Bowles Praises McMillan’s Return After Neck Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles praised Jalen McMillan’s return after a neck injury, noting his talent and bright future.

McMillan finished his rookie season with seven touchdowns in the final five games, but a preseason neck injury kept him out of the first 13 games of 2025. He returned to catch 12 passes in the last four games, and Bowles said the wideout’s comeback is a positive sign for the team.

Bowles highlighted McMillan’s work ethic and passion, calling him a “workhorse” who fits well in the receiver room and has a promising future ahead.
