Rakim Jarrett - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Blanked in Week 15 win Jarrett did not draw a target over seven snaps in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact After logging between one and four targets in four straight games between Weeks 8 and 12, Jarrett hasn't had a pass thrown his way in three consecutive contests. Additionally, unlike the first two instances in which he was blanked on offense, Jarrett didn't see any returner work either Sunday, making it a washout of a day from a fantasy perspective. Jarrett's exact positioning on the depth chart is hard to determine on a game-by-game basis, but it is accurate to say he's no better than a co-No. 4 receiver alongside Trey Palmer at the moment.

One kickoff return in win Jarrett did not draw any targets over 10 snaps from scrimmage and returned one kickoff for 23 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Jarrett saw one fewer snap than in Week 13 against the Panthers, and just like in that game, the only time he touched the ball came as a kickoff returner. The speedy second-year wideout is rotating snaps with Trey Palmer at the No. 4 receiver spot, but neither player is involved in the offense with all of Baker Mayfield's attention essentially centered on those above them on the positional depth chart, as well as tight end Cade Otton and versatile running backs Rachaad White and Bucky Irving (back).

Limited to kick returns Sunday Jarrett did not draw a target but returned two kickoffs for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Jarrett did log 11 snaps on offense, but he saw his four-game streak of at least one catch snapped. The speedy second-year wideout saw his first touches on special teams this season, however, which could portend a new role for Jarrett as a means of getting the ball in his hands.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Big gain on one catch Jarrett secured his only target for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Jarrett logged 21 snaps (32 percent) in the lopsided victory, experiencing quite the dip in playing time with the return of both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan from hamstring issues. Jarrett had played over 40 snaps in each of the previous two games with his pair of teammates sidelined, but as he demonstrated Sunday, his big-play ability has the potential to continue affording him a solid complementary role in an offense in need of pass-catching playmakers.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in OT loss Jarrett secured his only target for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Impact A week after making his season debut, Jarrett saw a notable boost to 46 snaps (84 percent) to lead all of the Buccaneers' short-handed receiving corps. However, the second-year wideout saw a drop in production after generating a 3-58 line on just 20 plays from scrimmage in Week 8, despite the ongoing absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle), as well as that of Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Despite the disappointing numbers, Jarrett should have a solid amount of opportunity again in a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.

OCTOBER 30 • BUCCANEERS.COM

Solid showing on three catches Jarrett brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Jarrett was making his season debut after overcoming a preseason knee injury, and he finished with the Buccaneers' second-highest yardage total despite playing just 20 snaps (27 percent). The Maryland product could continue carving out a steady role over the next two games considering Mike Evans (hamstring) isn't expected back until after the Week 11 bye, and at least Sunday, Jarrett was more productive than all of Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer and Sterling Shepard, the receivers in front of him on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to action Week 8 Jarrett (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers official site reports.

Impact Jarrett began the season on injured reserve after undergoing offseason knee surgery. He's been working his way back into action and was able to log a trio of full practices this week, setting up his activation from IR on Saturday. Jarrett had just four catches on nine targets for 60 yards over 10 games as a rookie last year, but he has a chance to make an impression Sunday given the depleted state of Tampa Bay's receiver corps, as both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) will not be suiting up.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Brought off IR The Buccaneers announced Saturday that Jarrett (knee) has been activated from IR, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Jarrett is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but it's encouraging to see him activated from IR in advance of the divisional matchup. If he's able to suit up Sunday, Jarrett will have opportunities to contribute in a Tampa Bay wide receiver corps that's without Mike Evans (hamstring) for Week 8 and Chris Godwin (knee) for the remainder of the year.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Impact Jarrett logged three consecutive practice sessions and was designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 17, so it appears he's nearing a return to the field. The Maryland product must still be activated to Tampa Bay's active roster in order to suit up in Week 8. If he isn't activated by Saturday, expect Ryan Miller to see increased work in the Buccaneers' wide receiver corps.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice participant Wednesday Jarrett (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Jarrett had his 21-day practice window open Oct. 17, and despite not playing Monday against the Ravens, he was able to log a full practice session Saturday. If he's able to practice without any restrictions for the rest of the week, he could be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. Jarrett's return would be timely after Chris Godwin (ankle) was placed on IR and with Mike Evans set to miss the next three games due to a right hamstring injury.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return for Week 7 Jarrett (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official sitea repor...

Impact Jarrett started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason. His 21-day practice window opened Thursday, and while he was able to practice without restrictions Saturday, he will not be activated off IR for Week 7. Given his practice participation, Jarrett should be available for Week 8 against the Falcons on Oct. 27, barring any setbacks. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Bucs in 2023 and finished with four catches (on nine targets) for 60 yards.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for return to practice The Buccaneers announced Thursday that Jarrett (knee) has had his 21-day practice window opened, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Head coach Todd Bowles said Jarrett underwent knee surgery during the offseason, but that he was operating at full speed in his return to practice Thursday, per Smith. The depth wideout can be added to the 53-man roster at any point in the next three weeks, so he could be a candidate to retake the field as soon as Monday's game against the Ravens.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss first four games Tampa Bay placed Jarrett (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list with a designation to return Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact The transaction means Jarrett will have to sit out for at least the first four games of the season but will be eligible to return come Week 5. Whether there's space for him on the 53-man roster at that point may depend on the health of the Buccaneers' other running backs.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to land on IR Coach Todd Bowles acknowledged that Jarrett (undisclosed) is likely to begin the coming campaign on IR, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact With roster cut-downs looming, it looks like Jarrett's unspecified injury will cost him time out of the gate this season. In his anticipated absence, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer are projected to lead the Bucs' WR corps heading into Week 1.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to be ready by Week 1 Jarrett's undisclosed injury is expected to extend into the regular season, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Specifics about the injury haven't been made clear, but it appears that the issue is serious enough to put Jarrett's status for the season opener in doubt. The second-year wideout has been slated for a depth role in Tampa Bay's wide-receiver room. He got into 10 contests as an undrafted rookie last year, catching four of nine targets for 60 yards over 106 offensive snaps.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing unspecified injury Jarrett did not practice Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The second-year wideout was able to log 31 snaps in the preseason-opening win over the Bengals on Saturday night, but head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Jarrett was a non-participant in the first practice following that contest. Bowles confirmed Jarrett was "nursing an injury" without offering any more specifics, and it remains to be seen if the receiver will be able to participate in the first day of joint practices with the Jaguars on Wednesday.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Pair of catches in preseason win Jarrett secured both targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night.

Impact Jarrett was second on the Bucs in receiving yards on the night, slotting in just seven yards behind one of his primary competitors for a deep reserve receiver spot in Ryan Miller. Jarrett has the advantage of having appeared in 10 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023, but with Miller having recorded a team-high 42 receiving yards Saturday, Jarrett appears to have formidable competition on his hands.

Inactive Monday Jarrett (Coach's Decision) is inactive for Monday's wild card game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The depth wide receiver missed the last seven games of the regular season with a quadriceps injury, but he did not appear on Tampa Bay's injury report Thursday. In the 10 games he did play in 2023, Jarrett saw 106 offensive snaps and caught four passes for 60 yards and no touchdowns.
