McMillan Fully Healed from Neck Injury

Buccanees receiver Jalen McMillan has fully recovered from a neck injury that nearly ended his career and is ready to help replace Mike Evans.

Jalen McMillan, who fractured three vertebrae and had herniated discs after a scary preseason injury, has made a full recovery. The Buccaneers receiver played only four games last season but caught 12 passes for 178 yards to close out the year. truewildgame.online

"I am happy," McMillan said. "Just to be out there and to catch balls from Baker [Mayfield] and just to run on my feet, I feel good." With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, the Bucs will need McMillan's production. He made 37 receptions for 461 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games before the injury. Coach Todd Bowles praised McMillan's toughness and competitiveness.
