Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Back to reduced role Sunday
Ryan Miller brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.Miller saw a precipitous drop in playing time with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan returning to action from their respective hamstring injuries. The Furman product went from a season-high 50 snaps in Week 10 against the 49ers to a season-low 15 (23 percent) on Sunday, but it appears the Buccaneers may continue to keep six wide receivers active on occasion down the stretch as they did against the Giants. In such an instance, Miller, who's now posted at least one catch in five straight games, would figure to continue garnering active status and working as a No. 5 or No. 6 receiver.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: One catch in Week 10 loss
Ryan Miller secured one of three targets for 11 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.Miller once again was active with Mike Evans (hamstring) still out and Jalen McMillan available but not playing any snaps. Miller logged a robust 52 snaps (85 percent), but as his final line substantiates, he couldn't make much of an impact. The Furman product now has at least one reception in four consecutive games, but with both Evans and McMillan thought to have a good chance of suiting up following the Week 11 bye, Miller's days on the active roster may be numbered.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Notches first career TD
Ryan Miller played 34 of the Tampa Bay 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' Ryan Miller: Three receptions in reserve role
Ryan Miller brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.The Furman product was in on 30 snaps (41.0 percent), logging the fourth-most plays from scrimmage in the Buccaneers' short-handed receiving corps. Miller has shown well with his limited opportunities across his two regular-season appearances this season, and the fact Mike Evans (hamstring) will remain out through the Week 11 bye and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) is out for the rest of the regular season should continue affording the second-year wideout opportunity to remain on the 53- man roster.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Moves to active roster
Ryan Miller was signed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.Miller suited up Week 6 against the Saints and will now likely see more opportunities in the weeks ahead.

Ryan Miller: Lands back on practice squad
Ryan Miller reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.Miller was elevated off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 6 win over New Orleans and logged 32 of the the team's 77 offensive snaps in the contest. The wideout caught his only target for a 39-yard gain on a drive that ended with a Tampa Bay touchdown. Miller's elevation was his first of the campaign, so he can be elevated twice more before the Buccaneers would need to sign him to the 53-man roster in order for him to suit up.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Leads pass catchers in opener
Ryan Miller secured three of five targets for 42 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday night.The second-year pro set the pace for the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets. Miller was on the practice squad in 2023 but did log two snaps from scrimmage and 12 special-teams snaps in one regular-season game, and his current push to land a deep reserve receiver spot certainly got off to a strong start with Saturday's performance. However, Miller will have to continue standing out to have any chance of that occurring, considering he has formidable competition in the form of Rakim Jarrett, among others.
