Signs with Jags Jacksonville has signed Mickens off Tampa Bay's practice squad, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mickens suited up for the Bucs' first six games but never saw any snaps. He has since been on their practice squad. The 27-year-old will now return to the team with which he spent his first three seasons. The Jaguars will presumably use him as a depth receiver and special teams contributor.

NOVEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to returns Mickens did not log a target in three snaps from scrimmage and returned three punts for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

Impact Mickens was solid in his return duties, but even with Scotty Miller (toe) still on injured reserve, he did not have a role in the offense. The 27-year-old does not have a target this season across 18 snaps from scrimmage, but he's accrued 129 kickoff return yards and another 54 on punt runbacks.

Back to full speed Mickens (abdomen) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Mickens was limited Wednesday after missing the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams due to an abdomen injury, but he has appartely been cleared moving forward. The 27-year-old wideout has yet to log an offcensie snap, but he does serve as the team's primary kick and punt returner.

Limited participant Wednesday Mickens (abdomen) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Impact Mickens was unable to practice at all leading up to the Buccaneers' Week 3 matchup against the Rams, so his presence on the field in any capacity is a step forward. If he's able to suit up in Week 4 against New England, Mickens should return to his role as both the primary punt- and kick-returner for Tampa Bay.

Won't travel with team Head coach Bruce Arians said Mickens (abdomen) will not travel with the team this weekend, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact As expected, Mickens won't be available for Week 3 after missing back-to-back practices. The 27-year-old return specialist has totaled 116 kick-return yards and 21 punt-return yards through the first two weeks of the season. Jaelon Darden is expected to make his NFL debut against the Rams on Sunday night with Mickens sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Another missed practice Mickens (abdomen) did not practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mickens has missed back-to-back sessions due to an abdominal issue, so he only has one more opportunity to upgrade his reps before Sunday's contest in Los Angeles. Jaelon Darden, who was inactive Week 2, could be in line to operate as Tampa Bay's top return man if Mickens misses time.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with abdominal issue Mickens didn't practice Wednesday due to an abdominal injury, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mickens wasn't expected to practice Wednesday after picking up a hip injury during Sunday's win over the Falcons, but he ended up being listed on the injury report with an abdominal issue. The 27-year-old likely will need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend against the Rams.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Coach Bruce Arians said that Mickens (hip) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Mickens was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Falcons after picking up a hip injury. The 27-year-old has been Tampa Bay's primary return man so far this season. Giovani Bernard and Scotty Miller each returned kicks against Atlanta after Mickens left the contest, so expect them to share the return duties in Week 3 if he is unable to suit up.
