Jalen McMillan Has Injured Back, Possible Concussion

He was down on the turf for a couple of minutes and it felt a lot longer.

On a 3rd-and-8 throw on the Bucs’ opening drive, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw a high ball downfield to McMillan who elevated for the catch, got upended and landed on his head. The TV replay looked ugly, with McMillan landing on his head and his neck appearing to compress awkwardly.

Amazingly, McMillan held on for the 18-yard catch and a first down. Gamer!
