Increases practice participation Hill (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Hill opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but the 33-year-old corner was able to go through Thursday's session in a limited capacity.

Downgrades to DNP on Thursday Smith (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Impact Smith was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, but he was unable to take the field Thursday. The rookie third-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his third game of the regular season, but he'd give himself a chance at playing against the Giants on Sunday if he's able to return to practice Friday.

Logs full practice Thursday Evans (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday.
Impact Evans thus is poised to put an end to a three-game absence due to the strained right hamstring that he aggravated during a Week 7 loss the Ravens. With fellow WR Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Evans will be the unquestioned top target for QB Baker Mayfield moving forward as he looks to build upon the 26-335-6 line on 45 targets that he's put up so far this season.

Limited to open week Wirfs (knee/foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Impact Wirfs sprained his right MCL during Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to San Francisco. The 2020 first-round pick took advantage of the Bucs' Week 11 bye to get additional rest and rehab on his knee, and he was able to participate in Wednesday's practice. Wirfs will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Past oblique injury Braswell (oblique) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Braswell suffered an oblique injury during the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. Thanks to the additional rest due to the Week 11 bye, Braswell was able to practice Wednesday without limitations, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Giants on Sunday. The rookie second-round pick has logged 11 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, through 10 regular-season games.

Working through ankle injury Hill (ankle) did not participate in the Buccaneers' first official practice of the week Wednesday.
Impact Hill was signed from the Bucs' practice squad to the active roster Monday to contribute depth to the secondary. However, he is nursing an ankle injury, which was serious enough for him to be sidelined for Wednesday's practice. If Hill is able to return to practice Thursday and/or Friday, that would give him a chance to suit up against the Giants on Sunday. Hill began the 2024 regular season with the Panthers, and before being released Oct. 18, he registered 32 tackles (20 solo) and one pass defended over six games.

Limited in return to practice Smith (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Smith suffered a knee injury in the final practice leading up to Tampa Bay's Week 10 clash against San Francisco, and the injury was severe enough for him to be sidelined for that contest. The Buccaneers enjoyed a bye for Week 11, and the additional rest has allowed Smith to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The rookie third-rounder will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Opens week as DNP McCollum (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact McCollum suffered a hamstring injury during the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. Even with the additional rest courtesy of the Week 11 bye, McCollum was unable to participate in Wednesday's session, and he will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Logs full practice in return Dean (hamstring) was a full participant Wednesday in the Buccaneers' first official practice of the week.
Impact Dean's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Monday, and the 2019 third-round pick started the week out strong with a full practice Wednesday. If he's able to practice without limitations Thursday and Friday, there's a good chance he would be activated off IR and suit up against the Giants on Sunday. In the five games prior to his hamstring injury suffered in Week 6 against the Saints, Dean logged 42 tackles (32 solo) and four pass defenses.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Logs full practice McMillan (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Impact McMillan was listed as active for Tampa Bay's final game before a Week 11 bye, but he was only available in the event of an injury to another player and didn't end up playing any snaps. He should be ready for his normal role two weeks later, facing the Giants on Sunday with fellow wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) expected back in the lineup. McMillan didn't do much even when both Evans and Chris Godwin (IR - ankle) were absent, but the rookie still figures to have a role down the stretch, likely operating as the Bucs' second or third WR.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in return to practice Evans (hamstring) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Coach Todd Bowles relayed to Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site earlier Wednesday that Evans was trending toward a return to action for Sunday's visit to the Giants. A capped showing to begin Week 12 prep indicates Evans will ramp up his workload as the week continues, meaning his activity will be monitored closely to ensure Bowles' thoughts become a reality this weekend. In the end, Evans is seeking his first game action since aggravating a right hamstring strain Week 7 versus the Ravens, which so far has sidelined him for three contests.

Trending toward return in Week 12 Coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Evans (hamstring) is trending toward a return to action Sunday at the Giants, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact After Evans aggravated a strained right hamstring Week 7 against the Ravens, Bowles relayed that the wide receiver would miss the three games before Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye. There was an expectation that Evans would be available after the team's midseason respite, but he'll need to get through this week unscathed in order to do so. He was seen on the field during Monday's unofficial practice coming out of the bye, and his listing on Wednesday's injury report could be telling for his upcoming availability.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to stay on IR Johnson (ankle) is not expected to be designated to return from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Johnson hasn't played since Week 5 and there is still no timetable for his return. Once he is healthy enough to practice, he'll have his 21-day window opened, but it's not clear when that will be.
