The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled all season with the health of their wide receivers, as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have been sidelined for long periods.
But both are now back in the line-up with Evans officially active for Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football.
However, there was another update that we noticed, and some might have missed.
Receiver Jalen McMillan, who has been dealing with a neck injury that has seen him not play a single snap this season, is also active for Thursday night as Baker Mayfield now gets two top weapons back to go with Godwin and Bucky Irving in the last few weeks.
Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan are officially active tonight.

McMillan the missing piece for Bucs offense?
He very well could be, and we only have to look back at his rookie season in 2024 to see how productive he was.
McMillan would post 461 yards with a whopping eight touchdowns as he and Mayfield developed quite the connection on the field, as he closed the season out with a touchdown in each of his last five games.
Now, adding that sort of talent to the offense that has Evans back as well, Godwin, and Emeka Egbuka, suddenly, the Buccaneers and Mayfield have an embarrassment of riches at the receiver position.
Tampa is getting healthy at the right time, and the Falcons are going to have to contend with them all tonight.
