McCollum tallied six tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. McCollum played in all 46 defensive snap Sunday and led the Buccaneers in combined and solo tackles. The 2022 fifth-round pick has played every single defensive snap in four of the Bucs' six games since the Week 11 bye, and he's up to 76 tackles (51 solo), 13 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one fumble recovery through 16 regular-season games. McCollum and the Bucs will look to clinch the NFC South division against the Saints next Sunday.
McCollum recorded six tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-13 win versus the Raiders. McCollum was on the field for virtually every one of Tampa Bay's defensive snaps in a game where Las Vegas attempted 37 passes, so he saw more than a few chances to make tackles in the open field. The Buccaneers probably won't be defending the pass quite as much in Week 15 against the Chargers.
McCollum recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-7 win against the Giants. McCollum played all 56 of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps in Week 12, and he managed seven tackles for the second time in his last three outings. He figures to see a lot of rookie first-rounder Xavier Legette and veteran David Moore in Week 13 at Carolina.
McCollum (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. McCollum injured his hamstring in the Bucs' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. He took advantage of the additional rest courtesy of the Week 11 bye, and he was able to practice in full Friday after opening the week with consecutive DNPs. McCollum and Jamel Dean (hamstring) will serve as the Bucs' starting corners Sunday against the Giants' new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito.
McCollum (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. McCollum opened the Buccaneers' week of practice with back-to-back DNPs after aggravating his hamstring injury in Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to the 49ers. However, he upgraded to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's trending toward playing in Week 12. If the Sam Houston State is sidelined Sunday, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work with Buccaneers' first-team defense.
McCollum (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report. 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.
McCollum tweaked his hamstring in Sunday's Week 10 loss to San Francisco, but the injury isn't expected to be serious, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. McCollum was deemed questionable to return with under five minutes remaining in the contest and was downgraded to doubtful with under a minute left. While he ultimately wasn't able to return to the game, the hamstring injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern, per Laine's report. Tampa Bay is off next week, so McCollum will have extra time to recover ahead of the team's next contest, which will take place Sunday, Nov. 24 against the Giants.
McCollum (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. With Sunday's game winding down, it's unclear whether McCollum will return even if he's healthy. Keenan Isaac and Tyrek Funderburk are in line for increased snaps at corner for as long as McCollum is sidelined.
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.
