Bowles: McMillan has 'great football ahead of him'

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles expressed relief and pride over Jalen McMillan's return from a neck injury, praising the rookie's toughness and work ethic.

McMillan missed the first 13 games but finished the season strong, catching 12 passes in the final four contests. Bowles noted he was unsure if the receiver would return or handle the jitters, but was relieved when McMillan got up after a vicious hit. With Mike Evans potentially leaving as a free agent, McMillan's continued health is seen as crucial for the team's future.
