One snap in conference title game McCoy logged just one snap from scrimmage without a touch during the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Impact The veteran back was active for the second straight postseason contest, but just as in a divisional-round win over the Saints, McCoy didn't have a chance to touch the ball against the Packers. Given his sparse usage over the last several weeks, it appears likely McCoy could be headed for a quiet Super Bowl for the second straight year after being saddled with an inactive designation for the Buccaneers' upcoming title-game opponent, the Chiefs, in last season's edition of the contest.

No action in playoff win McCoy was active for Sunday's divisional-round win over the Saints but logged just two snaps from scrimmage and went without a carry or target.

Impact The veteran running back was in uniform at the expense of rookie Ke'Shawn Vaughn, but McCoy never saw a touch during the contest. Coach Bruce Arians once again may opt to have McCoy in uniform in Sunday's NFC Championship Game due to his experience, but unless injuries strike Leonard Fournette and/or Ronald Jones, the 32-year-old may play a minimal-to-non-existent role.

Practices in full McCoy (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact McCoy was forced to miss last weekend's wild-card win over Washington due to an ailment, but he now appears back to full health. With Ronald Jones (quadriceps) still not practicing, it's possible that the veteran could get a chance at handling expanded depth duties alongside Ke'Shawn Vaughn during Sunday's road game against the Saints. Of course, Leonard Fournette will be the clear favorite to lead Tampa Bay's backfield if Jones is limited or can't go.

Downgraded to out The Buccaneers have ruled McCoy (illness) out for Saturday's wild-card matchup at Washington, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact McCoy was initially listed as questionable on Thursday's injury report, but it appears that his ailment is severe enough to rule out any chances of playing this weekend. The veteran's absence could open up more opportunities for Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who stands to operate in a No. 3 role behind Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette.

Questionable with ailment McCoy (illness) didn't practice Thursday and is questionable for Saturday's game in Washington.

Impact McCoy missed Tuesday's practice with a "non-injury" designation before participating fully Wednesday, but it appears as though he's now dealing with an illness. If he's unable to receive full medical clearance in time for Saturday's wild-card matchup, Ke'Shawn Vaughn could end up handling increased duties as the No. 3 option in Tampa Bay's backfield.

Resumes practicing fully McCoy (non-injury related) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact McCoy sat out Tuesday's session, but his full activity a day later implies he was merely receiving a maintenance day. The veteran running back should be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Washington, though he may not necessarily be active for the contest if head coach Bruce Arians prefers to proceed with Leonard Fournette as the team's primary passing-down back.

Listed as DNP McCoy (non-injury) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact McCoy was inactive for this past Sunday's game against the Falcons and his presence on the Buccaneers' estimated injury report Tuesday suggests that the running back isn't a lock to be available for Saturday night's playoff opener against Washington.

Won't dress for Week 17 McCoy (non-injury) is listed as inactive heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Despite being present at practice Wednesday through Friday, McCoy is dealing with a non-injury-related issue of some kind that will cause him to miss his sixth game of the regular season. With Tampa Bay preparing to go on the road for a wild-card matchup next weekend, McCoy will return to a backup offensive role once able to rejoin the team. The 32-year-old has totaled 72 scrimmage yards on nine offensive touches in his three most recent appearances Weeks 14 through 16.

Used exclusively as pass catcher McCoy did not log a carry in Saturday's 47-7 win over the Lions but brought in his only target for five yards.

Impact The veteran back wasn't able to garner work in the ground game despite Ronald Jones (finger/reserve/COVID-19) sitting out a second straight game, as coach Bruce Arians opted to give rookie Ke'Shawn Vaughn extended opportunity in the second half. McCoy was therefore limited to just one reception over his 13 snaps from scrimmage, making the four rush attempts he logged against the Vikings in Week 14 seem like an outlier at this point. McCoy is likely headed for minimal action again during a Week 17 contest versus the Falcons.

Limited to pass-catching role McCoy did not log a carry in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons but secured all three targets for 32 yards.

Impact McCoy was slated to perhaps see a handful of carries as the primary third-down back as part of the domino effect of Ronald Jones' (finger/reserve/COVID-19) absence Sunday, but he saw Leonard Fournette (14 carries) and Ke'Shawn Vaughn (two carries) handle all the backfield rushing work. However, with a 17-0 halftime deficit tilting the Buccaneers toward the pass, McCoy benefited in the form of his trio of looks through the air. The veteran has a combined eight touches (four rushing, four receiving) over the last two games, a modest level of involvement that renders him a non-factor despite a favorable Week 16 Saturday afternoon matchup versus the Lions.

Slated to handle third-down duties McCoy projects to primarily fill a third-down back role in Sunday's game against the Falcons, with Leonard Fournette and rookie Ke'Shawn Vaughn slated to handle mostly early down w...

Impact The veteran saw his first touches since Week 6 in last Sunday's win over the Vikings, gaining 35 total yards (32 rushing, three receiving) across 16 snaps from scrimmage. McCoy is now expected to have a steady role for the second straight game due to the absence of Ronald Jones (finger/reserve/COVID-19), with Laine noting the 32-year-old will be given a chance to put his receiving prowess to work on passing downs once again. McCoy's conditioning is reportedly a bit behind where it ideally should be given his sparse playing opportunities this season, but Tom Brady, who's found plenty of success with backs with McCoy's pass-catching acumen over his long career, reportedly has plenty of trust in the 12-year pro.
