Agrees to three-year deal with PIT Dean (shoulder) agreed to a three-year, $36.75 million contract with the Steelers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Dean has recovered from a shoulder injury that sidelined him down the stretch in 2025, so he shouldn't have trouble passing a physical to make his contract with Pittsburgh official when the new league year begins Wednesday. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old cornerback set a new career high with three interceptions in 14 games during the 2025 season. He has 61 passes defensed in 96 regular-season games (77 starts), all with the Buccaneers.

Solid production in contract year Dean (shoulder) recorded 46 tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, nine defensed passes, including three interceptions (one pick-six) and two forced fumbles across 14 regular-seas...

Impact Dean put together a career-high INT total in his contract year, holding down the starting job at left cornerback whenever he was healthy. The veteran defensive back has always had a good knack for getting his hands on the ball, and the fact he's still only 29 years old and plays a key position should garner plenty of interest on the open market if he and the Buccaneers don't come to an agreement for him to remain in Tampa Bay.

Won't play Saturday Dean (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Panthers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The 29-year-old corner didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his third game of the season Saturday. Dean is a crucial part of the Buccaneers' secondary, recording 46 total tackles, nine passes defensed, including three interceptions, and two forced fumbles across 14 appearances this season. Expect Benjamin Morrison, Josh Hayes and Kindle Vildor to operate as Tampa Bay's top boundary cornerbacks while Dean is sidelined in Week 18, a matchup the Buccaneers must win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Back-to-back DNPs to open week Dean (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Dean sustained a shoulder injury during the Buccaneers' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins. He did not work in Tuesday's walkthrough nor in Wednesday's practice, so his participation in Thursday's session will shed clarity on his chances of playing against the Panthers on Saturday. Kindle Vildor could draw the start at outside corner if Dean is unable to play.

Will play Week 13 Dean (hip) is active for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Impact Dean missed the Buccaneers' last two games due to a hip injury. He has been cleared to return Sunday after ending the week with back-to-back full practices, which means Kindle Vildor will likely revert to a rotational role at corner in Week 13. Dean has posted 28 tackles (24 solo), six pass defenses (two interceptions and a pick-six) and two forced fumbles through nine regular-season games.

Questionable vs. Cardinals Dean (hip) is questionable for Tampa Bay's matchup versus the Cardinals on Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

Impact Dean was a full participant in Thursday's practice but will still carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup. The 29-year-old sat out the team's Week 12 loss to the Rams but should have a chance to make his return against Arizona.

Upgrades to full practice Thursday Dean (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Dean missed the Buccaneers' last two games due to a hip injury, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to return Sunday against the Cardinals. With Dean back in the mix, less defensive snaps will be available in the Bucs' secondary for Kindle Vildor and Benjamin Morrison (hamstring).

Limited to open week Dean (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Dean was unable to play in Week 12 against the Rams due to a hip injury, so his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a good sign. The cornerback will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
