What happened

Todd Bowles confirmed that Jalen McMillan (along with Emeka Egbuka and cornerback Jacob Parrish) sat out the Aug. 3 practice with lower-body soreness. The coach emphasized the absences are not serious and the players are expected to be fine.

Fantasy impact

McMillan remains a depth or late-round option in deeper leagues. A one-day rest for soreness early in camp is routine and does not threaten his role behind the team's primary receivers. Monitor subsequent practice reports, but no major ranking adjustment is warranted at this stage.
