He was declared inactive after he had difficulty running in pregame warmups. Fullback Mike Alstott moved to running back and Kevin McLeod started at fullback.
Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy said Tuesday that he expects Dunn to be ready Sunday when Tampa Bay plays host to the Detroit Lions in a key NFC Central game.
Dunn, a third-year pro, has rushed for only 494 yards this season, but is
the Buccaneers' leading receiver with 46 catches for 387 yards and
one touchdown.
He was injured Nov. 28 during a 16-3 victory at Seattle. He
was held out of practice for the Vikings game as a precaution, but
had been listed as probable to play. | |
