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.

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.

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.

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.

Added to active roster The Buccaneers signed Hill to their active roster Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Hill joined the Buccaneers' practice squad in late October after being released by the Panthers earlier in the season. The veteran cornerback could contribute in Tampa Bay's secondary immediately, as the team is dealing with injuries to Tykee Smith (knee), Zyon McCollum (hamstring), Jamel Dean (hamstring) and Bryce Hall (ankle) heading into the Week 12 matchup against the Giants.

Gets okay to practice Tampa Bay designated Dean (hamstring) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Dean has spent the Tampa Bay's last four games on injured reserve with a hamstring issue he picked up in Week 6 at New Orleans, but it now appears he's on track to come back soon. The Buccaneers will have 21 days to officially activate him before they would be forced to leave him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

Takes field for practice Evans (hamstring) was spotted on the field Monday during the portion of the Buccaneers' practice that was open to the media, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coming out of their Week 11 bye, the Buccaneers held a bonus practice Monday, but the team won't issue its first official Week 12 practice report until Wednesday, at which point the extent of Evans' activity will be known. Evans missed the Buccaneers' final three games before the bye week due to a right hamstring strain, but the club's decision not to place him on injured reserve implied that he was expected to return to action this Sunday against the Giants. The Buccaneers will wait and see how Evans fares during practices Wednesday through Friday before making a call on his status for the Week 12 contest.

Notches sack in Week 10 Kancey posted five tackles (all solo), including a sack, and forced a fumble against the 49ers in Sunday's loss.

Impact Kancey made a big sack of Brock Purdy late in the fourth quarter, and he forced Purdy to fumble on the play, though San Francisco was able to recover. The sack resulted in a third down, and the 49ers came up empty on the drive when Jake Moody missed a field goal two plays later. Kancey has tallied 3.0 sacks over the past two weeks, and with 4.0 sacks over five contests on the campaign he's already tied the total he registered over 14 regular-season games last year.
