Demar Dotson has missed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' last three games due to a concussion but he seems poised to return to action just in time to help out in a very critical matchup.
On Thursday, Head Coach Dirk Koetter confirmed that Dotson has finally been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol, a necessary step before he could return to game action. Dotson has practiced without limits the last two days, which he did not do the previous two weeks while attempting to overcome his injury. That progression has produced optimism that he will be able to step back in at right tackle, where he started the first 12 games of the season.
