The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the NFL. And that's a good thing, because it's starting to thin out. Chris Godwin is already expected to start the season on the PUP list while continuing to recover from a gruesome ankle injury last year against the Ravens.

Sterling Shepard has quickly found himself in a meaningful spot in terms of being in the Bucs new offense under Josh Grizzard.

After Bowles' announcement, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that McMillan could be sidelined beyond the team's Week 9 bye.
