Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Six tackles, INT in Week 2 win
McCollum recorded six tackles (all solo) and four defensed passes, including an interception, in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.
McCollum had played just 11 snaps in Week 1 before suffering a concussion, but then he was able to get back to full practices Thursday and Friday, and clear protocol. That thrust the third-year pro back into his starting right cornerback role, and he played on all 85 snaps while tying for the fifth-highest tackle total on the Bucs and consistently getting his hands on Jared Goff's passes. McCollum will look to snag his second pick of the season against the erratic Bo Nix when the Broncos come calling in Week 3.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Clears concussion protocols
McCollum has cleared the league's concussion protocols and will be able to suit up Sunday against the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
McCollum was a full participant in practice both Thursday and Friday, and after successfully navigating through the league's concussion protocols, he is good to go for Sunday's contest. The 2022 fifth-round pick will start at corner opposite Jamel Dean.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Questionable for Sunday
McCollum (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
The third-year cornerback was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday after logging a limited session Wednesday, but he likely still needs to pass concussion protocol with a neurological test, as he's been listed as questionable on the Buccaneers' injury report. If McCollum is not cleared from his concussion by Sunday's contest, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work in Tampa Bay's depleted secondary.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Upgraded to full participant
McCollum (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.
McCollum was forced to leave in the second quarter of the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Commanders after sustaining a concussion. He's increased his practice participation this week, but the 2022 fifth-round pick is still working through the league's concussion protocols. McCollum's participation in Friday's practice will give a better indication on whether he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's game in Detroit.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Making progress
McCollum (concussion) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
McCollum exited Sunday's win over the Buccaneers with a concussion, putting him into the league's five-step concussion protocols. His ability to be on the field Wednesday shows he's making progress in his recovery, but the limited participation suggests he's not fully through the league's protocols and should be considered questionable for Week 2 against the Lions.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Won't return Sunday
McCollum (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McCollum entered concussion protocols in the second quarter of Sunday's game. The evaluation confirmed that the 2022 fifth-round pick sustained a concussion, and he will not be able to return, finishing the contest with one tackle. Bryce Hall will step into the starting corner role for the rest of the game opposite Jamel Dean.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Enters concussion protocols
McCollum (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Washington, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McCollum sustained the head injury early in the second quarter, and he registered one tackle before exiting the contest. He will have to pass the league's concussion protocols in order to return to Sunday's game. While McCollum is sidelined, Bryce Hall and Josh Hayes are candidates to see extended playing time at corner opposite starter Jamel Dean.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Strong second season
McCollum recorded 68 tackles (49 solo), nine passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games in 2023. He added nine tackles (eight solo) in two postseason contests.
McCollum, a 2022 fifth-round pick, saw a major boost across the board in his second season, including a near 500-snap increase in plays from scrimmage (268 to 748). The Sam Houston State product filled a rotational role at cornerback, but he had plenty of opportunities to run with the first-team defense with both Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean missing time with various injuries. Davis is slated for a $20 million-plus cap hit in 2024, so there may be a scenario where McCollum can slot into a starting cornerback role on a full-time basis next season.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Solid outing in loss
McCollum logged seven total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Saints.
The second-year cornerback out of Sam Houston State filled in for the injured Carlton Davis (concussion) in Week 17 and he finished tied for the Buccaneers' second-leading tackler. McCollum has now started nine of the 16 games he's appeared in this year, recording 65 total tackles, nine pass deflections and two forced fumbles. Even if Davis returns to the field in Week 18, McCollum will likely see lots of work in Tampa Bay's secondary going forward.

Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Big impact in narrow win
McCollum recorded nine tackles (six solo), two passes defensed and one forced fumble during Sunday's 29-25 win over the Falcons.
McCollum again played 100 percent of defensive snaps with Jamel Dean (ankle) out for a third straight game. While it's possible Dean could retake the field Week 15 versus the Packers, Carlton Davis (groin) was forced out Sunday against Atlanta, meaning the Buccaneers could again be a man down at cornerback. That leaves multiple possible paths for McCollum to continue handling more than a depth role.
