McMillan (knee) appeared to be a full participant in the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Tampa Bay will release its first injury report of the season following Wednesday's session, when it will be known whether McMillan was in fact a full participant or limited in some capacity. Even a limited listing would still put McMillan in a strong position to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Bengals, after a sore knee as well as a left calf injury kept him off the field for much of training camp. McMillan projects to begin the season as Tampa Bay's No. 3 receiver behind Emeka Egbuka (toe) and Chris Godwin.

Egbuka (toe) was on the field for the start of Wednesday's practice and appeared to be a full participant, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Tampa Bay will post its first injury report of the season after Wednesday's session concludes, and if Egbuka is in fact listed as a full participant, he would be in the clear to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Bengals. For much of training camp, Egbuka was a spectator or limited participant while he tended to a sprained toe, but he appears to have made positive strides in his recovery over the past week. Tampa Bay looks set to have all of its key pass catchers available for Week 1, as Jalen McMillan (knee) also looked to be practicing fully Wednesday.

Tucker (undisclosed) wasn't spotted on the field for the start of Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The nature of the injury that has kept Tucker from practicing for the past week won't be known until the Buccaneers post their first injury report of 2026 following Wednesday's session. Earlier in the week, head coach Todd Bowles described Tucker as a likely game-time decision heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Bengals. The reserve running back will likely need to practice in at least a limited fashion by Friday to avoid being ruled out heading into the weekend.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday that Allen (soft-tissue injury) is trending toward a game-time decision for Sunday's season opener versus the Browns, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

The soft-tissue injury kept Allen out for the final two weeks of training camp, and the running back apparently still isn't 100 percent healthy heading into Week 1 prep. Allen's practice activity Wednesday through Friday will likely determine whether he suits up Sunday, but if he's ultimately unable to play against the Browns, the Jaguars could turn to Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah to handle more reps out of the backfield on passing downs.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Kittle (Achilles) could have his workload monitored against the Rams on Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

"We got to be smart with that," Shanahan said. With Kittle having been listed as a limited participant Tuesday after returning from the active/PUP list a little over two weeks ago, Shanahan's comments suggest San Francisco is preparing to manage the tight end's Week 1 snaps. Kittle figures to be featured on third downs and in the scoring area if his playing time is limited, and Jake Tonges could see elevated snaps as the Niners' TE2.

Lowe (ankle) did not appear on the 49ers' injury report Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Lowe suffered a high ankle sprain at practice in late July but he appears to have made a full recovery. The 27-year-old is slated to serve as a top reserve option behind Trent Williams and Colton McKivitz at offensive tackle in 2026.

Puni (concussion) was not listed on the 49ers' injury report Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Puni suffered a concussion during the preseason but he now appears to have made a full recovery. The 26-year-old is slated to operate as the team's starting right guard in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Rams.

White (groin) was not listed on the 49ers' injury report Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

White suffered a groin injury early at practice prior to the beginning of the preseason, but he now appears to be healthy ahead of Week 1. The 27-year-old is set to step into a starting role as a member of San Francisco's front seven in 2026.

Jackson (rest) did not participate at the Rams' practice Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson has been dealing with an illness recently, and the team opted to give him the day off Tuesday. The 28-year-old appears to be on track to operate as the team's starting left tackle Thursday night against San Francisco.

Dolac (knee) did not appear on the Rams' injury report Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Dolac ended the 2025 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a PCL injury in his knee against the Cardinals in the regular-season finale. The 24-year-old appears to be set to operate as a top reserve option behind Nate Landman and Omar Speights at inside linebacker to open the regular season Thursday night against the 49ers.
