Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan returned to practice today from a leg injury. He missed a little over two weeks with the injury, but appeared to be a full participant according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
What They're Saying: Back On The Field

The Buccaneers have certainly been dealing with injuries in their WR group this offseason. Emeka Egbuka is dealing with a sprained toe and is in danger of missing Week 1. Chris Godwin himself has had plenty of veteran rest days, though no injuries have been reported for him.
McMillan can certainly be productive if he's on the field. He's already pegged as the team's No. 3 WR, despite the emergence of rookie WR Ted Hurst. That's why McMillan has remained on our list of sleepers for this season.
McMillan currently sits as WR58 in our PPR WR Rankings. That could keep trending upward if bad news emerges about Evans' or Egbuka’s availability for the start of the season.
If the leg injury has moved you away from drafting McMillan, feel confident throwing a dart on him again in the late rounds.
