Bruce Arians: Expect Jamel Dean To Be Cleared To Play Today

December 9th, 2021

The traumatic brain injury endured by Jamel Dean against the Falcons (yes, that’s what a concussion is) shouldn’t keep him out of the lineup.

On SiriusXM NFL Radio last night, Bucco Bruce Arians said Dean is expected to be cleared from the NFL’s concussion protocol today. The third-year corner did not participate in yesterday’s walk-through session at One Buc Palace.

Happy ending! The Bucs should have their top-3 corners on the field again Sunday.

America’s Jockey!

Jason Pierre-Paul is a shell of himself, as is Devin White. Ndamukong Suh turns 35 next week and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka isn’t the rookie version of Noah Spence or Adrian Clayborn.

The Bucs have gotten little from their nickel blitzes and still the Bucs are tied for fourth in the NFL in sacks. [read more]

False national narrative.
