Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Remains busy in Week 9
McCollum posted seven tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
McCollum played on a season-high 85 snaps (100 percent) and recorded a higher tackle total than the prior game for the third consecutive contest. The 2022 fifth-round pick already has a career-high 10 pass defensed, including the first two interceptions of his career, across nine games, and with 45 tackles in that same span, he's comfortably on pace to exceed the previous high of 68 stops he recorded across 17 regular-season games in 2023.

Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Stellar in return to action
Smith furnished nine tackles (eight solo), one pass defensed and a forced fumble in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
The impressive rookie came back from a Week 8 absence due to a concussion and logged a robust 72 snaps (85 percent) while also finishing tied for third in stops on the Buccaneers. Smith's tackle total was good for the second highest of his career, and he also jarred the ball loose from Travis Kelce in Tampa Bay territory late in the first half, which led to a fumble recovery by Josh Hayes. Smith now has an impressive 42 tackles (30 solo), an interception, four additional defensed passes and three total forced fumbles over eight games, keeping him firmly on the IDP radar heading into a Week 10 matchup against the 49ers.

Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Limited to open week
Vea (hip) was a limited participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.
Vea recorded a season-high 10 total tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Monday's 30-24 loss to Kansas City. The defensive lineman appears to have picked up a hip injury in the contest and he'll look to raise his participation level at the team's final two practices of the week before Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: Unavailable for practice Wednesday
Whitehead (quadriceps) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.
Whitehead compiled nine total tackles (five solo) in Monday's 30-24 loss to Kansas City, but he may have left the contest a little worse for wear. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice this week and move past the quadriceps issue ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Dealing with pair of health concerns
Shepard was held out of Wednesday's practice due to hamstring and hip injuries.
The Buccaneers' receiving corps is extremely banged-up at the moment, with Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined for at least one more game and both Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) logging DNPs to begin Week 10 prep. How the pair fares as the week continues may determine if Shepard is able to maintain his recent trend of five targets in both of the past two contests.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Doesn't practice Wednesday
McMillan (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
A Week 8 matchup with the Falcons marked Mike Evans' first of a multi-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, and McMillan responded with four catches (on seven targets) for 35 yards. McMillan then tweaked his hamstring at practice last Friday and wasn't able to suit up Monday at Kansas City. With an absence to kick off Week 10 prep, he may not be in a great position to return to action Sunday against the 49ers.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Begins week as limited
Irving (toe) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Last Thursday, coach Todd Bowles revealed that Irving was dealing with a toe injury that may linger for the rest of the season, but he was able to suit up Monday in Kansas City and turn his 10 touches into 34 yards from scrimmage.. Meanwhile, backfield mate Rachaad White had six touchees for 35 total yards and one rushing TD, and Sean Tucker notched four touches for 17 yards. A similar breakdown for the trio likely will be the weekly reality as long as Irving continues to be able to play on game day.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Tending to toe issue
Mayfield didn't practice Wednesday due to a toe injury.
Mayfield was able to force overtime Monday at Kansas City but then never got a chance to move the ball in the extra period in an eventual 30-24 loss. Overall, he completed 23 of 31 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions without the services of his top three wide receivers. Mayfield himself is tending to a health concern now, so his status will be monitored as the week continues to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the 49ers.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Notches first career TD
Miller played 34 of the Buccaneers' 55 snaps on offense and finished with one catch for a one-yard reception on three targets in Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Miller finished second among Tampa Bay receivers in snap share, though he benefited from Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring) both being inactive for the contest. Evans will remain out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, but McMillan's potential return could result in a downturn in playing time for Miller, whose short-yardage score salvaged an otherwise uninspiring receiving line in Monday's win. Through three appearances this season, Miller has played 94 total snaps but has produced just five receptions for 59 yards on nine targets.

Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Working out off to side Wednesday
Evans (hamstring) was spotted working out off to the side with a trainer during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The Buccaneers are still planning on holding Evans out for a third straight game this Sunday against the 49ers, but his presence at practice -- albeit without any involvement in drills -- bodes well for his chances of being ready to return to the lineup following the team's Week 11 bye. While playing the last two games without Evans and Chris Godwin (ankle), quarterback Baker Mayfield has relied more heavily on tight end Cade Otton (21 targets) and has spread the ball around among the Buccaneers' available wideouts.
