  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Ready for Week 6

    Dean (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Dean was a limited participant throughout Week 6 prep. The cornerback is all set to suit up in Sunday's contest, likely playing through the remains of his ankle injury.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Questionable for Sunday

    Dean (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Dean was a limited practice participant throughout all of the Steelers' Week 6 prep. The cornerback's fate for Sunday's game remains uncertain as he continues to navigate an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Browns. If Dean cannot suit up, Sean Murphy-Bunting or Daylen Everette should get the start at outside cornerback opposite Asante Samuel.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Returns to practice

    Dean (ankle) was a limited participant at the Steelers' practice Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Dean was sidelined at practice for the entire week before missing the team's Week 5 win over the Colts with an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 4 versus Cleveland. The cornerback was able to make his return to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more chances to log a full session before Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Won't play Sunday

    Dean (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

    Dean suffered an ankle injury during the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Browns last Thursday. The cornerback has not practiced since sustaining the injury and is set to miss a few weeks as he manages the issue. Asante Samuel is set to start across from either Daylen Everette or Sean Murphy-Bunting in Dean's absence.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Likely to miss time with ankle injury

    The Steelers could be without Dean for "a couple of weeks" after he exited Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Browns due to an ankle injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Pittsburgh's depth at cornerback was already being tested after Joey Porter sat out the team's first three games before he was traded to the Cowboys on Wednesday, so the loss of Dean for any length of time would represent another big hit to the secondary. Assuming the ankle injury keeps Dean out for at least the Steelers' Week 5 game against the Colts, Asante Samuel and Daylen Everette would likely be called upon to serve as starters at the boundary corner spots.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Sidelined for remainder of Week 4

    Dean (ankle) has been ruled out from returning to Thursday's matchup versus Cleveland, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Dean was injured in the first half and ruled out shortly after halftime. Prior to his exit, he recorded one tackle and one defensed pass. Per Fittipaldo, Daylen Everette will likely take over for Dean for the remainder of Thursday Night Football.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Questionable to return in Week 4

    Dean (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Pittsburgh was already lacking depth at the cornerback position ahead of this contest, so Dean's injury isn't good news as it relates to slowing down the surging Browns offense. If Dean can't return in Week 4, Daylen Everette should see more snaps.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Good to go for Week 3

    Dean (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

    Dean was working through an ankle issue during Week 3 prep and drew the questionable tag after logging back-to-back limited practices Thursday and Friday. He's been cleared by medical staff to play Sunday and will start opposite Asante Samuel at outside cornerback. Dean has eight tackles (five solo) through the first two games of the regular season.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Uncertain to play in Week 3

    Dean (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Dean didn't practice Wednesday, but despite his limited participation Thursday and Friday, he will carry an injury designation heading into the AFC North clash with the Bengals. Joey Porter (undisclosed), who is also questionable, might return in Week 3, so his presence would help fill the void if Dean isn't available. Asante Samuel would also continue to receive more playing time.

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: DNP Wednesday

    Dean (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Dean likely suffered his ankle injury in the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. The cornerback will need to upgrade his participation level in the remaining two practices of the week to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Bengals.
