Jase McClellan: Everything you need to know

The Buccaneers waived McClellan on Sunday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. McClellan signed with Tampa Bay in mid-August and gained one yard on his only carry during Friday's preseason loss to Buffalo. The Alabama product was a sixth-round selection by Atlanta in the 2024 NFL Draft and played in two contests with the Falcons last season, gaining 32 yards on 13 carries, before ending the year on IR due to a knee injury.

The Buccaneers signed McClellan to a contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 2024 sixth-rounder played in just two regular-season games with the Falcons during his rookie campaign and ended the year on injured reserve due to a knee injury. McClellan was waived by Atlanta in June, but he will get an opportunity to make an NFL roster with the Buccaneers. He'll have a shot at seeing some backup reps out of the backfield due to Rachaad White (groin) being sidelined.

The Falcons waived McClellan (knee) on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. McClellan managed just two regular-season appearances a rookie in 2024, in which span he rushed 13 times for 32 yards. While the 2024 sixth-round pick appears recovered from the knee injury that forced him to finish his rookie campaign on IR, he'll now have to search elsewhere for a chance to compete for a depth role. Jashaun Corbin takes McClellan's spot on the Falcons roster.
