Solid numbers in season-ending loss
Evans brought in six of 11 targets for 74 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Evans finished third in receptions and tied for second in receiving yards and targets on the night for the Buccaneers, a solid finish to an up-and-down season. He finished the regular campaign with 77 receptions for 1,124 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games, with half of his scores coming in a Week 17 win over the Panthers that locked up an NFC South title for the Bucs. While Evans, who'll be 30 when next season begins, has a cap hit of just under $24 million for 2023, he'd also carry a…read more

Practices in full Thursday
Evans (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: After hauling in 10 of 12 targets for 207 yards and three touchdowns to help the Buccaneers clinch the NFC South with a win against the Panthers in Week 17, Evans didn't log a snap before being ruled out due to an illness this past Sunday in Atlanta. With the benefit of three days to rest and recover, though, he managed to log every rep during Tampa Bay's first practice in advance of Monday's wild-card game against the Cowboys. As a result, Evans will join forces with Chris Godwin as the top…read more

Won't return to Sunday's game
Evans won't return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to an illness.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Evans didn't catch a pass. The wideout will thus target a return to action next weekend, when the Buccaneers open their playoff slate.

Three-touchdown tally in key win
Evans brought in 10 of 12 targets for 207 yards and three touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans seemingly took out a season's worth of frustration in one afternoon on an undermanned Panthers secondary, finding pay dirt down the right sideline from 63, 57 and 30 yards out. The latter two scores came in the fourth quarter and allowed the Buccaneers to overcome an 11-point deficit, and both the reception and receiving yardage totals served as season highs. Evans' touchdowns were also his first since Week 4, and he'll now aim to build some additional momentum ahead of the postseason in…read more

Three catches in OT win
Evans brought in three of eight targets for 29 yards in the Buccaneers' 19-16 overtime win over the Cardinals on Sunday night.
Analysis: It was shaping up as another highly inefficient night for the Tom Brady-Evans connection until the duo got cooking at the most critical time of the game. Evans recorded two catches for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' game-winning drive in overtime, helping somewhat salvage an otherwise disappointing night that saw him as the intended target on both of Brady's interceptions. Evans did cross the 900-yard mark for the season with Sunday's production, and he'll aim to eclipse the 1,000-yard threshold…read more

Tied for team lead in yards
Evans had five receptions on 10 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 34-23 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Evans finished tied for the team lead in receiving yards with fellow starter Chris Godwin (8/83/1), but it was the latter who was the recipient of one of Tom Brady's trio of touchdown passes. Evans is on pace for his ninth straight 1,000-yard season with 888 yards through 13 contests, but the shocking lack of touchdowns (three) have held him back in the fantasy rankings this year. Evans will look to get right in a soft matchup against Arizona's porous secondary in Week 16.

Scoring drought continues
Evans caught four of nine targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: He tied Chris Godwin for the team lead in targets, but Evans wasn't able to do much with that volume. Evans has gone five straight games without reaching 60 yards and nine straight without getting into the end zone, a baffling streak for a wideout who has scored double-digit TDs in a season four separate times in his career, including a career-high 14 just last year. Evans will look to end his touchdown drought Week 15 against the Bengals.

Draws critical penalty in win
Evans brought in all four targets for 59 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Analysis: Evans checked in third in receptions and second in receiving yards for the Bucs, and he was outpaced in targets by five teammates. However, the veteran wideout still played a critical role in a miraculous comeback victory, drawing a 44-yard defensive pass interference penalty on Paulson Adebo that took the ball down to the Saints' one-yard line and set up a touchdown grab by Cade Otton on the next play with three minutes remaining. Evans' overall numbers disappointed from a fantasy perspective…read more

Highly inefficient in Week 12 loss
Evans secured two of nine targets for 31 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a nightmare of an afternoon for Evans, who repeatedly failed to connect with Tom Brady despite tying with running back Rachaad White for the second-most targets on the day. Evans saw position mate Chris Godwin (12-110-1) enjoy outstanding chemistry with Brady, and he's now recorded 54 receiving yards or fewer in three consecutive games. Evans next lines up for a matchup with a team that's given him plenty of trouble in the past, the Saints, in a Week 13 Monday night home divisional clash.

Loses volume against Seattle
Evans recorded five receptions on six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Evans appeared to be in line for a relatively strong game, having racked up four catches for 49 yards by halftime. However, he was targeted only twice in the final two quarters to post his second consecutive effort of less than 60 receiving yards and without a score. While at least in part dictated by game script, Tom Brady took to the air only 29 times -- his second-lowest mark of the season -- and if that continues, Evans could continue to lose out on targets moving forward.

