Dennis recorded 101 tackles (66 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five defensed passes, including one interception, across 16 games in the 2025 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

After playing under 100 snaps in each of his first two seasons over 17 total games, Dennis moved into a full-time role and put his whopping 909 snaps to good use. Dennis' stat line was unsurprisingly comprised of career-best figures across the board, and he recorded at least seven tackles on 10 occasions. Dennis will now head into the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, although given his breakout campaign, it's certainly conceivable he and the Bucs come to terms on an extension this offseason.

Dennis recorded seven tackles (four solo), including one stop for a loss, during the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis finished Sunday's game as the Bucs' co-leader in tackles with Antoine Winfield. Dennis has recorded at least seven tackles in four of his last five games, and for the season he has 99 tackles (64 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (one interception) across 15 regular-season games. The Buccaneers wrap up the regular season Saturday against the Panthers, when Dennis will look to crack the tackling century mark for the first time in his three-year NFL career.

Dennis logged eight tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Tampa Bay's loss versus the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis finished second on the team in tackles during the loss in addition to recording his third sack of the campaign. The 25-year-old is having the best season of his career, as he's already set new personal bests in both tackles and sacks.

Dennis (hip) logged a full practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis was sidelined for Tampa Bay's Week 15 matchup against Atlanta, but he looks to be in line to return for a key NFC South matchup against the Panthers. He should play nearly every defensive snap while posting a significant number of tackles.

Dennis (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deion Jones, John Bullock and Nick Jackson are candidates for increased playing time at inside linebacker alongside Lavonte David. Dennis will have 10 days to recover before the Buccaneers' next game, Dec. 21 against the Panthers.

Dennis (hip) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a hip injury that he likely picked up in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Wednesday will be Dennis' last opportunity to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Thursday's NFC South tilt against the Falcons. If he is not cleared to play, then John Bullock would be the top candidate to start at inside linebacker alongside Lavonte David.

Dennis (hip) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first time since mid-September that Dennis has appeared on the Buccaneers' injury report. The Bucs held a walkthrough practice Monday, so the third-year linebacker will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's NFC South tilt against the Falcons.

Dennis recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 20-17 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis was able to pace the team in takedowns, crossing the double-digit threshold for the first time since Week 7. The linebacker has taken quite the leap in his third season with Tampa Bay, compiling a career-high 82 total tackles (53 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four passes defensed, one of which is an interception, over 12 contests so far.

Dennis posted seven tackles (three solo) during the Buccaneers' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis played every single defensive snap for a fourth consecutive game (and fifth time this season), and he finished Sunday's game with the third-most tackles on the Buccaneers behind Lavonte David and Antoine Winfield (eight each). Dennis has recorded at least seven stops in seven of 11 regular-season games, and he is up to 71 tackles (45 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception) on the year.

Dennis posted four tackles and an interception during Tampa Bay's 44-32 loss to Buffalo on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dennis played every single defensive snap during Sunday's game, and he recorded his first interception of career in the second quarter, when he caught a Josh Allen pass intended for Dawson Knox that was tipped by Tykee Smith. Dennis has played every single defensive snap in each of his last three games and is up to 64 tackles (42 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defense through 10 regular-season games.
