Parse Please

Spectator "DECTET"
US footballer half nervous ran out
I think it is ENDED but I can't parse the ED.
Am I right or wrong? If right, why.

It's the last one in incidentally. Took me a couple of days on and off. Bit slow with the penny dropping as I had the 50 D etc quite early on.

Thank you and Happy Christmas to all

Can't bear to see a request with no replies, but with no idea about this "crossword" I will venture tentative stabs at 3 of them.
Ocean?
Flossy?
Ross?

[bobbinwales]

Mmm, not sure of ocean the more i think about it

[bobbinwales]

sees could be CC but not sure where K comes from
y=yes

[bobbinwales]

[Patsy33]

Floss

[bobbinwales]

Yes Floss if 5 or FLOSSY if 6/ The clue says 5 but the pattern shows 6. Am sure the 6 is right

[Togo]

[Bozzer]

Cc= “sees”
I = ay=yes
