The Bucs made a few observe squad elevations on Saturday that might give us some clues about participant availability for Sunday’s house recreation towards the 49ers, who’re 4-4. Tampa Bay elevated broad receiver Marquez Callaway from the observe squad, which could possibly be an indication that the standing of broad receiver Jalen McMillan comes all the way down to a game-time resolution like final week.
McMillan, who’s listed as questionable for the second straight week, re-injured his hamstring in observe main as much as the Week 9 recreation at Kansas Metropolis after lacking Weeks 4 and 5 because of a hamstring harm but returning to motion in Weeks 6, 7 and eight. The Bucs anticipated him to play on Monday night time versus the Chiefs, however he went via pre-game warm-ups and felt like he couldn’t go and didn’t play.
McMillan drew some slight criticism from Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield after the Chiefs recreation, eluding to the likelihood that McMillan may not have been looking for the right rehab or preventative stretching to place his hamstring harm behind him.
“I came upon within the locker room once we bought right here, or after he did the exercise,” Mayfield mentioned. “We had some performs designed for him. That’s a part of being a professional, you’ve bought to handle your physique. Generally unlucky issues occur however you’ve bought to do all the pieces you may to get able to play for this group.”
McMillan missed the primary two practices of the week, however was restricted throughout Friday’s observe. He’s believed to be a game-time resolution as soon as once more for the 49ers recreation.

Jones performed three snaps on protection in final week’s recreation at Kansas Metropolis.
With Tampa Bay coming into Week 10 with a 4-5 file, the group would love nothing higher to get again to .500 because the Bucs enter their bye week.
Large receiver Mike Evans and cornerback Jamel Dean are anticipated to return after the bye week from their hamstring accidents. Evans was not positioned on injured reserve and has been dominated out for Sunday’s recreation versus San Francisco.
