Todd Bowles provides significant injury update for Buccaneers WR who has been overlooked.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have faced numerous injuries this season, sidelining key players for extended periods. Recently, Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin have returned to action, while veteran receiver Mike Evans is still recovering. Meanwhile, another wide receiver is making progress in his comeback.

Jalen McMillan, who suffered a neck sprain and fractures during the preseason, has been slowly reintegrating as the coaching staff carefully monitors his recovery. On Monday, head coach Todd Bowles provided the most significant update on McMillan's condition so far.

He's been running, Bowles stated. It's just a matter of him putting on the helmet and seeing where he has strength-wise with his neck. He'll start doing more this week, and we'll see exactly whether it's individual or whether it's certain some more things this week as well, but he will start moving around.

The return of Irving and Godwin has been a boost for quarterback Josh Grizzard and the team's offensive unit. With McMillan now beginning more activity, theres hope Tampa Bay could see him back in action soon. Evans is also expected to return at some point in December, which will further strengthen the offense.

As the Carolina Panthers remain close in the NFC South standings, getting key players back is crucial for the Buccaneers to hold their division lead. While McMillan may still be some time away from full practice and gameplay, Bowles update is an encouraging sign for Tampa Bay fans.
