The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing a significant health crisis this season, with over half of their starting roster sidelined at various points. The secondary has been particularly hard-hit, losing key players like Antoine Winfield Jr. and Jamel Dean, the latter missing games due to a hamstring injury since Week 6.

Without Dean, the Buccaneers have suffered four consecutive losses, highlighting the team's lack of depth at cornerback. Fortunately, Dean is nearing a return, with optimism surrounding his comeback as the team enters a crucial stretch of games.
