Buccaneers Receivers Back and Healthy | NFL News
About this episode
Tampa Bay’s receiver corps is finally turning the corner after a brutal injury-filled past two years. Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan are both back practicing — huge news after Egbuka’s offseason setbacks and McMillan’s long history of nagging injuries, including a broken neck last season. Chris Godwin, still under pressure from his massive contract, hasn’t lived up to expectations since his 2024 leg injury. McMillan showed flashes late last year, scoring seven of his eight TDs in five games. With the season opener against the Bengals looming, getting these key receivers healthy could be the spark the Bucs’ offense desperately needs — even if running back Sean Tucker’s status remains uncertain.

On September 7th, yo, so the Tevbe Buccaneer's Y receiver room has been a revolving door of injuries for the past two years. Both Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan have each missed 17 regular season games in that span. And now, heading into the new season, it looks like they're finally getting some key guys back on the field. The big news is that Ameca Agbuca and Jalen McMillan are both practicing. This is huge because they both been dealing with their own injury setbacks. Agbuca, who was the first round pick in 2025, has had some issues this off season. McMillan's injury history goes way back, even to his college days, and he missed a significant chunk of last season with a broken neck. It's been a tough road for these guys. Chris Godwin, despite signing a big 3-year $66 million deal before the 2025 season, hasn't looked like his old. Dominant self since a devastating leg injury in 2024. He had career lows last year, which puts a lot of pressure on that contract. Meanwhile, McMillan's journey has been particularly challenging.
He battled hamstring issues in college, and then missed four games last year with similar problems. But he did show flashes of brilliance towards the end of the season, scoring seven of his eight touchdowns in the final five games. With the season kicking off on September 13th against the Cincinnati Bengals, having Agbuca and McMillan back and healthy is a massive boost. It's still unclear if running back Sean Tucker will be ready, but the fact that these receivers are back on the practice field is a positive sign for the Bucks offense.