Ready to play in Munich
Evans (ribs/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich.
Analysis: Even though Evans' practice reps were limited throughout the week, neither of his injuries were deemed significant enough to prevent him from taking the field in Germany. Evans hasn't found the end zone since Week 4, but he's seen a steady stream of volume in the passing game over the Buccaneers' subsequent five games. During that stretch, he's averaging 5.6 receptions for 76.4 yards on 9.8 targets per contest.

Stays limited Thursday
Evans (ribs/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: Evans maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he deals with a pair of injuries. The Buccaneers will travel to Munich on Thursday evening ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, so Thursday's session may be his last on-field work of Week 10. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal whether Evans goes into the weekend with or without a designation.

Tending to pair of injuries
Evans was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to ribs and ankle injuries.
Analysis: Coming off his low-water mark for the season in receiving yards (40) this past Sunday against the Rams, Evans is being held back in the first session of Week 10 prep due to a pair of health concerns. Considering he was able to mix into drills Wednesday, he's a good bet either to get back to full activity Thursday and/or Friday or avoid a designation entirely ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich.

Struggles against Rams
Evans caught five of 11 targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.
Analysis: For the third straight game and the fourth time this year, Evans saw double-digit targets, but he wound up setting a season low in receiving yards despite the volume. The veteran wideout has also gone five straight weeks without getting into the end zone, his longest drought since 2017, but he'll remain a high-ceiling fantasy option in a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

Cleared to play
Evans (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Neither do Julio Jones or Chris Godwin, while Russell Gage (hamstring) was ruled out for a second straight week. The injuries at wide receiver this year have helped Evans see more volume (8.4 targets per game) than he did the past two years, but his TD scoring has taken a hit with the Tampa offense struggling overall.

As for the rest of the Buccaneers' receiving corps, Julio Jones (knee) followed up a DNP to begin Week 9 prep with all activity Thursday, while Russell Gage (hamstring) has remained sidelined.

Limited in practice Wednesday
Evans (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Evans continues to feel the aftereffects of hurting his ankle Week 7, but despite logging a pair of capped sessions ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Ravens last Thursday, he still earned a typical snap share (94 percent) and hauled in six of 11 targets for 123 yards. His practice limitations this week likely are precautionary, but his status nonetheless will be monitored to ensure he's able to play Sunday against the Rams.

Eclipses century mark in loss
Evans secured six of 11 targets for 123 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Analysis: Evans co-led the Buccaneers in receptions and targets while comfortably setting the pace in receiving yardage during the narrow loss. His game-long 51-yard catch early in the fourth quarter also helped set up a Ryan Succop field goal, and the 100-yard effort was the multi-time Pro Bowler's second of the season overall. Evans also has 26 targets over the last two games alone, so he'll retain plenty of fantasy appeal despite a tough matchup against Jalen Ramsey and the Rams defense in a Week 9…read more

Will be available in Week 8
Evans (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Evans opened Week 8 prep as a non-participant in practice due to the ankle issue before logging back-to-back limited showings, which was enough to clear him for game action. The Buccaneers will be without Russell Gage (hamstring) at wide receiver Thursday, while Julio Jones (knee) will be a game-time call. Regardless, Evans and Chris Godwin will serve as the top options at the position for quarterback Tom Brady.

Analysis: After sitting out Monday's walkthrough, Evans was back on the field in some capacity one day later. He'll have one more opportunity to get back to full activity before Thursday's game against the Ravens. As for the other injured Bucs receivers, Russell Gage (hamstring) remained sidelined Tuesday, while Julio Jones (knee) has followed the same regimen as Evans this week.

Tending to ankle injury
Evans (ankle) was listed as a non-participant following Monday's walkthrough, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Evans was spotted limping about near the end of Sunday's 21-3 loss at Carolina, and the reason appears to be an ankle issue. With a short week on tap as the Buccaneers prepare for Thursday's matchup with the Ravens, the team likely will take a cautious approach with the ninth-year pro to make sure he's as healthy as possible for Week 8 action.

Impressive day goes for naught
Evans secured nine of 15 targets for 96 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans' reception, receiving yardage and target totals led the Buccaneers on the afternoon, but the impressive numbers didn't come close to equating to any true offensive team success. The game may have turned out quite differently had Evans not dropped a perfectly thrown pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter in which he'd broken wide open down the middle of the field for a sure touchdown. Evans' catch count also was a season-best figure, and his yardage tally was the second highest of the…read more

Limited by short-handed secondary
Evans secured all four targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans was a distant second in receiving yardage to Chris Godwin and turned in what can only be termed a disappointing outing overall considering he was facing a Steelers secondary decimated by injury. The veteran star has been now been held to four catches in back-to-back games, and his receiving yardage has dwindled in each of those contests after he produced a season-best 103-yard tally in the Week 4 loss to the Chiefs. Evans will aim to bounce back to his usual level of production when the…read more

Four catches in win
Evans secured four of eight targets for 81 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans paced the Buccaneers' receivers in receiving yardage and checked in second on the team only to Leonard Fournette. The standout wideout tallied a game-high 40-yard grab as well, a play on which he appeared to be momentarily shaken up. Evans has posted his two highest receiving yardage totals of the season in the last two games, affording him plenty of momentum going into a Week 6 road matchup against a Steelers secondary that was eviscerated by Josh Allen and his air attack in Week 5.

