Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Disappoints in return
McMillan failed to secure his only target and returned three punts for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
In his return from a two-game absence, McMillan played on only 18 percent of the offense's snaps while seeing veteran Sterling Shepard (75 percent snap share) take over the No. 3 role. The significant disparity in opportunity for the two players was likely at least partly the byproduct of McMillan being eased back into action, meaning the rookie could see a notable uptick in playing time in a Week 7 Monday night showdown against the Ravens on Oct. 21.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Back in action Sunday
McMillan (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan was absent Weeks 4 and 5 due to a hamstring injury that he sustained in practice prior to the first of those contests. The rookie third-round pick put himself in a position to return to action this time around with a full session Friday, and he'll rejoin Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in three-wide sets Week 6. McMillan thus will be aiming to build upon the 3-59-1 line on six targets that he accrued in the first three outings of his career.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Questionable after full practice
McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
An upgrade to full practice participation Friday suggests McMillan is more likely than not to suit up for the first time since Week 3. He won the No. 3 receiver job this summer and made a couple nice plays over the first two weeks, but it hasn't been a high-volume role, regardless of whether McMillan, Trey Palmer (concussion) or Sterling Shepard is the one filling it.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Stays limited Thursday
McMillan (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan has a pair of capped sessions under his belt so far this week as he closes in on a return to action for the first time since Week 3. The hamstring injury that he sustained during a Sept. 27 practice has held him out of the Buccaneers' last two games, but he may have to be a full participant Friday in order to go into the weekend without a designation for Sunday's contest in New Orleans.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Limited in return to practice
McMillan (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
After injuring his hamstring in practice Sept. 27, McMillan missed the Buccaneers' last two contests, but his return to drills for the first time since then indicates he's made some progress in his recovery. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Trey Palmer (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, and Kameron Johnson (ankle) had a cap on his reps. How each of the trio fares the rest of the week should determine the pecking order at the position behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in Week 6 at New Orleans, but if he's available, McMillan likely will return to the third spot on the depth chart.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Ruled out for Thursday
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that McMillan (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Tampa Bay's receiver depth will be tested Week 5, as McMillan will be joined in street clothes Thursday by Trey Palmer (concussion). Kameron Johnson and Sterling Shepard are likely to serve as the main backup options behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Listed as DNP again
McMillan (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McMillan missed Sunday's win over the Eagles and isn't look good for Thursday at Atlanta. Trey Palmer replaced him as the No. 3 receiver and caught a TD early on against the Eagles, but Palmer then left the game with a concussion, thrusting Sterling Shepard into a significant role for the first time in years.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Estimated as non-practice participant
McMillan (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan was inactive for Sunday's win over the Eagles, so it's no surprise to see his DNP listing Monday. The 2024 third-rounder now has two more chances to see his listed participation level increase ahead of Week 5 action, but for now his status for Thursday's game against the Falcons is cloudy.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Not suiting up Sunday
McMillan (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The rookie No. 3 receiver was listed as doubtful after practicing on a limited basis Friday, and his inactive status now is official. McMillan's absence Sunday will vault second-year pro Trey Palmer back into the third wideout role he enjoyed success in as a rookie, when he posted a 39-385-3 line on 68 targets across 17 regular-season games before adding four more receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown in the postseason. McMillan will look to beat the short turnaround for a Week 5 Thursday night road clash against the Falcons and keep his absence limited to one contest.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Listed as doubtful for Sunday
McMillan (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan was injured in Friday's practice, which is never a good sign for a player's availability two days later. If McMillan can't play Sunday -- which seems likely -- look for Trey Palmer to reclaim WR3 duties in Tampa Bay against Philadelphia. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin should continue to command the lion's share of targets from Baker Mayfield.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Hurts hamstring in practice
McMillan injured his hamstring during Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Coach Todd Bowles referred to the injury as a "tweak", but McMIllan nonetheless figures to be added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. Trey Palmer likely will fill in as the No. 3 WR if McMillan is inactive or limited.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: One grab in Week 3 loss
McMillan brought in his only target for six yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
McMillan still saw a robust 77 percent snap share (44 snaps) as the clear No. 3 receiver Sunday, but he posted a new low in receiving yards after recording 32 and 21 on a catch apiece during his first two NFL games. However, it bears noting the entire afternoon was an exercise in underachievement as far as the Buccaneers offense was concerned, with Baker Mayfield throwing for only 163 yards at 4.9 yards per attempt. McMillan's first opportunity to atone for the underwhelming performance comes in a Week 4 home showdown against the Eagles this coming Sunday.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Solid gain on one catch
McMillan brought in one of two targets for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.
The rookie once again managed a 20-plus yard gain on his one reception after recording a 32-yard touchdown grab in Week 1. McMillan logged 37 snaps from scrimmage overall, significantly outpacing Trey Palmer, who was in on just nine plays on offense. McMillan still has plenty of chemistry to develop with Baker Mayfield, but he already seems to have a firm grasp on the No. 3 receiver role and has no shortage of field-stretching ability.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Maximizes one reception
McMillan brought in his only reception (on three targets) for a 32-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
The rookie paid immediate dividends in his first game as a pro, and his day would have been even bigger had he and QB Baker Mayfield connected on a deep shot down the right sideline early in the first quarter. However, the duo made up for the misfire on the first play of the fourth quarter for McMillan's one and only reception of the lopsided win. McMillan did play a robust 50 snaps from scrimmage while last season's No. 3 wideout Trey Palmer was limited to 20, seemingly establishing the former as the clear top option behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin heading into a Week 2 road showdown against the Lions.
