Buccaneers Cornerback Forced Out Of Game With Injury

He had a rough game on Sunday.

However, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean may have been trying to play through an injury, as he was later ruled out of the game with a toe injury.

Dean collected two tackles to begin the game, but was ruled out before halftime. 

The twenty-six-year-old is in the midst of perhaps his best season, having played nearly 100 percent of the Bucs' snaps this season, and racking up 55 total tackles, two interceptions and seven passes defended.

If Dean is forced to miss time, it will be another blow to an already depleted Buccaneers' defense. There should be an update on his status later today.
