Jalen McMillan had a career day for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17 versus the Miami Dolphins.

In last week's loss to Miami, McMillan tallied a career-high 114 yards on nine receptions. The 24-year-old hasn't played much this season due to a neck injury suffered in the preseason, but he made his return in Week 15.

McMillan had a strong outing versus the Dolphins, but he's off to a quiet start in Week 18 against the Carolina Panthers.

Is Jalen McMillan playing today?

Yes, McMillan is active and playing.

However, he didn't receive a target during the Bucs' opening drive, which resulted in a Cade Otton touchdown from Baker Mayfield.

The rain in Tampa Bay could hinder McMillan and the receiver today. We'll see if the Washington product can get it going.