Monster game in return
Evans (suspension) had eight receptions on 10 targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-31 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Evans looked rejuvenated after being forced to miss last week's narrow loss to Green Bay due to a one-game suspension. Both he and Chris Godwin (hamstring) were tied for the team lead with 10 targets, but it was Evans who was Tom Brady's preferred downfield and red-zone target. The duo even went for a third touchdown on a goal-line fade late in the contest, but the play was defended well by L'Jarius Sneed.

Analysis: Evans' one-game suspension was upheld following an appeal, so he sat out the team's Week 3 loss to the Packers for his altercation with the Saints' Marshon Lattimore in Week 2. The veteran wideout's return should be a welcome sight for Tom Brady, who struggled against Green Bay without his top three pass catchers. Evans has caught eight of 11 targets for 132 yards and a score through his first two appearances of the season.

The NFL upheld Evans' one-game suspension Wednesday, with the receiver set to serve the ban Sunday against the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Evans was handed the suspension as a result of his Week 2 altercation with the Saints' Marshon Lattimore, and after an unsuccessful appeal, the four-time Pro Bowler will be sidelined for Week 3. The Buccaneers could also be without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) this weekend, prompting the team to sign Cole Beasley to the practice squad to provide depth behind Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and Kaylon Geiger.

Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the decision won't come until Wednesday, meaning you may have to submit free-agent claims without knowing Evans' status for Week 3.

Analysis: An official decision on Evans' appeal should be announced later Tuesday or Wednesday, giving fantasy managers clarity on the wideout's status heading into Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Evans, who had been nursing a calf injury in advance of the Buccaneers' Week 2 win over the Saints, was ejected early in the fourth quarter of the contest when he came off the sideline to push New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

Suspended one game
Evans has been suspended one game as a result of his role in a multi-player brawl for which he was ejected from Sunday's 20-10 win over the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Evans is the only suspension to result from Sunday's events, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, though more fines still could be handed out. Back in 2017, a similar scenario played out that saw Evans receive a one-game suspension due to a conflict with Marshon Lattimore, who also was involved in Sunday's fracas. Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) both sat out Sunday's win due to injuries, so Tampa Bay's receiving corps may be significantly depleted versus Green Bay in Week 3. Evans can…read more

Evans secured three of four targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday. He was ejected from the game with 12:55 remaining for his role in a multi-player brawl, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Evans managed a team-leading receiving yardage tally before his unceremonious exit, showing no apparent ill effects from the calf injury that had limited him during the past week. However, the veteran's ejection, which came after he ran off the sideline to shove the Saints' Marshon Lattimore down while he was scuffling with several of his teammates, could have been costly, as the game was tied 3-3 at the time.

Since he managed only two limited practices this week, Evans' reps could be capped to some extent, though no reports have indicated as much.

The veteran wideout led Tampa Bay with five catches on seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown during its season-opening win over the Cowboys last weekend.

Touchdown grab in Week 1 win
Evans brought in five of seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 19-3 win over the Cowboys on Sunday night.
Analysis: Evans paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night and capped off his solid fantasy effort with an impressive diving, one-handed, five-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. The multi-time Pro Bowler projects for an expansive role once again this season, but he could see even more work than usual in a Week 2 road matchup against the Saints next Sunday if fellow wideout Chris Godwin, who exited in the second quarter with a hamstring issue, can't suit up.

Evans failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.
Analysis: The multi-time Pro Bowler was making his preseason debut alongside Tom Brady, but he couldn't come up with the only pass the latter sent his way during their one possession. Evans does seem to be completely past the hamstring issues that plagued him earlier in the summer, however, and he should play a pivotal role in the Week 1 Sunday night road showdown against the Cowboys on Sept. 11.

Evans (hamstring ) returned to practice Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Though it's unclear if Evans will practice fully, the wideout's return to the field Monday solidifies the notion that he'll be good to go for Week 1 action. It remains to be seen, however, if Evans is a candidate to see snaps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts.

