News: 17 hours agoMcMillan (knee) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: McMillan is a fascinating late-round sleeper after he impressed as a rookie before missing all but four games due to injury last season. The 2024 third-round pick was featured during the final five games of his rookie season and exploded for a league-high seven TD catches (at least one in all five outings) and 19.8 fantasy PPG (more than 16.7 points in all five) in that span. He was limited in his return to action late in 2025, but did flash with a 7-114-0 performance on nine targets in Week 17. The 24-year-old has a path to a near-every-down role in 2026 with only Emeka Egbuka and 30-year-old Chris Godwin ahead of him on the depth chart. McMillan is worth the inexpensive flier on draft day.
