Bucs rookie receiver Rakim Jarrett, who has missed the last four games while on injured reserve, will open his 21-day window and return to practice this week.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be getting some wide receiver depth back in the fold sooner rather than later.
FOX Sports’ Greg Auman announced that wideout Rakim Jarrett is opening the 21-day window to return to the team following an injury to his quadriceps against the San Francisco 49ers. As such, Jarrett has 20 days to be activated off injured reserve and to the active roster — if he isn’t (though that would be highly unlikely), he will not be allowed to return to the team this season.
Jarrett has played both special teams and on the offense during his rookie year in Tampa Bay, where he has acquired 60 yards on four receptions. Most of those yards came from one play, where he caught a 41-yard pass from Baker Mayfield against the 49ers.
His presence has been filled in for by WR David Moore, who was signed to the active roster and caught a touchdown pass against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15.
