Deion Jones has been elevated to the active roster for the third consecutive week, serving as the Buccaneers' fourth linebacker. With 91 career starts, he brings significant experience, although he has yet to see defensive snaps this season. He has made an impact on special teams, recording one tackle over 15 snaps, indicating his readiness to contribute if called upon.

Deion Jones has been elevated from the practice squad for the upcoming game against the Panthers, marking his first elevation since joining the Buccaneers two weeks ago. This move comes as the team seeks to bolster its linebacker depth, especially with the return of Britt, who has been sidelined for four weeks. Jones may see some defensive snaps, adding to the team's efforts to address their injury challenges.

Deion Jones made a significant impact in the previous matchup against the Raiders by intercepting a pass from Derek Carr and returning it for a touchdown, showcasing his ability to capitalize on defensive opportunities and contribute to the Falcons' dominant victory.
