Two touchdowns in Week 14 win McMillan brought in four of seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Impact McMillan hadn't found the end zone since recording a 32-yard touchdown on his first career catch back in Week 1 against the Commanders, but he made up for some lost time Sunday with 15- and 29-yard grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. The second-year wideout's catch total also tied his career high, while his yardage tally was a new high-water mark for the rookie third-round pick. McMillan's surge was a welcome sight considering how little production the Buccaneers have gotten from the No. 2 receiver position since Chris Godwin was lost for the season with an ankle dislocation, and he'll look to put together a successful encore in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

Two grabs in Week 13 win McMillan secured two of three targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact McMillan posted his third multi-catch tally in the last four games but still had minimal impact with his robust 76 percent snap share (61 snaps). The rookie has yet to take appreciable advantage of the opportunity afforded by Chris Godwin's season-ending ankle injury, and he'll have a tough matchup in a Week 14 home date with a Raiders defense that's been adept at keeping pass plays in front of it this season while allowing the sixth-fewest yards per completion in the NFL (9.5).
DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
One catch in return to action McMillan brought in one of two targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact After garnering active status in Week 10 against the 49ers but not playing any snaps, McMillan jumped into the No. 2 receiver role following the bye and led all Buccaneers wideouts with 41 snaps. However, as his final line implies, McMillan drew very little of Baker Mayfield's attention and drew only one additional target than reserves such as Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller and Rakim Jarrett. However, the rookie is likely to continue in a starting role in a Week 13 road matchup against the Panthers.

Logs full practice McMillan (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Impact McMillan was listed as active for Tampa Bay's final game before a Week 11 bye, but he was only available in the event of an injury to another player and didn't end up playing any snaps. He should be ready for his normal role two weeks later, facing the Giants on Sunday with fellow wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) expected back in the lineup. McMillan didn't do much even when both Evans and Chris Godwin (IR - ankle) were absent, but the rookie still figures to have a role down the stretch, likely operating as the Bucs' second or third WR.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Active but no snaps Sunday McMillan, who missed Week 9 with a hamstring injury, was active in Sunday's loss to the 49ers but didn't log any snaps, Greg Auman of FOX Sports reports.
Impact The rookie wideout had logged just a single practice, and limited at that, during Week 10 prep, but the fact the Buccaneers had invested game day roster spot in him would have seemed to portend a regular role. Nevertheless, McMillan never saw the field against San Francisco, and in addition to Auman's confirmation of such, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times appeared to imply the speedster simply wasn't healthy enough to run routes. McMillan will now have a Week 11 bye to potentially get back to full health before a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants, a game that could also mark the return of Mike Evans (hamstring).
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Sunday McMillan (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact McMillan thus is back in action after he sat out last Monday's overtime loss in Kansas City due to a hamstring that he tweaked three days before then. He logged just one limited session during Week 10 prep, but it was enough to. clear him for Sunday's game. The Buccaneers don't have Mike Evans (hamstring) or Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) available, so McMillan is among the wide receivers active along with Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard, Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to suit up Sunday McMillan (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McMillan managed just one limited session during Week 10 prep due to the hamstring injury that kept him out last Monday at Kansas City, but he isn't in line to be included on the Buccaneers' inactive list this time around. With Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) still sidelined, McMillan should join Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard and Ryan Miller as the top wide receivers available to QB Baker Mayfield.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Sunday McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact McMillan was added to the injury report last Friday and ended up missing Monday's loss to the Chiefs, but he'll be given a shot to play this week after returning to a limited practice Friday. Fellow Bucs WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring/hip) has been cleared to play, joining Trey Palmer, Rakim Jarrett and Ryan Miller as the team's healthy options at the position ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Still not practicing McMillan (hamstring) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.
Impact McMillan hasn't logged any on-field work since tweaking his hamstring last Friday, missing Monday's overtime loss at Kansas City as a result. He'll have one more chance to prove his health this week before the Buccaneers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Wednesday McMillan (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact A Week 8 matchup with the Falcons marked Mike Evans' first of a multi-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, and McMillan responded with four catches (on seven targets) for 35 yards. McMillan then tweaked his hamstring at practice last Friday and wasn't able to suit up Monday at Kansas City. With an absence to kick off Week 10 prep, he may not be in a great position to return to action Sunday against the 49ers.

Buccaneers without Jalen McMillan in banged-up wide receiver corps for game against Chiefs
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is without another wide receiver after Jalen McMillan was declared inactive due to a hamstring injury for Monday night’s game against the Kans...NOVEMBER 5 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Inactive due to hamstring injury McMillan (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game at Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact McMillan showed up on Tampa Bay's practice report Saturday as limited due to a hamstring injury, leaving him questionable for Week 9 action. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported shortly before inactives dropped Monday that McMillan tweaked his hamstring at Friday's session and was slated to sit out, which has come to pass. The Buccaneers thus will be down their top three wide receivers -- also, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) -- meaning Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard (hamstring), Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will compose the team's receiving corps.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
In line to be inactive McMillan (hamstring) isn't expected to be active Monday at Kansas City, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Per Pelissero, McMillan tweaked his hamstring during Friday's practice, which was the reason for a limited showing Saturday and subsequent listing of questionable for Week 9 action. With McMillan in line to sit out Monday, the Buccaneers' receiving corps will be even further depleted with Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined and Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season. Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard (hamstring), Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will be the wide receivers available for Tampa Bay.

Impact McMillan was a late addition to the Buccaneers' Week 9 injury report, indicating that he may have sustained the hamstring issue during Saturday's session. His status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff -- along with fellow WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) -- but with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, knee) sidelined, McMillan would have a chance for an elevated snap share, assuming he's active.

Five touches in Week 8 loss McMillan secured four of seven targets for 35 yards and rushed once for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact McMillan filled a de facto No. 1 receiver role in the absence of both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR-knee), but he had trouble establishing early chemistry with Baker Mayfield. McMillan was able to finish fourth in receptions for the Buccaneers and tied for second in targets, and there's a chance he'll be more acclimated to his enhanced level of responsibility when Tampa Bay faces the Chiefs in a Week 9 Monday night battle on Nov. 4.
