The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't had the services of wide receiver Jalen McMillan the entire season.
McMillan suffered a neck injury back in the preseason that landed him on injured reserve, where he remained through Week 14.
However, the Bucs designated him to return from injured reserve last week and he has since logged six limited practices in a row and draws the questionable tag for the Thursday night contest against the Atlanta Falcons.
Here's what we know about his status for Week 15.
Is Jalen McMillan playing tonight?
Answer: Most likely
The Bucs activated McMillan off injured reserve on Wednesday, so that's a clear sign he is almost certainly going to play.
The only uncertainty left is McMillan still has a questionable tag, but we still expect him to be active.
Jalen McMillan start or sit advice
There are multiple reasons to not start McMillan on Thursday.
For starters, he's going to have a lot of rust to shake off after being out all season long. Furthermore, his snaps are likely to be limited in his first game back.
McMillan is also serving as the No. 4 option in the passing attack behind fellow wide receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka, so there won't be many opportunities for him in this game.
This is an easy one: sit McMillan in Week 15.
Verdict: Sit
