Designated for return to practice
The Buccaneers announced Thursday that Jarrett (knee) has had his 21-day practice window opened, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Head coach Todd Bowles said Jarrett underwent knee surgery during the offseason, but that he was operating at full speed in his return to practice Thursday, per Smith. The depth wideout can be added to the 53-man roster at any point in the next three weeks, so he could be a candidate to retake the field as soon as Monday's game against the Ravens.

Will miss first four games
Tampa Bay placed Jarrett (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list with a designation to return Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: The transaction means Jarrett will have to sit out for at least the first four games of the season but will be eligible to return come Week 5. Whether there's space for him on the 53-man roster at that point may depend on the health of the Buccaneers' other wide receivers.

Expected to land on IR
Coach Todd Bowles acknowledged this weekend that Jarrett (undisclosed) is likely to begin the coming campaign on IR, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: With roster cutdowns looming, it looks like Jarrett's unspecified injury will cost him time out of the gate this season. In his anticipated absence, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer are projected to lead the Bucs' WR corps heading into Week 1.

Unlikely to be ready by Week 1
Jarrett's undisclosed injury is expected to extend into the regular season, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Specifics about the injury haven't been made clear, but it appears that the issue is serious enough to put Jarrett's status for the season opener in doubt. The second-year wideout has been slated for a depth role in Tampa Bay's wide receiver room. He got into 10 contests as an undrafted rookie last year, catching four of nine targets for 60 yards over 106 offensive snaps.

Nursing unspecified injury
Jarrett did not practice Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The second-year wideout was able to log 31 snaps in a preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night, but head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Jarrett was a non-participant in the first practice following that contest. Bowles added that Jarrett was "nursing an injury" without offering any more specifics, and it remains to be seen if the receiver will be able to participate in the first day of joint practices with the Jaguars on Wednesday.

Pair of catches in preseason win
Jarrett secured both targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night.
Analysis: Jarrett was second on the Bucs in receiving yards on the night, slotting in just seven yards behind one of his primary competitors for a deep reserve receiver spot in Ryan Miller. Jarrett has the advantage of having appeared in 10 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023, but with Miller having recorded a team-high 42 receiving yards Saturday, Jarrett appears to have formidable competition on his hands.

Inactive Monday
Jarrett (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's wild-card game against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: The depth wide receiver missed the last seven games of the regular season with a quadriceps injury, but he did not appear on Tampa Bay's injury report Thursday. In the 10 games he did play in 2023, Jarrett saw 106 offensive snaps and caught four passes for 60 yards and no touchdowns.

Appears ready to play Monday
Jarrett (quadriceps) was not listed on Tampa Bay's injury report Thursday.
Analysis: Jarrett has sat out of the Buccaneers' last seven games due to a quadriceps injury, but he finally seems to be in line to return for wild-card week. Barring a setback Friday or Saturday, he should step back into a rotational role at wideout Monday.

Not playing Sunday
Jarrett (quadriceps) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.
Analysis: Jarrett was activated from IR on Friday, but the rookie receiver will ultimately not play in the team's regular-season finale against Carolina. His status comes as a bit of a surprise, considering he was added to the 53-man roster and logged a full week of practices.

Activated from IR for Week 18
Jarrett (quadriceps) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: The rookie wide receiver is still officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but the Buccaneers presumably wouldn't have added him back to the 53-man roster Friday if he wasn't on track to play this weekend. Jarrett was a full participant in practice during the week and looks to have moved past the quad injury that has kept him out of action since Week 11. Jarrett has served as a depth wideout for Tampa Bay when healthy, recording just four catches for 60 yards on…read more

Gets questionable designation
Jarrett (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina.
Analysis: Jarrett was a full participant at practice all week, so it will be somewhat surprising if the Buccaneers do not activate him from their injured reserve list prior to 4 p.m. ET Saturday so that he can play in Week 18. If he sits out, though, it could mean more snaps for David Moore on Sunday.

Won't return in Week 17
Jarrett (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Jarrett has missed the Buccaneers' last five games with this quadriceps issue, and even after a full week of practice, he's in line to miss his sixth consecutive outing Sunday. The 22-year-old wide receiver out of Maryland will need to be activated to Tampa Bay's active roster in order to suit up, and he'll look to return in Week 18.

Logs another full practice session
Jarrett (quadriceps) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: This was the second straight full session to begin Week 17 prep for Jarrett, who was designated to return from injured reserve last Wednesday. The wide receiver also logged a trio of full practices last week but was ultimately held out of Sunday's win over Jacksonville, so his seeming return to full health doesn't necessarily mean he'll be activated ahead of this Sunday's clash against New Orleans. If Jarrett does suit up against the Saints, he'll likely be relegated to a minor role on offense,…read more

Held out for Week 16
Jarrett (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Jarrett was a full participant in all three practices this week, but the Bucs will take the cautious approach and keep him out for the fifth straight week. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he should be able to return for Week 17 against the Saints.

