Cleared to play against Pittsburgh Dennis (ankle/foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Ankle and foot injuries prevented Dennis from playing against the Cowboys in Week 5. He drew the questionable tag for Week 6 after logging a full practice Friday, and the fourth-year linebacker has been given the green light to return for Sunday's contest.

Ruled out for Week 5 Dennis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Dennis suffered an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Packers on Sunday. The Bucs are still awaiting the results of his MRI, but the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to be sidelined for Thursday night's contest. In Dennis' absence, Christian Rozeboom will be the sole depth option at inside linebacker behind Alex Anzalone and Josiah Trotter.

Undergoes MRI for ankle injury Dennis (ankle) underwent an MRI after the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Packers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reported Monday.

Impact Dennis exited the loss to the Packers early with an ankle injury. The linebacker entered the Week 4 matchup dealing with a lingering calf injury, and the need for an MRI after the contest does not bode well for the 26-year-old's leg. It remains unclear how significant Dennis' injury is and how much time he may be required to miss.

Departs Week 4 game with ankle injury Dennis (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Dennis dealt with a calf injury during the week but was ultimately cleared to play Sunday. However, he suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's contest and isn't certain to return. Should Dennis be done for the day, Christian Rozeboom could be asked to step up and log more work on defense.

Cleared to take field Dennis (calf) is active Week 4 against Green Bay.

Impact Dennis saw the field for 27 defensive snaps in Week 3, in addition to his regular duties on special teams, which may indicate a growing role on the defensive side for the fourth-year linebacker. The extra run led to a season-best four tackles, which he'll look to eclipse Sunday.

Limited in practice Friday Dennis (calf/personal) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Dennis was limited in Wednesday's practice with a calf injury before downgrading to a DNP in Thursday's session. The linebacker was able to return to practice Friday but is also dealing with a personal issue. With Josiah Trotter back as the starting inside linebacker next to Alex Anzalone for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dennis will be in a reserve role if he can suit up.

Starting Sunday sans Trotter Dennis will start at inside linebacker against the Vikings on Sunday due to the absence of Jeremiah Trotter (shoulder), Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Dennis has mostly worked on special teams this season and has only two tackles (one solo) through two games. However, with Trotter sidelined by a shoulder issue, Dennis will start next to Alex Anzalone for Sunday's game, with Christian Rozeboom providing depth at the position.

Career-best season in '25 Dennis recorded 101 tackles (66 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five defensed passes, including one interception, across 16 games in the 2025 regular season.

Impact After playing under 100 snaps in each of his first two seasons over 17 combined games, Dennis moved into a full-time role and put his whopping 909 snaps to good use. Dennis' stat line was unsurprisingly comprised of career-best figures across the board, and he recorded at least seven tackles on at least 10 occasions.
