Tampa Bay's secondary will be down two key starters for their critical Week 18 matchup with the Saints, and the offense will be without starting TE Cade Otton for a third game in a row

Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting cornerback Jamel Dean was ruled out after injuring his knees just before halftime in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Dean was originally ruled as questionable to return before being downgraded.

Tight end Cade Otton will be a game-time decision for the game, in which Tampa Bay will try to win its 4th straight NFC South championship.
