Darden hauled in his only target for no gain, returned two kickoffs for 48 yards and ran back one punt for four yards in the Buccaneers' 34-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Darden was active for the first time in his NFL career with Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) sidelined, and as expected, the majority of his touches came while filling the latter's returner roles. Darden logged only three snaps from scrimmage overall, but if he's active again Week 4 against the Patriots, he may have a chance for at least a slight bump in opportunity with Scotty Miller (toe) projected to be unavailable.
