Jalen McMillan Health, Injury Updates & History

McMillan is unlikely to return immediately following Tampa Bay's Week 10 bye as he continues recover...

McMillan was placed on injured reserve after suffering a PCL sprain in his left knee during Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, the Buccaneers receiver is projected to miss roughly six to eight weeks and will now be unavailable for at least the next four games

McMillan was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s matchup against the Vikings after suffering a left knee injury in the first quarter, the Buccaneers wide receiver was unable to return after being evaluated, leaving Tez Johnson and Ted Hurst in line for expanded roles in Tampa Bay’s passing game

Questionable for Week 2 as he continues to recover from his knee procedure

Doubtful for Week 1 with a lingering offseason knee injury

Recovered from the serious neck injury that derailed much of his 2025 campaign, when he sustained three fractured cervical vertebrae and two herniated discs after a preseason fall. McMillan made a successful return late in the season and completed his offseason rehabilitation without setbacks, participating fully throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp. He enters training camp healthy and expected to take on an expanded role in Tampa Bay's receiving corps, with the neck injury no longer considered a lingering concern.

McMillan has been activated from IR from his listed neck injury and is listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football after having been limited in three consecutive practices

Cleared for practice, and is progressing well, but like his teammate Mike Evans, is not quite there, and will miss Week 14

Seen wearing a neck brace after Saturday's preseason game, at the end of his 18-yard leaping catch in the first quarter, McMillan was undercut by a Steelers defender and landed hard on his neck and head region, he was able to walk to the sideline under his own power before being ruled out due to a back issue while also being evaluated for a concussion

Listed as questionable with a hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, he was a late addition to last week's injury report and missed W9, he returned to limited practice this week and could suit up for W10
