Jalen McMillan - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Little with three touches in loss McMillan brought in two of three targets for 15 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Playing in just his second game of the season, McMillan had a modest role, albeit within the context of a day in which Baker Mayfield threw for just 145 yards and averaged 5.6 yards per attempt. McMillan did enjoy a solid snap share relative to the rest of the team's front-line receivers, as his 34 snaps (53 percent) were just two behind Emeka Egbuka and six and eight fewer than Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, respectively. McMillan should continue essentially splitting the No. 3 role with Egbuka during a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Two catches in season debut McMillan (neck) brought in both targets for 38 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Impact Making his long-awaited season debut following his recovery from a preseason neck injury, McMillan looked good while bringing in a pair of 19-yard grabs. One of those catches was originally ruled a 20-yard touchdown reception that was overturned on replay, when it was determined McMillan hadn't broken the plane of the goal line. The second-year wideout will have a chance to build on what was an encouraging initial performance when the Bucs travel to Carolina for a key Week 16 clash with the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Set for season debut McMillan (neck) is active for Thursday's game against the Falcons.

Impact McMillan thus is eligible for his first game action since he suffered three neck fractures and significant ligament damage in his neck back in preseason Week 2 in mid-August. Fellow WR Mike Evans (collarbone) also is active for the first time since Week 7, but because both players didn't log more than a limited practice this week, the pair seemingly will have a cap on their reps Thursday while working behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin and alongside Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard and Kameron Johnson.

Impact McMillan and Mike Evans (collarbone) are both officially listed as questionable after having logged a trio of limited practices, and will need to be activated from IR in advance of Thursday's matchup in order to be eligible to take the field.

Logs another limited session McMillan (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact McMillan is inching his way toward making his 2025 regular-season debut after starting the year on injured reserve due to a neck injury during the preseason in mid-August. The Buccaneers will likely host a normal practice Wednesday, and McMillan's participation in that session will provide clarity over whether he'll be activated off IR ahead of Thursday's NFC South tilt against Atlanta.

Limited on practice estimate McMillan (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow WR Mike Evans (collarbone), with coach Todd Bowles noting Monday that both players are in play to potentially return to action Thursday night against the Falcons, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. McMillan has yet to see game action this season after having suffered a neck injury during an Aug. 16 preseason tilt against the Steelers.
