EDGE Analysis
Conte appears to be in line to return from a two-game absence in Week 15 against the Cowboys, so Keith Tandy would return to his back-up role.

EDGE Analysis
Conte missed practice all week due to a chest issue and will be forced to watch from the sideline Sunday as a result. Look for Keith Tandy to get the start with newly signed safety Major Wright also likely to receive an uptick in reps.

Conte (undisclosed) is a "question mark" to play Sunday in San Diego, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
This comes as somewhat of a surprise since Conte only missed four snaps Sunday against the Seahawks. His participation in practice Wednesday will hopefully provide a hint towards Conte's availability for Week 13.

Conte was credited with seven tackles (all solo) and an interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran safety continues to turn heads as the season enters its stretch run. After a pick-six against former teammate Jay Cutler in Week 10, Conte bounced back with an interception and subsequent 53-yard return off Alex Smith, his second overall on the season. He also posted his second consecutive seven-tackle outing, and remains on pace to eclipse the 80-tackle mark for the second time in his career.

Conte totaled seven tackles (five solo) and returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran safety opened the scoring by picking off Jay Cutler in the first quarter and returning it 20 yards for a touchdown. It was the first interception of the season for Conte, who is still on pace to exceed the career-best 90 tackles he posted in 2013. The overall effort against the Bears by the Bucs secondary as a whole certainly was encouraging, but Conte and his teammates will need to demonstrate the same type of play against a better quality of competition going forward.

Conte totaled eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 37-32 loss to the Rams. He also recorded a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran safety tied Lavonte David for the team lead in stops and has already racked up 26 tackles through three games. He also alertly picked up a fumble by the Rams' Kenny Britt early in the second quarter and provided a nifty 10-yard return. Conte is providing above-average tackle numbers out of the free safey so far this season, a trend he'll look to continue in the Week 4 matchup versus the Broncos.
