Dennis (hamstring) is set to miss his second game in a row after being ruled out of Monday's contest against the Eagles, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
This news comes as no surprise, given that Dennis was unable to log a single practice this week. He played 22 of his 25 snaps on special teams in Week 1 against the Vikings and did not record a stat in that game.

Head coach Todd Bowles noted Sunday that he is "hopeful" that Dennis (undisclosed) will be available for the Bucs' season opener against the Vikings on Sept. 10, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Added by Bucs
Rotowire
The Buccaneers selected Dennis in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 153rd overall.
Dennis had a productive career at Pitt, piling up 36 tackles for loss and 15 sacks in his final three seasons. Even with that work on the defensive side of the ball, he also played a regular role on special teams. Dennis will likely start his NFL career in the latter role, though his playmaking ability could ultimately land him a more consistent job at inside linebacker.