Not playing Saturday
Evans (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Evans and Russell Gage (leg) suffered injuries in training camp, while Chris Godwin is in the late stages of an ACL rehab and Julio Jones is being rested. It's a nice opportunity for Tampa's depth receivers, though none will get much playing time during the regular season if the top four guys can manage to stay relatively healthy.

Not set to practice this week
Coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday that Evans (hamstring) will not practice this week, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Evans and teammate Russell Gage (leg) will both refrain from participating in joint practices with the Titans this week. The Buccaneers' top priority will be to let Evans rest up and get healthy for Week 1, but with Chris Godwin (knee) also working his way back from an ACL injury, it's notable that the team remains without most of its top pass catchers in practice.

Likely not playing Saturday
Evans (hamstring) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This should come as no surprise considering Evans is still dealing with the minor hamstring injury he sustained last week. Most of the team's top pass catchers are not expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest, which could set the stage for Tyler Johnson and Cyril Grayson to see the majority of the first-team reps.

Minor hamstring injury confirmed
Evans (hamstring) is considered day-to-day and should be able to play soon, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: This is a gigantic sigh of relief for fantasy managers and the Bucs as Evans' hamstring injury could have been far more serious. The big-bodied target has a long history with hamstring issues, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the veteran eased back into training camp. Still, it seems all but certain at this point that Evans' regular-season status shouldn't be impacted by this particular injury.

Hamstring injury confirmed
Evans is tending to a hamstring injury that he sustained at Friday's practice, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Analysis: On the same day in which Chris Godwin made his first appearance at practice since suffering a torn ACL back on Dec. 19, Evans made an early exit with a leg issue. It since has been clarified to be to Evans' hamstring, but Schultz reports that it's "minor." Due to his long history of hamstring concerns, there's a good chance the Buccaneers will take the utmost caution with the ninth-year pro and allow him to return to 100 percent before clearing him for on-field work.

Likely dealing with hammy injury
Coach Todd Bowles said Evans may have "tweaked" a hamstring prior to his early departure from Friday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Evans left early on the same day Chris Godwin (ACL) made his first practice appearance since December. For someone who has missed only seven games across eight NFL seasons, Evans has a surprising lengthy history of hamstring injuries, including one in late 2019 that caused him to miss the final three weeks. Apart from that, he's usually recovered from his hamstring troubles in fairly short order, often putting up big numbers even if he's listed on the injury report. He missed Week 16 with a…read more

Exits with likely leg injury
Evans left Friday's practice with an apparent leg injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Evans left early on the same day Chris Godwin (ACL) made his first practice appearance since December. Initial reports don't make it sound overly serious, but this is obviously something to keep an eye on with Evans going in the second or third round of most fantasy drafts. He's been TD-dependent since Tom Brady joined the Bucs, and while there was some thought his volume could skyrocket this year, Evans now has solid target competition with Godwin doing well in his rehab and Julio Jones…read more

Not expecting Gronk return
Evans doesn't expect former teammate Rob Gronkowski to come out of retirement this year, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Evans said he'd like to see a Gronk return but thinks the big man is done for real this time. With the tight end gone and Bucs wideout Chris Godwin rehabbing from a late-season ACL tear, Evans has a good chance to see more targets than what he got in his first two years playing with Tom Brady (109 and 114). Of course, while the Brady era in Tampa has led to the two smallest target totals of Evans' career, it's also produced 13 and 14 touchdowns (or career highs in back-to-back seasons). There's…read more

Spectacular TD in close loss
Evans secured eight of 16 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown during the Buccaneers' 30-27 loss to the Rams in their NFC divisional-round matchup Sunday.
Analysis: With Tom Brady clearly bothered by an aggressive Rams front for most of the afternoon, Evans' efficiency became a victim of some hurried throws and tight coverage for a good chunk of the contest. However, he delivered what would have been remembered as the igniter of one of the most memorable comebacks in NFL postseason history when he cleanly beat Jalen Ramsey in one-on-one coverage down the right side for a 55-yard touchdown grab with 3:20 remaining to bring the Buccaneers within seven.…read more

Eclipses century mark in win
Evans secured nine of 10 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown during the Buccaneers' 31-15 win over the Eagles in an NFC wild-card matchup Sunday.
Analysis: Evans comfortably paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on an afternoon in which Tom Brady unsurprisingly honed in on him more than any other member of the team's depleted pass-catching corps. The highlight of the veteran's day came on an impressive 36-yard touchdown grab in the latter portion of the third quarter immediately following a Tampa Bay interception. Evans' first opportunity to build on a fruitful postseason-opening effort will come next weekend in a…read more

Gets back to full participation
Evans (hamstring) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: With the upgrade from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Evans is good to play through the hamstring injury that he picked up in Week 15 against the Saints. While suiting up the last two games of the regular season, his snap shares of 75 and 72 percent were below his typical 80-plus, but he still managed to gather in 10 of 14 targets for 136 yards and three touchdowns.