Looks ready to play again
Jarrett (quadriceps) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Jarrett remains on injured reserve, but after having his 21-day evaluation window opened up Wednesday and returning to practice as a full participant, he could have a chance at playing Sunday against the Jaguars. The Buccaneers will likely see how Jarrett checks out during practices Thursday and Friday before deciding whether to activate him ahead of Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for Week 16 roster moves.

Practice window opens
Tampa Bay designated Jarrett (quadricep) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Jarrett will now be able to begin practicing with the team and has a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, if the Buccaneers feel like he's ready to contribute. Before landing on IR on Nov. 22, the rookie wideout had a relatively small role, seeing nine targets in his first 10 games and making four receptions for 60 yards.

The Buccaneers designated Jarrett (quadriceps) to return from injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Jarrett had been out since suffering a quadriceps injury back in November but is now closer to making his return. The rookie undrafted free agent is now eligible to return to practice, and the team will have 21 days to officially activate him off injured reserve.

The Buccaneers placed Jarrett (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Splash play on one catch
Jarrett brought in one of two targets for a 41-yard reception in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Jarrett struck down the seam on the first play of the fourth quarter for the longest gain of his brief career. The speedy rookie came into the game with just three receptions for 19 yards on seven targets, and although he's garnered active status in every game this season, he remains far down the pecking order in the pass-catching corps.

Three targets in Week 8 loss
Jarrett secured one of three targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 24-18 loss to the Bills on Thursday.
Analysis: The rookie's target tally was a new high-water mark for him over the first seven games of the season and marked his second straight contest drawing multiple looks in the passing game. Jarrett's snap count actually fell from a tally of 17 in Week 7 to 10 on Thursday, but he was still able to draw plenty of Baker Mayfield's attention during the latter game. Jarrett could be ascending into a timeshare at the No. 4 receiver spot with Deven Thompkins for all practical purposes, although that's still…read more

One catch in Week 4 win
Jarrett brought in his only target for three yards in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Jarrett's 13 snaps from scrimmage represented his second-highest allotment of the first four games of his career, with Mike Evans' early exit due to a hamstring injury playing a part in the uptick in opportunity. Jarrett remains firmly in the No. 5 receiver role when the position is at full health, but if Evans is unable to recover sufficiently during the Week 5 bye to return for a Week 6 matchup against the Lions, Jarrett would bump up a notch in the pecking order for that contest.

Nabs first NFL reception
Jarrett hauled in his lone target for a seven-yard reception in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Bears.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Maryland remains buried on the Buccaneers' depth chart at receiver, but he at least saw a slight uptick in playing time from Week 1 to Week 2. After logging six snaps on offense in the season-opening win over the Vikings, Jarrett bumped up to 16 snaps Sunday.

Another impressive showing
Jarrett brought in four of five targets for 48 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
Analysis: Jarrett tied with Chris Godwin for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards and snaps (32) among the team's wideouts. The rock-solid effort was certainly timely from Jarrett's perspective and comes on the heels of a 3-84-0 line in the second preseason game against the Jets. Jarrett was also able to consistently impress during training camp practices, so he presumably remains very much in play for a No. 6 receiver role ahead of final roster cuts Tuesday.

Leads pass catchers in win
Jarrett secured all three targets for 84 yards in the Buccaneers' 13-6 preseason win over the Jets on Saturday night. He also rushed once for minus-3 yards.
Analysis: Jarrett had been turning heads frequently in training camp, and his 33 snaps were second only to David Moore among Buccaneers receivers. The Maryland product also recorded a game-long, 36-yard grab, making quite the case in his ongoing bid for a reserve receiver role. His chances of snagging a spot have likely been at least slightly boosted by Russell Gage's season-ending knee injury, and Jarrett should have another extended opportunity to convince the coaching staff in Saturday night's home…read more

Making strong early impression
Jarrett, a rookie undrafted free agent out of Maryland, is making a strong early impression in training camp with his athletic ability, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. "He is making a ton of plays," said quarterback Baker Mayfield. "In one-on-one situations, he has a really good ability to high-point the ball. He has good body control when he is in the air. I am truly impressed with how he has been so far throughout the offseason and early in camp."
Analysis: One of Jarrett's highlight-reel moments came in Thursday's practice, when he made a leaping contested catch down the left sideline against fellow rookie Keenan Isaac. Jarrett saw a knee injury cut short his senior 2022 campaign with the Terrapins and potentially cost him a chance at being drafted; nevertheless, the talented wideout has already also caught the eye of head coach Todd Bowles, who noted Jarrett just needs to make sure he's as impressive in his knowledge of the playbook as he is…read more
