Buccaneers WRs Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan have practice windows opened off IR

Dec 03, 2025

Sources: Bucs legendary WR Mike Evans is having his practice window opened off IR, and he’ll return to practice today. A quicker than expected return from a broken clavicle, Evans has been medically cleared.

So Jalen McMillan and Evans practice today.

Fantasy Impact:

We'll see what kind of immediate impact these two could have for your fantasy squads, but it's clearly a boost for Baker Mayfield if/when these two hit the field. We wouldn't expect either to suit up for Week 14, but we'll keep an eye on things to see how they'll be deployed if they play before the fantasy season wraps up.