Still dealing with hamstring injury
Evans (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Evans picked up the injury in the Bucs' Week 15 loss to the Saints and subsequently was sidelined Week 16 at Carolina. Shortly thereafter, he had a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he was able to clear league protocols in time to play Week 17.

Pair of TDs in finale
Evans brought in six of seven targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Bucs' undisputed top receiver played like it Sunday, hauling in touchdown tosses of three and 20 yards in fourth quarter to help ice the game for Tampa Bay and surpass his own single-season franchise record in that category in the process.

Evans (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Evans' ability to take all reps during Thursday's session seemingly confirms that his limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. After sitting out Week 16 with the hamstring issue and then testing positive for COVID-19, Evans was able to move past the injury and illness to play three quarters of the Buccaneers' snaps on offense in last Sunday's 28-24 win over the Jets.

Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Evans sat out Week 16 due to a hamstring issue, which was followed by a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Fortunately, he was able to clear league protocols last Friday, then practiced on a limited basis to enter the weekend being listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Jets.

Finds end zone in win
Evans secured four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans put the Buccaneers' first points on the board with a four-yard scoring grab in the first quarter but had a relatively quiet afternoon otherwise. The veteran seemed to show no ill effects from the hamstring injury that cost him Week 16, and with the pending release of Antonio Brown following his actions in Sunday's game, Evans should be in for a significant workload in Week 18 against the Panthers and during the postseason.

Analysis: Evans will make his return from a one-game absence as expected after also overcoming a COVID-19 designation earlier in the week. He only managed one limited practice, which occurred Friday, over the last two weeks, leading to reports he could have his snap count somewhat limited Sunday.

He sat out every practice Week 16 before sitting out the Bucs' win over the Panthers, and his lack of full activity this week looks like it will prompt Tampa Bay to take a cautious approach with him Sunday.

Analysis: Evans was on the COVID-19 list Monday through Thursday, after sitting out every practice last week and missing last Sunday's win over Carolina due to the hamstring injury.

Analysis: Evans landed on the COVID list early this week but was able to clear league protocols over the past few days. However, the 28-year-old isn't necessarily in the clear to play Sunday against the Jets because he continues to nurse the hamstring strain that sidelined him for Week 16.

Back at team facilities
Evans (hamstring) ran routes and was on the receiving end of passes from practice squad quarterback Ryan Griffin at the Buccaneers' facilities Thursday, indicating the team has activated him from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: The move isn't official, but Evans likely cleared league protocols. Stroud noted that Evans seemed to get fatigued, which could be a residual effect of his time away from the team, or merely due to the hamstring issue that he sustained in his last appearance Week 15 against the Saints. If he's indeed off the COVID-19 list, Evans should show up on Thursday's injury report, perhaps as a limited participant due to his minimal activity.

Tampa Bay placed Evans (hamstring) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: After missing the Buccaneers' Week 16 win over the Panthers due to the strained hamstring, Evans was gearing up for a potential return to the lineup Week 17 against the Jets, but his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list provides another complication in his effort to play Sunday. If vaccinated, Evans will have a chance to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol prior to Sunday's game, but he'll almost certainly miss practice time leading up to the contest.

Could return for Weeks 17 and 18
Evans (hamstring), who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, has a chance to return for the Buccaneers' final two contests of the regular season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tampa Bay is viewing Evans as week-to-week after he injured his hamstring in last Sunday's loss to the Saints, but the 28-year-old appears to be dealing with a low-grade strain that should take a long-term absence off the table. That said, after failing to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, Evans will likely need to return to the field next week as at least a limited participant in order to have a realistic shot at suiting up for the Buccaneers' upcoming matchup with the Jets.…read more

Chance to play Sunday
The Buccaneers aren't ruling Evans from playing Week 16 against the Panthers after he exited Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints with a strained hamstring, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Although the report suggests that Evans is considered week-to-week, Tampa Bay is holding out hope that the wideout could show enough improvement over the next several days to put himself on track to play this weekend. Whether Evans is available Week 16 or later down the road, he could see a bit of an uptick in targets going forward, given that fellow receiver Chris Godwin (knee) has been ruled out for the season with a torn ACL.

Optimism about injury severity
Evans (hamstring) may have avoided a serious injury after being forced out of Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Evans escaping without a severe injury is particularly good news for the Buccaneers considering that Chris Godwin is reportedly in danger of missing the rest of the regular season due to an MCL sprain. That said, soft tissue injuries can be difficult to deal with, so Evans' status at practice will need to be monitored closely before any assumptions about his Week 16 availability can be made.

