Tampa Bay wide receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan were activated from injured reserve on Wednesday and listed as questionable to play Thursday night against the visiting Atlanta Falcons.
Evans was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 22, two days after he broke his collarbone in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the host Detroit Lions.
McMillan, in turn, has been out since sustaining a neck injury during a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Aug. 16.
Evans, 32, has 14 catches for 140 yards and one touchdown in four games this season. He had missed three earlier games with a hamstring injury.
The six-time Pro Bowl selection had a record-tying streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, a mark set by Hall of Famer Jerry Rice from 1986-96.
Drafted with the seventh overall pick by Tampa Bay in 2014, Evans is the franchise's all-time leader in catches (850), receiving yards (12,824), touchdown receptions (106) and scoring (650 points).
McMillan, who turned 24 on Sunday, made a big impact last season after fellow wideout Chris Godwin was lost for the campaign in October. McMillan had seven touchdown receptions in the final five games as a rookie and totaled 37 catches for 461 yards and eight TDs in 13 games (12 starts).
Tampa Bay selected McMillan in the third round of the 2024 draft out of Washington.
The Bucs waived defensive lineman C.J. Brewer and wide receiver Ryan Miller.
Brewer, 28, had four tackles and one-half sack in five games as a reserve this season. Miller, 25, had two receptions on four targets and one TD in 13 games (three starts).
