Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean suffered a knee injury during the game against the Carolina Panthers and was ruled out before halftime. This injury adds to the list of challenges faced by the Buccaneers' secondary, which has already seen significant injuries this season. Dean's absence is notable as he had previously missed four weeks due to a hamstring injury, and the team is also without All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
- Jamel Dean's injury further depletes the Buccaneers' secondary.
- The team is already dealing with multiple injuries among key defensive players.
