Dotson (hamstring) will be active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dotson had been trending in the right direction heading into the weekend as he logged a full practice on Friday, so he'll be able to play through the hamstring injury in Week 10.

Dotson (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 tilt versus the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Dotson was able to jump back into practice as a full participant is certainly an encouraging sign, considering he'd missed the first pair of sessions this week outright. The likes of Kevin Pamphile and Leonard Wester would potentially be called upon to fill in for Dotson should the latter ultimately fail to suit up.

Dotson (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lineman played on all 59 snaps in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Saints, but he apparently tweaked the hamstring somewhere along the way. While his complete absence from Wednesday's session might be precautionary, Dotson's status will be worth monitoring throughout the week. Already out Mike Evans (suspension) and Jameis Winston (shoulder) in Week 10, the Buccaneers can ill afford to be without one of their key blockers as well against an aggressive Jets front seven.

Dotson (groin) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and is expected to play Sunday against the Bears, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dotson was expected to play in Week 1 too if the game wasn't postponed due to Hurricane Irma. He'll be the starting right tackle.

Dotson (groin) is expected to return to practice sometime next week, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers received good news Sunday when Dotson's MRI only revealed a mild right groin sprain. Following the good news, the team expects Dotson to make a full return by next week.

Dotson (groin) is scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dotson suffered from the groin injury in Thursday's preseason game against the Jaguars and was unable to return. The team will likely provide an update on his health and timetable for recovery following the MRI.

Dotson left Thursday's preseason game against the Jaguars with a groin injury and did not return.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Dotson's injury is currently unknown, but he'll be evaluated over the weekend. The Buccaneers will likely take precautionary measures with their veteran tackle, even if the injury is a minor one.

Dotson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tackle appears to be on the right track for active status in the Week 17 finale against the Panthers. Dotson's presence has been missed during the last two games that he's been sidelined, as Jameis Winston has taken six sacks over that stretch.

Dotson (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers are dangerously thin at right tackle with both Dotson and Gosder Cherilus (groin) both ruled out for Saturday's divisional showdown. As evidenced in their Week 15 game against the Cowboys, the Buccaneers don't appear to have a viable replacement at that spot on the line. According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay may be forced to play undrafted free agent Leonard Wester or move Kevin Pamphile over to right tackle from his natural spot at left guard.

Dotson remains in the league's concussion protocol but was back on the practice field Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lineman has missed the last two games, but his return to the practice field inches him closer to a return. Dotson will still have to be cleared by an independent neurologist before suiting up again, and with the Bucs facing off with the Saints on Saturday, he has one less day than usual to work with this week. Another update on Dotson's status may be available Wednesday.
