Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Looking for big Year 2 leap
McCollum, who finished with two assisted tackles and an interception across 33 snaps in the Buccaneers' preseason-opening loss to the Steelers, is attempting to learn how to harness his elite speed and improve his tackling during his upcoming second season, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
McCollum put together a solid rookie campaign after being selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, posting 24 tackles (18 solo) and a defensed pass across 268 defensive snaps while also logging another 225 plays on special teams as a gunner. McCollum, who boasts 4.33 speed, is working this summer on learning to play with more "controlled speed," including when positioning himself for tackles. In Friday's preseason loss to the Steelers, McCollum's top-end velocity played an integral part in his second-quarter interception, but he also ended up overrunning a tackle opportunity on Pittsburgh's George Pickens in the opening period that led to a touchdown for the talented second-year wideout.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Returns to game
McCollum (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McCollum was initially ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup due to a concussion, but he apparently cleared the league's concussion protocol after undergoing further testing. Jamel Dean (toe) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, so McCollum could see an increased role in Tampa Bay's secondary.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Exits with concussion
McCollum (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
McCollum apparently sustained a concussion when he collided with San Francisco safety George Odum on a Buccaneers punt in the second quarter, per Laine. The rookie cornerback will now have one week to clear concussion protocol before Tampa Bay faces the Bengals on Sunday, Dec. 18. McCollum had stepped up into a bigger role with Sean Murphy-Bunting (quadriceps) once again inactive Week 14, so his absence will likely leave Dee Delaney to fill in for this depleted secondary.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Ready to roll against Cleveland
McCollum (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns.

He practiced in full each day leading up to Sunday's matchup against Cleveland and has fully cleared the league's concussion protocol. McCollum will return to a depth role in the secondary and a significant role on special teams, and he's racked up 14 total tackles and one pass defended across six games this season.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Logs full practice Wednesday
McCollum (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Buccaneers' injury report Wednesday.
McCollum has yet to make his NFL debut after picking up a hamstring injury in mid-August. The rookie cornerback was able to log two limited practices last week, and his full participation on Tampa Bay's first injury report of Week 3 is an encouraging sign for his availability moving forward. McCollum could be used in a primary reserve role if starting cornerback Carlton Davis (hip) is limited during this Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: FCS corner to Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers selected McCollum in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 157th overall.
McCollum starred at the NFL Combine by posting a 4.33 40-yard dash and a 40-inch vertical jump at 6-foot-2, 199 pounds. He was a five-year starter at Sam Houston State of the FCS and finished with 54 pass breakups and 13 interceptions during his tenure. McCollum has the athleticism to handle the speed of the NFL game, but he fell to the fifth round because there's limited tape of him against top-tier talent.
