Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: On field for Monday's practice
McMillan (knee) was on the field running routes at Monday's practice, PewterReport.com reports.
Both McMillan and Emeka Egbuka (toe) were participating in Monday's session, putting both in good position to play Sunday against the Bengals. McMillan missed most of training camp, but his injury never sounded serious. He's expected to compete with rookie Ted Hurst for WR3 duties behind Egbuka and Chris Godwin this season. McMillan is the favorite to open the campaign in three-wide sets.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Remains sidelined at practice
McMillan (knee) remains sidelined at Tuesday's practice, PewterReport.com reports.
McMillan missed most of training camp with a knee issue, but optimism is building for his Week 1 availability. He's expected to fill the No. 3 receiver role behind Emeka Egbuka (toe) and Chris Godwin, though 2026 third-round pick Ted Hurst is also likely to see sub-package snaps, and Tez Johnson acquitted himself well as a rookie when he got the chance last year. McMillan appeared in just four regular-season games last season due to a neck injury. He turned 15 targets into 12 catches for 178 yards and zero TDs after producing eight touchdowns as a rookie in 2024.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Optimism for Week 1
Head coach Todd Bowles said Saturday that he expects McMillan (knee) to be available for the Buccaneers' Week 1 clash against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 13, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
McMillan has been recovering from a knee injury he sustained in early August, which has limited his reps in training camp practices and prevented him from playing in each of the Buccaneers' three preseason games. There's optimism that the third-year wideout will not miss regular-season action, but his practice participation over the next two weeks will provide more clarity on his status for Week 1. With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, McMillan is projected to be Tampa Bay's WR3 this season behind Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka (toe), with Tez Johnson and rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst also in the mix for snaps on offense.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Likely to sit out preseason finale
McMillan (knee) didn't travel with the Buccaneers to Jacksonville for Wednesday's joint practice with the Jaguars, PewterReport.com reports.
The Buccaneers will reconvene with the Jaguars on Friday in Jacksonville for the preseason finale, and McMillan would appear safe to rule out for that contest after not making the trip north from Tampa. McMillan hasn't played at all in preseason while managing a lingering knee injury, and though he appeared to make some progress last week by returning to practice in a limited fashion, he may have since taken a step back in his recovery. He didn't practice in any capacity Tuesday in the first of the Buccaneers' two joint sessions with the Jaguars.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Not practicing Tuesday
McMillan (knee) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
McMillan was able to return to practice last Tuesday, but the third-year wideout is apparently still dealing with some limitations as he works his way back from a knee injury that has kept him off the field for much of August. The Buccaneers haven't clarified whether McMillan's absence from practice Tuesday is the result of a setback, or if he's simply getting a maintenance day. He seems to be trending toward sitting out Friday's preseason finale versus the Jaguars.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Ruled out for second preseason game
McMillan (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City, River Wells of BucsGameday reports.
McMilan returned to practice Tuesday after missing a week of action with a lingering knee issue, but per head coach Todd Bowles he will be eased back into action and will not suit up for Tampa Bay's second exhibition contest. In McMillan's absence, rookie Ted Hurst could continue to get extra reps with the first-team offense.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Practicing again after week-long absence
McMillan (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
It's unclear if he'll be a full participant, but McMillan is at least suiting up and taking part. He's been dealing with a knee injury for the past couple weeks, missing Tampa Bay's preseason opener against the Jets. McMillan should have plenty of time to get right for Week 1.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Labeled day-to-day by head coach
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that McMillan (knee) is considered day-to-day, PewterReport.com reports.
He remained sidelined at practice Monday along with Emeka Egbuka (toe), whom Bowles referred to as "day-to-day, week-to-week," per Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay. McMillan has been tending to a sore knee for nearly two weeks, with the issue preventing him from playing in last week's preseason opener versus the Jets. The third-year wideout is trending toward another absence for Saturday's exhibition versus the Chiefs, but the Buccaneers haven't yet indicated that McMillan's availability for the start of the regular season is in any jeopardy.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Doesn't play Friday vs. NYJ
McMillan (knee) did not play in Friday's 26-14 preseason win over the Jets.
McMillan has been working through a knee issue over the past couple of weeks, and he joined fellow wideouts Emeka Egbuka (toe), Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson (groin), Kameron Johnson and David Sills on the sidelines for Friday's exhibition game. McMillan has been cleared to participate in individual drills in practice, but it remains to be seen whether he's available for the Buccaneers' second preseason game against the Chiefs on Saturday, Aug. 22. With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, McMillan is projected to serve as Tampa Bay's WR3 behind Egbuka and Godwin.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Involved in position drills Tuesday
McMillan (knee) is doing individual drills at Tuesday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Even if he isn't a full participant, McMillan's relatively quick return to practice seemingly confirms that his knee injury isn't serious. He's been out for about a week but may now be ready for a preseason appearance. McMillan is the favorite for Tampa Bay's No. 3 WR job, behind returning starters Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin. Competition for snaps primarily comes from Tez Johnson and rookie Ted Hurst.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Remains sidelined at practice
McMillan (knee) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan has been sidelined all week after suffering a knee injury at some point prior to Monday's practice. The wide receiver has been wearing a compression sleeve on his left leg, and at this point, the team hasn't expressed a significant level of concern about the injury. McMillan will be battling with rookie Ted Hurst and second-year wideout Tez Johnson (groin) for targets behind expected leaders Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka in the wide receiver room this season.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Dealing with knee issue
McMillan didn't practice Monday or Tuesday after banging a knee "a couple days ago," Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan was wearing a sleeve on his left calf during practice Tuesday, but it sounds like the issue that's kept him out of practice is related to one of his knees. Head coach Todd Bowles suggested the Bucs are just being careful with McMillan, so it doesn't appear he's dealing with a long-term issue.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Held out of practice Tuesday
McMillan (calf) isn't practicing Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Per Laine, McMillan is wearing a compression sleeve on his left calf and was dealing with some soreness Monday, when he was also kept out of practice. It doesn't sound like the issue is a major concern, especially at this point in camp, but the Bucs are likely to play it safe with the wideout until he's able to shake the soreness. McMillan missed most of last year due to a neck injury, though he has a chance to move up to a bigger role in 2026 following the departure of Mike Evans to San Francisco.
