Remains sidelined at practice
McMillan (knee) remains sidelined at Tuesday's practice, PewterReport.com reports.
McMillan missed most of training camp with the issue, but there's been optimism about McMillan being available for Week 1 against the Bengals in 12 days. McMillan is expected to fill the third receiver role alongside Emeka Egbuka (toe) and Chris Godwin this season, though rookie Ted Hurst is also likely to see sub-package snaps at the position. McMillan appeared in just four regular-season games last season due to a neck injury. He turned 15 targets into 12 catches for 178 scoreless yards after producing eight touchdowns as a rookie in 2024.
