He has suited up in five games for Jacksonville since being claimed off Tampa Bay's practice squad, totaling 10 yards on two catches while working as the return man on kickoffs and punts.

Buccaneers' Jaydon Mickens: Limited to returns
Mickens did not log a target in three snaps from scrimmage and returned three punts for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

Mickens was unable to practice at all leading up to the Buccaneers' Week 3 matchup against the Rams, so his presence on the field in any capacity is a step forward. If he's able to suit up in Week 4 against New England, Mickens should return to his role as both the primary punt- and kick-returner for Tampa Bay.