Evans secured all six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans checked in second behind Chris Godwin in receptions and receiving yards on a highly efficient afternoon. The veteran wideout's 13-yard scoring grab midway through the second quarter was his first since Week 11 and pushed his season tally to 11, just two short of the career high he established in 2020. Evans' next opportunity to add to that tally comes in a Week 15 Sunday night clash against a Saints defense that's often given him trouble.

Evans secured seven of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Chris Godwin stole the spotlight with a 15-143 tally, but Evans turned in an impressive performance by any measure in his own right. The multi-time Pro Bowler checked in second across the board to Godwin on the stat sheet, producing his best reception total since Week 4 and highest yardage tally since Week 5. Evans will have a thorny challenge in a Week 14 home battle against the Bills, although the absence of Tre'Davious White (knee) for Buffalo could help make for a more palatable matchup.

Three grabs in win
Evans brought in three of five targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans struggled with a Colts secondary known to be tough on wideouts, leading to his lowest yardage total of the season. He has also now recorded three receptions or less in four of the last six contests, and on Sunday he wasn't able to prop up his fantasy production with a touchdown, as he'd done at least once in five games during that same span. A more appealing positional matchup does await Evans in Week 13, however, as the Buccaneers travel to Atlanta to face an average Falcons secondary.

Analysis: With Antonio Brown (ankle) still sidelined, Evans, who had sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, and Chris Godwin are slated to head the Buccaneers' Week 12 wideout corps. As long as he avoids any in-game setbacks, Evans should maintain his key role in the offense, one that has resulted in him scoring 10 TDs in any many games to date, including six scores over his last four outings.

Not practicing again
Evans (back) wasn't present for the open portion of Thursday's practice and is set to be listed as a non-participant on Tampa Bay's official report, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Evans also failed to take any reps during Wednesday's walk-through practice due to back tightness, an injury he likely picked up coming out of Monday's 30-10 win over the Giants. With a matchup with the Colts on tap for Sunday, Evans will have one fewer day than usual this week to gear up for game day, so the fact that he's nursing an injury is less than ideal. However, so long as Evans can fit in some on-field activity Friday, he should be in good shape to suit up this weekend.

Jackson and turned in his third straight solid fantasy performance (6.7 receptions, 85.3 yards and two total touchdowns over that span).

Evans secured five of nine targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 48-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: After mostly being left out of the fun in a wild Week 1 win over the Cowboys, Evans bounced back to pace the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets Sunday. He also made his first two end-zone visits of the season, notching one- and three-yard touchdown receptions in the second and third quarters, respectively. Evans unsurprisingly confirmed his lackluster Week 1 showing was nothing for fantasy managers to be overly concerned with, but he'll have the unenviable task of facing…read more

Quiet in Week 1 win
Evans secured three of six targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Analysis: On a night when the trio of Antonio Brown, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski combined for 22 receptions, 316 yards and four touchdowns, Evans was notably the odd man out of the fun. The Pro Bowl wideout had a late drop and otherwise wasn't looked to as often as his trio of teammates, but that's hardly reason for fretting on the part of fantasy managers. Evans displayed excellent chemistry with Tom Brady during their first season together in 2020 to the tune of a 70-1,006-13 line, and the…read more

Restructures contract for cap space
Evans has agreed to restructure his contract with the Buccaneers, creating $8.9 million in salary cap space, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's the typical cap-clearing agreement, converting base salary into bonus money. Evans still gets the same compensation, more or less, and still has three years remaining on a five-year, $82.5 million extension. He'll open his season at home in Tampa Bay next Thursday night, facing a Dallas defense that likely will start CBs Trevon Diggs and Anthony Brown on the perimeter. It's a favorable matchup for Evans, though the 6-foot-2 Diggs at least can match up from a size standpoint.

Tallies two receptions
Evans recorded two receptions on three targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.
Analysis: Evans played for three drives alongside the majority of the team's offensive starters. He caught a pair of passes that went for nine and 11 yards respectively, but he was quiet otherwise. As has been the case for each of the last seven seasons, Evans will be a focal point of the offense and will look to get off to a hot start in Week 1 against Dallas.

Not in line to play Saturday
Evan is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bruce Arians doesn't anticipate any of the starters taking part, but Tom Brady was the only player named by the coach. In any case, we can assume that includes the likes of Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski, who all, like Brady, played only six offensive snaps on the first drive of the Bucs' exhibition opener this past Saturday.

