    Bucs Rookie WR Injured in Last Practice

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already had a player get injured on the final day of practice for game day, and now it has happened again.

    Before the Bucs faced off against the Washington Commanders in Week 1, defensive tackle Calijah Kancey suffered a calf injury that has kept him sidelined since then. Now, it is a member of the Buccaneers' offense that may miss this week's game.

    Following Friday's practice, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles informed reporters that rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan had tweaked his hamstring during practice.

    He is currently listed as doubtful for the team's Sunday game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which stings a bit, as the team could use all the help they can get against an intimidating defense.

    McMillan had one catch for 32 yards in the team's Week 1 game against the Commanders, but he has not done much since then, as Chris Godwin has become the focal point of the offense.

    While he may not be back in time to play the Eagles, whenever he does come back, he will be looking to make his presence felt and help the Bucs' wide receiver corps be better than it already is.
