The Bucs have announced they have placed third-year wide receiver Scotty Miller on the short term injured reserve list. Miller suffered what was called a severe turf toe injury in the loss against the Los Angeles Rams.

Under short term injured reserve rules, he will be out at least the next three weeks. The Bucs are hopeful that wide receiver Antonio Brown can come off the COVID-19 list this week and play on Sunday in New England.

Miller has seen his role decrease over the first three weeks of the season as Tyler Johnson has seen a larger share of snaps. Miller brings top end speed to the offense which will be missed during the duration he is sidelined. He will be able to return to practice after his three week stint on IR, and could return in time for the Bucs home tilt against the Chicago Bears.

The Bucs also announced they have activated outside linebacker Cam Gill and guard John Molchon off injured reserve. Gill missed most of training camp with injury and was seen wearing a boot at one point. Molchon missed a majority of training camp after playing in the teams first preseason game at center. They will be able to return to practice immediately and have 21 days to be activated to the 53-man roster or placed on season long IR.
