The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to deal with injuries as they now are placing linebacker SirVocea Dennis on injured reserve. Dennis suffered a shoulder injury against the Eagles and the team has determined that he will need some time to fully recover.
During Friday morning’s media session, Bowles told the media “We’re not counting on him anytime soon.” He would go on to explain that his shoulder was ‘kind of messed up this summer. . .kinda knew he was touch and go.”
Dennis joins several other starters who will be set to or have missed time, such as Calijah Kancey and Antoine Winfield Jr. The defense showed that it was hurting on Thursday night against the Falcons when it surrendered a whopping 550 yards, 509 of which came from Kirk Cousins and his passing.
The team will now have to rely upon K.J. Britt to step up in his absence. His roster spot was given to Antonio Grier, who the team signed off the practice squad.