Already flashing midseason form
Evans has been particularly impressive over the first three days of training camp despite soaring temperatures, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. "That's Mike," said head coach Bruce Arians on Tuesday. "He should be, he's All-Pro. If he wasn't I'd be really concerned. Some of these guys didn't train in this humidity. Mike's one of these guys, he gets there and I'm really pleased with where he's at."
Analysis: The fact the multi-time Pro Bowler is standing out isn't completely newsworthy given his track record, but Evans made two especially impressive catches in Monday's two-minute drill and then was even more prolific throughout Tuesday's session. Evans appears to also have lost weight this offseason, and he's encouraged by the prospect of an offense that already appears to be reaping the benefits of having a year in Arians' system under its collective belt. "I felt that in mini-camp," said Evans.…read more

Looking lean this summer
Evans looked leaner at June minicamp, according to Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site.
Analysis: Evans has always been one of the league's largest wideouts, typically listed with his combine measurement of 6-foot-5, 231 pounds. He might be a bit lighter this summer, but he'll still have the size advantage over every defensive back he faces. The soon-to-be 28-year-old finished last season with a career high for touchdowns (13) and a career low for targets (106), ultimately reaching 1,000 yards (just barely) for a seventh straight year. Tampa Bay's offense looks much the same as last season,…read more

One long catch in SB LV win
Evans secured his only target for 31 yards during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans surprisingly saw as many targets as Tyler Johnson, offensive lineman Joe Haeg, Tanner Hudson and Ronald Jones, but he still found a way to make an impact in Tampa Bay's victory. Evans' one reception served as a game-long catch for the Buccaneers, and he also drew a critical pass interference penalty late in the first half that put the ball at the Chiefs' nine-yard line and set up an eventual one-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Antonio Brown. Despite the relatively quiet finish to…read more

Puts in full practice
Evans (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: The Buccaneers capped Evans' practice reps last week, as they would have done if the team had been facing a normal turnaround for a game. Now that he's gotten some maintenance time, Evans shouldn't face any limitations in the Buccaneers' remaining practices leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl LV matchup with the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Antonio Brown (knee) got back on the practice field in a limited capacity Wednesday, helping Tampa Bay inch closer to full capacity in its receiving corps.

Logs limited session
Evans (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Since picking up a knee injury Week 17, Evans' has had his practice reps capped, but he's still produced, per usual. Through three postseason games, Evans has compiled a 10-173-2 line on 21 targets. The Buccaneers are in the midst of their first of two weeks of preparation for Super Bowl LV, so there's little reason to believe Evans' status against the Chiefs is in question.

Evans (knee) was listed as a limited participant Wednesday's on the Buccaneers' estimated practice report.
Analysis: Evans has been managing a knee injury since Week 17, but he's still suited up for all three of the Buccaneers' playoff games. During that stretch, he has hauled in 10 of 21 targets for 173 yards and two touchdowns. Elsewhere in the Tampa Bay receiving corps, Antonio Brown wouldn't have practiced Wednesday if the team held a session, and he's expected to remain a spectator for the rest of this week.

Finds end zone in championship win
Evans secured three of eight targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Evans was far from efficient and saw a ball bounce off his outstretched hands in the fourth quarter, resulting in Tom Brady's second interception of the afternoon. However, the multi-time Pro Bowler did contribute a 16-yard scoring grab that opened the Buccaneers' scoring on the day, his second touchdown in as many postseason games. He'lll look to make it a hat trick in that department during a Super Bowl LV matchup versus either the Bills or Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 7.

Cleared from injury report
Evans (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Evans injured his knee Week 17 but has nonetheless managed to play 84 and 88 percent of Tampa's offensive snaps in two playoff games. He caught six passes for 119 yards in the wild-card round, followed by just one reception for a three-yard touchdown in the divisional round. Antonio Brown's upcoming absence due to a knee injury of his own could push a few more targets toward Evans or Chris Godwin.

Another limited showing
Evans (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Evans maintained his activity level from Wednesday, when his reps were capped in a walk-through session. Chris Godwin (quadriceps) is in the same boat as Evans, while Antonio Brown (knee) has been unable to practice this week. Even if Evans is unable to put in a full session Friday, it appears as if the Buccaneers are managing his practice reps to make sure he's ready for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Green Bay.

The Buccaneers listed Evans (knee) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: In addition to Evans, wideout Chris Godwin (hip/quadriceps) and running back Ronald Jones (finger/calf) were also labeled as limited. Greg Auman of The Athletic suggests that the trio's listed limitations can be viewed as carryover from last week, when all managed to play through their respective injuries in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Saints. Like last week, expect Evans to eventually enter this weekend's NFC Championship Game against the Packers without an injury designation.

