Jalen McMillan Could Return Before Playoffs

Monday, November 24, 2:48 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-year wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) has spent the season on Injured Reserve after breaking several bones in his neck and suffering a severe sprain in a scary-looking preseason fall, but according to head coach Todd Bowles, the belief is that he could return to action before the end of the regular season. As a rookie in 2024, McMillan came on strong down the stretch, finishing the season with more than 500 receiving yards, while his eight touchdown grabs trailed only Mike Evans amongst Buccaneers pass catchers. In 2025, the team has again struggled to maintain a healthy receiving corps, and with quarterback Baker Mayfield exiting Sunday night's loss to the Rams with a sprained AC joint, the team has lost its division lead over the Carolina Panthers after a third straight loss. If the Buccaneers hope to have any success down the stretch and into the playoffs, a return to health from some of their absent stars feels like a necessity.
