Opens week as DNP McCollum (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact McCollum suffered a hamstring injury during the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. Even with the additional rest courtesy of the Week 11 bye, McCollum was unable to participate in Wednesday's session, and he will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Injury not believed to be serious McCollum tweaked his hamstring in Sunday's Week 10 loss to San Francisco, but the injury isn't expected to be serious, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCollum was deemed questionable to return with under five minutes remaining in the contest and was downgraded to doubtful with under a minute left. While he ultimately wasn't able to return to the game, the hamstring injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern, per Laine's report. Tampa Bay is off next week, so McCollum will have extra time to recover ahead of the team's next contest, which will take place Sunday, Nov. 24 against the Giants.

Exits game with hamstring injury McCollum (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact With Sunday's game winding down, it's unclear whether McCollum will return even if he's healthy. Keenan Isaac and Tyrek Funderburk are in line for increased snaps at corner for as long as McCollum is sidelined.

Remains busy in Week 9 McCollum posted seven tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Impact McCollum played on a season-high 85 snaps (100 percent) and recorded a higher tackle total than the prior game for the third consecutive contest. The 2022 fifth-round pick already has a career-high 10 pass defensed, including the first two interceptions of his career, across nine games, and with 45 tackles in that same span, he's comfortably on pace to exceed the previous high of 68 stops he recorded across 17 regular-season games in 2023.

Six tackles in loss McCollum furnished six tackles (two solo) in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact McCollum put together a solid tackle total in the high-scoring loss, tying for his second-highest total of the campaign. The third-year pro has gotten his hands on the ball consistently throughout the season and has allowed just a 37.5 percent completion rate in primary coverage, but he hasn't defensed a pass in the last two games and has given up four passing touchdowns overall.

McCollum's tackle total tied a season low despite the fact he logged a robust 66 snaps, but he continued to display his knack for getting his hands on the ball and now has a career-high 10 pass breakups through six games.

Six tackles, INT in Week 2 win McCollum recorded six tackles (all solo) and four defensed passes, including an interception, in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact McCollum had played just 11 snaps in Week 1 before suffering a concussion, but he'd been able to get back to full practices Thursday and Friday and clear protocol. That thrust the third-year pro back into his starting right cornerback role, and he played on all 85 snaps while tying for the fifth-highest tackle total on the Bucs and consistently getting his hands on Jared Goff's passes. McCollum will look to snag his second pick of the season against the erratic Bo Nix when the Broncos come calling in Week 3.

Clears concussion protocols McCollum has cleared the league's concussion protocols and will be able to suit up Sunday against the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCollum was a full participant in practice both Thursday and Friday, and after successfully navigating through the league's concussion protocols, he is good to go for Sunday's contest. The 2022 fifth-round pick will start at corner opposite Jamel Dean.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday McCollum (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The third-year cornerback was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session on Wednesday, but he likely still needs to pass concussion protocol with a neurologist test, as he's been listed as questionable on the Buccaneers' injury report. If McCollum is not cleared from his concussion by Sunday's contest, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work in Tampa Bay's depleted secondary.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to full participant McCollum (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.

Impact McCollum was forced to leave in the second quarter of the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Commanders after sustaining a concussion. He's been able to increase his practice participation this week, but the 2022 fifth-round pick is still working through the league's concussion protocols. McCollum's participation in Friday's practice will give a better indication on whether he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's game in Detroit.
