Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan practices in full Wednesday

Brianna Dix

yesterday · 3:17 PM EDT

Jalen McMillan was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice as he continues working back from a knee injury.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson, Cade Otton

Fantasy Impact:

McMillan appears on track to return, although another full practice Thursday would strengthen that expectation. His presence would likely push rookie Ted Hurst out of the three-receiver package and make both Hurst and Tez Johnson difficult to use. McMillan himself remains a bench option until his role becomes clearer.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan, RB Sean Tucker doubtful for Week 1

Todd Bowles said Jalen McMillan and Sean Tucker are doubtful against Cincinnati despite both practicing on a limited basis Friday. Neither experienced a setback, but the Buccaneers expect to proceed without them. Emeka Egbuka is “full-go.”

Fantasy Impact:

Egbuka can be started without injury concerns and gains additional target stability with McMillan unlikely to play. Rookie Ted Hurst should receive more reps as Tampa Bay’s third receiver. Tucker’s expected absence consolidates the active backfield around Irving and Gainwell, while practice-squad back Josh Williams could be elevated.

Buccaneers get WRs back to practice Monday

Pro Football Talk

Sep 07 · 3:09 PM EDT

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters last week that receivers Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan were “headed in the right direction” as they deal with their respective injuries.

Both players took a step forward to start the week.

According to multiple reporters on the scene, Egbuka and McMillan both returned to practice on Monday — a positive sign for their Week 1 availability.

Related players: Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson, Ted Hurst

Fantasy Impact:

Egbuka has been dealing with a toe injury, while McMillan has a knee injury. It makes for a big impact on the Bucs WR depth chart as Egbuka is considered the team's WR1 and McMillan is in the mix for the WR3 spot with Johnson and the rookie Hurst, who is coming off a great camp and offseason.

Buccaneers expect WR Ted Hurst III to play role this season

Ted Hurst III has progressed from a future-focused prospect into a player expected to have a role this year

Related players: Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan, Tez Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

Jason Licht was quoted in the story as saying Hurst has proven himself throughout camp and OTAs. Once thought of as a future prospect, the Bucs now believe they can use him this season, and he's going to play a role. Hurst has had a very positive summer when it comes to press. He was only a later-round option in dynasty leagues this past spring, and while he still may be off the radar in typical redraft leagues, it's easy to see how he can earn some time behind Egbuka and Godwin this season.
