Bowles Pleased With McMillan's Return

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles expressed happiness over Jalen McMillan's return from a neck injury that sidelined him for 13 games last season.

Todd Bowles was relieved to see Jalen McMillan return to action after the young wide receiver missed 13 games due to a neck injury. Bowles noted McMillan showed no ill effects after taking a hit in his first game back, getting up without issue.

"He is a very talented guy and he is a very passionate guy. I think he fits in great with the receiver room and he is a workhorse," Bowles said. McMillan, who closed his rookie season with seven touchdowns in the final five games, caught 12 passes in the Buccaneers' final four games of 2025.
