to step up in their absences.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: May sit out vs. Panthers
Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Dennis (illness) has a long way to go to play in Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
With regular starting linebackers Lavonte David (groin) and Devin White (foot) already ruled out for Week 13, Dennis will figure to be Tampa Bay's best option at that position if he is able to suit up Sunday. If not, though, 2021 fifth-rounder K.J. Britt is likely the next man up.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Doubtful for Sunday
Dennis (illness) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
The rookie linebacker out of Pittsburgh hasn't practiced all week with this illness, and it's unlikely that he's able to suit up for Sunday's affair. Dennis has appeared in eight games for the Buccaneers thus far, logging 11 total tackles and primarily playing on special teams. Tampa Bay will likely be without both Dennis and Lavonte David (groin) in Week 13, meaning that K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell will have big shoes to fill in the team's linebacker corps.
