Analysis: On the Saints' second drive, the team drove into Tampa Bay territory before Dennis threw a wrench into the series with a 10-yard sack of Spencer Rattler. It was Dennis' second sack in as many games after he went without a sack for the first six weeks of the campaign. With 2.0 sacks on the season, Dennis has already established a career-high mark.

Dennis (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Limited practice Wednesday
Dennis (ankle) was a limited participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Dennis popped up on the injury report with an apparent ankle injury Wednesday, which he may have suffered in the team's 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday Night Football. The linebacker's ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a good sign for his chances to play Sunday versus the Jets. Dennis will have two more chances to log a full practice before the end of the week.

Logs 10 stops in Week 1 win
Dennis posted 10 tackles (seven solo), including two for loss, and a defensed pass Sunday in a 23-20 victory over the Falcons.
Analysis: Dennis was one of three Bucs to reach the double-digit tackle mark in the win. It was a solid statistical beginning for the third-year linebacker, who made his first NFL start Sunday. Dennis did miss a few tackles, however, and head coach Todd Bowles described his performance as "up and down," per PewterReport.

Impressing in offseason activities
Dennis (shoulder) was back healthy during OTAs and minicamp, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dennis got injured Week 4 of the 2024 regular season, but he has returned to full health for Tampa Bay's offseason activities. He was among the team's most impressive defenders in OTAs and minicamp, so Dennis could push for a larger role in his third NFL season, as the 2023 fifth-round draft pick has yet to make an NFL start among his 17 regular-season appearances.

Limited to four games in '24
Dennis (shoulder) supplied 22 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over four regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: Dennis played in just three games for all practical purposes, as he suffered what turned out to be a season-ending shoulder injury just five snaps into a Week 4 game against the Eagles. The second-year linebacker appeared to be on his way to a breakout season if the small sample size was any indication, considering Dennis had totaled 18 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the first two games of the campaign alone. Dennis still managed to collect nine additional tackles in nine fewer games during…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Double-digit stops in win
Dennis recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Past shoulder injury
Dennis (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: 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.

Sits out practice Friday
Dennis (undisclosed) did not practice Friday, Greg Auman of FOXSports.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Returns Wednesday
Dennis (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Analysis: 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.

Not suiting up
Dennis (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Doubtful for Sunday
Dennis (illness) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Full participant Wednesday
Dennis (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Buccaneers' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Dennis has missed Tampa Bay's last three games while recovering from a hamstring injury. The fifth-round rookie should now be ready to suit up again after logging a full session during the first practice Week 6. Dennis played two of his 24 total snaps on defense during his NFL debut against the Vikings in Week 1.

Won't play at New Orleans
Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Dennis (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game at the Saints, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: For the third straight week, Dennis will watch from the sidelines as he recovers from a lingering hamstring injury. He doesn't leave a ton of slack in terms of playing time, but what little there is figures to go mostly to 2021 fifth-rounder K.J. Britt.

Out for Week 3
Dennis (hamstring) is set to miss his second game in a row after being ruled out of Monday's contest against the Eagles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: This news comes as no surprise, given that Dennis was unable to log a single practice this week. He played 22 of his 25 snaps on special teams in Week 1 against the Vikings and did not record a stat in that game.

Analysis: The rookie linebacker out of Pittsburgh was limited earlier in the week, but he didn't participate in Friday's practice, and he's officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Dennis saw some time during Tampa Bay's Week 1 win over Minnesota, but he failed to record a stat.

Avoids injury report Wednesday
Dennis (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Buccaneers' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Dennis was sidelined with an undisclosed injury during the final week of Tampa Bay's preseason practices. The rookie fifth-round pick looks to be a full-go heading into Week 1 against Minnesota, and he'll likely slot into a primary reserve role behind starting inside linebackers Devin White and Lavonte David.

Hopeful for Week 1
Head coach Todd Bowles noted Sunday that he is "hopeful" that Dennis (undisclosed) will be available for the Bucs' season opener against the Vikings on Sept. 10, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Dennis missed all practices last week after sitting out of the Bucs' 13-6 win over the Jets on Aug. 19. Once healthy, Dennis should play a key rotational role at linebacker alongside Devin White, Lavonte David and Shaquil Barrett.

Dealing with undisclosed injury
Dennis (undisclosed) did not practice this week after missing last Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick's status remains vague for the time being. Dennis had been impressing since rookie camp, unofficially nabbing four interceptions overall. He proved a disruptive presence during his college days at Pittsburgh, where he was a teammate of Buccaneers rookie first-round pick Calijah Kancey, posting 15 sacks and 36 total tackles for loss during his final three seasons. Dennis could play a key rotational linebacker role in addition to working on special teams during the…read more
