Clear for training camp New England activated McMillan off the active/PUP list Monday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Impact McMillan's stint on the physically-unable to perform list lasted less than a week, and it appears he'll be ready to go for the first day of training camp Wednesday. Provided he doesn't suffer any more setbacks with his knee, he'll work in a depth role in the Pats' front seven and in a regular capacity on special teams.

Lands on PUP list McMillan (knee) was added to the Patriots' active/PUP list Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McMillan will not be allowed to practice during New England's upcoming training camp until he is removed from this list, a move that the Patriots can make at any time before the start of the regular season. The linebacker suffered a torn ACL last offseason, forcing him to miss the entirety of the 2021 campaign. McMillan is expected to make a full recovery from this injury, and he should push for a role at inside linebacker behind Ja'Whaun Bentley and Mack Wilson heading into the regular season.

Ready to make impact in New England McMillan (knee) said in May that he's "ready to go" after missing the entire 2021 campaign due to a torn ACL, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McMillan signed a one-year, $1.15 million deal with the Patriots last offseason, but he never appeared in a regular season game for his new team after tearing his ACL while covering a kickoff during an offseason practice. McMillan said, "it's been a long year for me, but we're moving forward. After sitting back and watching, I'm ready to go." The 2017 second-round pick recorded 177 tackles across 19 appearances during his first two seasons in Miami, but he served more as a depth piece with Las Vegas in 2020. New England lost Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy this offseason, so McMillan may operate as a starter, which could elevate him into fantasy relevancy in IDP leagues.

Still held back by knee McMillan (knee) was limited during OTAs, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Impact Apparently it was premature to assume McMillan had fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered in August of 2021. New England already has the middle of its defense locked down by Ja'Whaun Bentley, who notched 109 tackles last season, with recent trade acquisition Mack Wilson available in reserve. Assuming McMillan is ready to play come Week 1, he'll likely see most of his action on special teams.

Clean bill of health McMillan (knee) is participating in OTAs, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact McMillan missed last season after suffering a torn ACL during practice in August. The 26-year-old last played with the Raiders in 2020 and was more of a contributor on special teams than defense. How big of a role a healthy McMillan will play in the Patriots' linebacker rotation remains to be seen.

Extended through 2022 McMillan (knee) signed a one-year extension Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact McMillan suffered a torn ACL during training camp so will not take the field this season. It's possible that his role expands in 2022 if he proves fully healthy, though he was likely headed for a role primarily on special teams while also serving as depth among the team's linebacker corps.

Suffers torn ACL McMillan was placed on injured reserve Saturday after he suffered a torn ACL in a recent practice, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact McMillan missed his rookie season in 2017 due to a torn ACL, and he's now dealing with the same injury in his other knee. The linebacker signed a one-year deal with the Patriots during the offseason after he played mostly on special teams with the Raiders last year, but he won't be back on the field until at least 2022.

Will sign with Patriots McMillan is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Patriots on Friday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though Washington was keeping tabs on McMillan during free agency, it appears the linebacker's heading to New England. McMillan compiled a career high in tackles (105) and had two forced fumbles as a rookie with the Dolphins in 2018, but he spent more time on special teams than defense in his lone Raiders campaign in 2020.

Moving to Las Vegas McMillan was traded to the Raiders from the Dolphins on Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact This is a bit of a shocking transaction given Miami lost possible starting middle linebacker Vince Biegel (Achilles) early in the preseason, leaving Elandon Roberts and Kamu Grugier-Hill as the only possible veteran fill-ins. It's also strange from the Raiders' perspective given the team just signed Cory Littleton to a three-year, $36 million contract this past offseason which would seemingly make the McMillan acquisition redundant. It's unclear what type of compensation was given up to acquire the 2017 second-round pick, but the 24-year-old will nevertheless be forced to compete for defensive snaps in 2020.
