The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could see a crucial starter back in the lineup in Week 12 if Jamel Dean makes his return.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could see one of their crucial defenders return to the team sooner than later.
Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean has been out of action ever since exiting the team's game against the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury. The Bucs haven't won since that game, and part of that could be the defense's struggles to replace him with players like Josh Hayes and Tyrek Funderburk. Now, though, he could be back in time for Tampa Bay's Week 12 matchup vs. the New York Giants. Dean has been designated to return from IR on Monday, so he'll have 21 days to be activated. That can happen at any time, though, so the team could bring him back in time for Sunday's game.
