Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: One catch in Week 10 loss
Rotowire
Miller secured one of three targets for 11 yards in the 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
Rotowire
Miller played 34 of the 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
Rotowire
Miller brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the 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 up to active roster
Rotowire
The Buccaneers elevated Miller from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Miller is getting his first elevation of the campaign due to fellow wideouts Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Jalen McMillan is also questionable for the contest due to a hamstring issue. Miller played in one contest with Tampa Bay last year, logging two offensive snaps without any targets and 12 special-teams snaps versus Carolina in Week 13.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Leads pass catchers in opener
Rotowire
Miller secured three of five targets for 42 yards in the 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.

Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Elevated ahead of Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Tampa Bay elevated Miller to its active roster Saturday.
The 23-year-old wideout was elevated to the Buccaneers' active roster alongside David Moore on Saturday, making it seem as if the team could be preparing to be without Chris Godwin (neck) in Sunday's affair with the Panthers. Miller has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he has been with Tampa Bay's practice squad since late August.
