- Sep 25 Buccaneers Team Site Jalen McMillan Getting "Back into It," Communication is Key in Facing Brian Flores' Blitz-Centric Defense | Bucs Blitz
- Bucs OLB Rueben Bain Jr. (groin) and LB Josiah Trotter (shoulder) and OLB Anthony Nelson (shin) did not practice Wed. QB Baker Mayfield (illness), WR Jalen McMillan (knee) and CB Jacob Parrish (back) had full participation.
- Bowles, asked about Jalen McMillan playing only 7 snaps with no targets in first game back from a knee injury: "He's healthy and he's not all the way there yet, but he's closer to getting there. Just to get him in and try to get him juiced up and get him going was a good start."
- Snap counts are out for Bucs vs. Browns. Careful with Jalen McMillan in first game back with only nine snaps. Nine snaps with Irving, Gainwell both in the game. Less nickel than usual with Scott playing 57 percent.
