Zyon McCollum: Everything you need to know

McCollum (hip) is participating in OTAs. The cornerback was placed on IR in December of last season after suffering a hip injury. Now that he's back, he should be able to resume his role as a starter. McCollum started all 30 regular-season games he was available for over the last two campaigns.

McCollum (hip) was placed on the injured reserve list Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. The fourth-year pro sustained a hip injury in the Week 15 loss to the Falcons, and it now appears serious enough for him to land on IR. McCollum will be forced to miss the Buccaneers' next four games at a minimum, meaning his 2025 regular season has come to an end. Across 13 appearances this year, the 26-year-old tallied 65 total tackles and six passes defensed, including one interception. While he's sidelined, expect Benjamin Morrison to have an expanded role in Tampa Bay's secondary.

McCollum (hip) won't return to Thursday's Week 15 game against Atlanta. McCollum suffered a hip injury midway through the second quarter and was ruled out shortly after halftime. He didn't record any defensive stats before his departure. Kindle Vildor has stepped in at cornerback in McCollum's place.
