Injury Concern For Zyon McCollum
September 10th, 2025
Perhaps Graham Barton can play cornerback, too?
It sounds like the Bucs might be thinking about starting a rookie at outside cornerback on Monday night in Houston, Joe believes. Head coach/defensive coordiantor Todd Bowles said yesterday that starting big-money corner Zyon McCollum has an injury concern.
“I’m hoping [rookie Benjamin] Morrison is back this week, ” Bowles told the Buccaneers Radio Network, referring to his rookie cornerback. “If Morrison is back this week, that could help us out from a corner standpoint and especially since Zyon was a little nicked up. So we’ll have the corner situation chiseled out. The safety situation, we’ll just see when [Christian Izien] comes back.”
McCollum left Sunday’s game injured but returned quickly.
The first official Bucs injury report of this week will be released Thursday afternoon. It’s usually revealed on Wednesday, but its release is pushed back a day when a team plays on a Monday.
Joe’s not betting against McCollum. Growing up in the Houston market, McCollum is no doubt extra hungry to be on the field. He didn’t miss a game last season.
