The Bucs are expected to have a statement later today regarding receiver/kick returner Jaydon Mickens amid a report of his arrest last week in Los Angeles.

His next court date is slated for July 8 in Los Angeles.

Mickens, 26, appeared in 10 games during a turbulent 2020 regular season. He spent time on the reserve/COVID-19 list and was waived in early December, but was signed to the practice squad days later..

He was activated for the regular-season finale against the Falcons, and appeared in all four playoff contests, including Super Bowl 55. When active, he was the team’s primary kick returner, averaging 24.3 yards on 14 attempts in the regular season.

As a receiver, he was pivotal in a Monday night win against the Giants, catching five passes for 36 yards on eight targets when Chris Godwin was sidelined.
