Jalen McMillan’s Injury Status Ahead of Monday Night Football Against the Kansas City Chiefs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan is listed as questionable for the team’s Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hamstring injury. This is not the first time McMillan has dealt with a hamstring issue this season; he previously missed Weeks 4 and 5 and played only 18% of snaps in Week 6 because of the same injury.

McMillan’s role in the offense had been expected to expand due to injuries to the team’s top receivers, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Evans is set to miss at least three more games with a hamstring injury, and Godwin will not play again this season due to an ankle injury. However, McMillan’s own injury complicates his availability for the upcoming game.

In Week 8, McMillan was targeted seven times but managed only four catches for 35 yards. His performance has been inconsistent, and the severity of his current hamstring strain will be a key factor in determining whether he plays against the Chiefs. Both McMillan and fellow wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who is also dealing with a hamstring injury, will need to participate in pregame workouts to determine their availability.

The Buccaneers face a challenging matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have a strong pass defense. This, combined with McMillan’s injury, makes his fantasy football prospects uncertain for the week.
