  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Solid as tackler in win

    McCollum recorded six tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-13 win versus the Raiders. McCollum was on the field for virtually every one of Tampa Bay's defensive snaps in a game where Las Vegas attempted 37 passes, so he saw more than a few chances to make tackles in the open field. The Buccaneers probably won't be defending the pass quite as much in Week 15 against the Chargers.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Reliable in road win

    McCollum recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-7 win against the Giants. McCollum played all 56 of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps in Week 12, and he managed seven tackles for the second time in his last three outings. He figures to see a lot of rookie first-rounder Xavier Legette and veteran David Moore in Week 13 at Carolina.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Opens week as DNP

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

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: 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. 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.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: 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. 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.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Six tackles in loss

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

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: 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. 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.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Questionable for Sunday

    McCollum (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. The third-year cornerback was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session Wednesday, but he likely still needs to pass concussion protocol with a neurological 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.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Won't return Sunday

    McCollum (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. McCollum entered concussion protocols in the second quarter of Sunday's game. The evaluation confirmed that the 2022 fifth-round pick sustained a concussion, and he will not be able to return, finishing the contest with one tackle. Bryce Hall will step into the starting corner role for the rest of the game opposite Jamel Dean.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Enters concussion protocols

    McCollum (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Washington, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. McCollum sustained the head injury early in the second quarter, and he registered one tackle before exiting the contest. He will have to pass the league's concussion protocols in order to return to Sunday's game. While McCollum is sidelined, Bryce Hall and Josh Hayes are candidates to see extended playing time at corner opposite starter Jamel Dean.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Strong second season

    McCollum recorded 68 tackles (49 solo), nine passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games in 2023. He added nine tackles (eight solo) in two postseason contests. McCollum, a 2022 fifth-round pick, saw a major boost across the board in his second season, including a near 500-snap increase in plays from scrimmage (268 to 748). The Sam Houston State product filled a rotational role at cornerback, but he had plenty of opportunities to run with the first-team defense with both Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean missing time with various injuries. Davis is slated for a $20 million-plus cap hit in 2024, so there may be a scenario where McCollum can slot into a starting cornerback role on a full-time basis next season.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Big impact in narrow win

    McCollum recorded nine tackles (six solo), two passes defensed and one forced fumble during Sunday's 29-25 win over the Falcons. McCollum again played 100 percent of defensive snaps with Jamel Dean (ankle) out for a third straight game. While it's possible Dean could retake the field Week 15 versus the Packers, Carlton Davis (groin) was forced out Sunday against Atlanta, meaning the Buccaneers could again be a man down at cornerback. That leaves multiple possible paths for McCollum to continue handling more than a depth role.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Racks up tackles in Week 12 loss

    McCollum recorded nine tackles (six solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. The second-year cornerback's surprisingly high tackle total was the second highest on the day for the Buccaneers as McCollum filled in for Jamel Dean (ankle). McCollum, a 2022 fifth-round pick, has 38 stops on the season already to outpace his rookie-season total of 24, which was accomplished in two additional games. McCollum is still in search of his first career interception, but he's now allowing an elite 36.4 percent completion rate on 33 attempts in primary coverage and has five defensed passes over 11 games.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Productive with elevated snaps

    McCollum recorded six tackles (four solo) and one defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. McCollum played on all 80 defensive snaps with Carlton Davis (toe) sidelined and Jamel Dean exiting with neck and shoulder injuries after 38 snaps. The speedy McCollum acquitted himself well overall, and with Dean failing to practice Wednesday, the former could be trusted with a starting assignment in what profiles as a tough Week 4 road matchup versus the Saints' talented group of receivers.

  • 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: Won't debut Week 2

    McCollum (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints. Though he concluded the week with a pair of limited practices, McCollum ultimately took a doubtful designation into Sunday's contest. The rookie fifth-round pick will have to wait at least one more game to make his NFL debut, but he could be ready to play in next Sunday's matchup with the Packers if he's able to turn in a full practice at some point during the upcoming week.
