His status changed to full participant and even though he's listed as questionable for the divisional matchup, Bowless confirmed that there should be no issues for him.
McMillan had missed the Buccaneers' last two games after injuring his hamstring during the practice session on Sept. 27. The rookie showed some glimpses of his quality in his first games and is now ready to make more noise in his return to the lineup. He's recorded three receptions for 59 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown this season.
Jalen McMillan's fantasy outlook for fantasy football Week 6
Jalen McMillan possesses good speed, has great body control and his route-running is remarkable, but having two stars like Mike Evans and Chris Goodwin before him on the pecking order is affecting his touches.
His outlook for Week 6 isn't that promising. McMillan is projected to get 1.4 receptions, 16.7 receiving yards and 2.3 fantasy points, which won't do much for his managers.
The Bucs are coming off an overtime loss at the hands of Kirk Cousins, Drake London and the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and now will like to get back to winning ways against a struggling Saints that will have Spencer Rattle starting over Derek Carr.
Baker Mayfield should work his magic again and if he can connect with McMillan, the rookie could be in for a terrific performance in his return game.
