THE Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been hit with a huge injury blow on the eve of the season.
The wide receiver was left in a neck brace and faces a lengthy layoff.

He landed awkwardly while jumping to make a catch in a preseason game last week.
McMillan came down on the back of his neck and head after a collision with Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Daryl Porter Jr.
Medical staff treated the receiver on the field and he was able to walk off.
The 23-year-old was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
He was then cleared to fly home in a neck brace.
The Buccaneers will place McMillan on injured reserve, which will rule him out for at least four games.
ESPN reported that he will likely be out until after the Week 9 bye.
McMillan was a third round NFL Draft pick by the Bucs last year.
He played 13 games last season, recording 461 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
Seven of his touchdown catches were in the final five weeks of the 2024 regular-season.
His injury “shouldn’t be” career threatening, Bowles added.
The Buccaneers are already dealing with injury problems at wide receiver.
Chris Godwin is currently on the physically unable to perform list.
He is currently working his way back from having ankle surgery.
