TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS NEWS

Scott Miller - Doesn't see field in win Miller was active but did not log a snap in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Miller's status as a non-participant in the offense only further solidifies how far he's apparently fallen in the wideout hierarchy for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay will be down yet another pass catcher once Antonio Brown is eventually cut, but it remains to be seen if that development will actually translate to any meaningful action for Miller, even in the relatively meaningless Week 18 finale versus the Panthers.

Le'Veon Bell - Pass-catching role in win Bell rushed three times for five yards and secured all three targets for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday. He also had a two-point conversion run.

Impact In his second game as a Buccaneer, Bell came through with his trademark receiving skills on an important drive in the game. The veteran recorded two of his three catches on a early fourth-quarter possession that culminated in a Ryan Succop 27-yard field goal to bring Tampa Bay within four points. Bell could see his role expand further in Week 18 against the Panthers with both Ronald Jones (ankle) and Ke'Shawn Vaughn (ribs) dealing with injuries and the offense down another pass catcher with the imminent release of Antonio Brown.

Ryan Succop - Perfect in Week 17 win Succop converted field-goal attempts from 27 and 39 yards and also drilled his two extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday

Impact The veteran kicker missed an opportunity at even more productive day when the Buccaneers went for two points following their final touchdown. Succop has now drilled six straight field-goal attempts to up his success rate in that category to 85.2 percent, inching him closer to the impressive 90.3 percent figure he posted during the team's championship 2020 season.

Cameron Brate - Another TD in Week 17 win Brate brought in two of three targets for five yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Brate was able to make good use of his scant opportunities, crossing the goal line for the second time in as many games on a four-yard grab late in the third quarter. Brate's targets will likely continue to be limited in Week 18 and the postseason, but Antonio Brown's expected release should theoretically open up more potential targets in the air attack.

Breshad Perriman - Pair of grabs in win Perriman hauled in two of three targets for 41 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Perriman logged a 32-yard grab, the second longest of the day for Tampa Bay, against one of his old squads, but his afternoon was fairly uneventful overall. However, that may not be the case in Week 18 and the postseason, as Antonio Brown's expected release will potentially bump Perriman up all the way to the No. 2 receiver role.

Tyler Johnson - Four grabs in win Johnson brought in four of six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Johnson logged 49 snaps (66%) from scrimmage and put together a solid line overall after not seeing any passes come his way across 36 snaps in the Week 16 win over the Panthers a week earlier. The second-year wideout is set to serve as no less than the No. 3 receiver for Week 18 and the postseason, as Antonio Brown's forthcoming release from the team removes another obstacle for playing time. Additionally, given Johnson outpaced veteran Breshad Perriman by 38 snaps Sunday, it's possible the former garners a starting opportunity alongside Mike Evans for at least the regular-season finale against the Panthers.

Chris Godwin - Has surgery Monday Godwin underwent surgery Monday to repair the ACL and MCL in his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Dr. James Andrews performed the procedure, which didn't reveal any damage to Godwin's meniscus. While Godwin will be in recovery mode when free agency opens up in mid-March, he's expected to be among the top options available at the position if the Buccaneers don't use the franchise tag on him again or otherwise can't come to terms on a new contract. Prior to injuring his knee Week 15, he had set career highs with 98 catches and 127 targets en route to 1,103 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games.
