McMillan Healed, Ready to Replace Evans

Jalen McMillan, fully recovered from a serious neck injury, is ready to help the Buccaneers replace Mike Evans after a season-ending scare.

McMillan fractured three vertebrae and had herniated discs after landing on his head in a preseason game last season, limiting him to just four games. Despite the setback, the third-round pick caught 12 passes for 178 yards to close out the season. mchezo.co.za

"I am happy," McMillan said. "Just to be out there and to catch balls from Baker [Mayfield] and just to run on my feet, I feel good." With Mike Evans now in San Francisco, the Buccaneers are counting on McMillan's return. "Jalen's tough. His mental toughness is unbelievable," said coach Todd Bowles.