Makes one catch count
Evans brought in one of three targets for a three-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: On an evening when the Buccaneers passing game cooled off significantly, Evans tied a season-low figure in receptions while just exceeding his low-water mark in yards. However, the multi-time Pro Bowler at least made his one reception count, as it allowed Tampa Bay to overcome a 6-3 second-quarter deficit. Evans didn't appear to show any limitations with respect to the hyperextended knee he suffered back in Week 17, and he'll look to bounce back with a much more productive environment in what…read more

Excels in wild-card win
Evans (knee) secured six of 10 targets for 119 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.
Analysis: Six days after suffering an ugly hyperextension, Evans was not only active and playing without restrictions, but thriving as the Buccaneers' leader in receptions and receiving yards. The veteran made a number of impressive catches throughout the contest, and his target tally was second only to that of fellow wideout Chris Godwin's. Evans' 100-yard effort marked his third time eclipsing the century mark in the last four contests dating back to Week 15, and he'll look to continue offering a…read more

Analysis: Evans was the only one of the top receiving trio of himself, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown to not find the end zone, but he led the team's pass catchers in receptions and receiving yardage while tying for the lead in targets. The multi-time Pro Bowler last crossed the 100-yard mark back in Week 4, so the boost in production was especially timely for fantasy managers and atoned for Evans' second straight game without a touchdown grab.

Evans brought in three of five targets for 56 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans' relatively modest receiving yardage tally nevertheless led the Buccaneers on an afternoon in which Tom Brady put the ball up just 23 times. The multi-time Pro Bowler also tied Antonio Brown for the team lead in targets and showed no ill effects from the hamstring issue that plagued him during the practice week. Evans now has failed to exceed Sunday's yardage total in three straight games, a dubious streak he'll look to put behind him versus the vulnerable Falcons secondary Week 15.

Evans hauled in three of nine targets for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans certainly made the most of his handful of receptions, and he even fought through what appeared to be an ankle issue that caused him to limp off for a play in the second half. The big wideout's connection with Tom Brady wasn't operating on all cylinders, however, as evidenced by both his poor catch rate and the fact Brady's second interception of the day came on a pass intended for Evans in which there appeared to be some degree of miscommunication.

Evans had four receptions (six targets) for 64 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints. He appeared to tweak his groin in the third quarter, but promptly returned to the field one play later.
Analysis: Once the injury scare was out of the way, fantasy managers could turn their disappointment to Evans' production on the field. The blame can't be placed entirely on the star wideout, as he didn't see a target until the second half despite the Buccaneers playing from behind for the entire contest. Evans ended up leading the team in receiving yards on a night to forget for Tom Brady and the entire Tampa Bay offense. The Bucs' aerial attack will look to get back on track in a favorable matchup…read more

Another touchdown in win
Evans caught five of seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 25-23 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Evans continued his touchdown tear, making an excellent grab from eight yards out to give Tampa Bay the lead to start the fourth quarter. The wideout has now scored seven times this season, flexing his muscles when in the red zone and putting him on pace for a new career high in the category. Although Evans' yardage totals haven't reached those of prior years with the same consistency, he remains a weekly threat due to his regular involvement and scoring punch. Whether or not teammate Chris…read more

Bounce-back week in store?
Evans could be set for a resurgent Week 8 performance Monday night against the Giants with Chris Godwin (finger) ruled out for the contest.
Analysis: Jenna Laine of ESPN.com confirms Godwin fractured his index finger on his fourth-quarter touchdown reception in Sunday's win over the Raiders and will be forced to miss Week 8 at minimum. Evans has logged just four targets combined over the last pair of contests as he struggles to overcome a lingering ankle injury, but the combination of Godwin's absence and the extra day to heal up ahead of the Week 8 contest should leave him poised for a boost in opportunity and production. In the three games…read more

Struggles in Week 7 win
Evans secured both of his targets for 37 yards in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: By the end of the practice week, Evans had shed the injury designation he'd been carrying due to an ankle issue, but he isn't 100 percent by all accounts and continued to struggle getting open in Sunday's victory. Evans' target count lagged significantly behind that of fellow wideouts Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller, who logged nine looks apiece. The multi-time Pro Bowler has a combined 3-47 line over the past two games on four total targets, and he's also interspersed a pair of two-yard…read more

Ready for Sunday
Evans (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Evans even closed out the week as a full practice participant for the first time since Oct. 2. He's seen only 10 targets in the three games where both he and Chris Godwin have been active, but the Bucs shouldn't have too much trouble finding a way to keep both wide receivers regularly involved. The 6-foot-5 Evans has been living off touchdowns this year, scoring on six of his 23 receptions.

Maintains limited practice activity
Evans (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Both Evans and Chris Godwin (hamstring) have now had their reps capped in consecutive practices to begin Week 7, but head coach Bruce Arians hasn't suggested that either receiver is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Raiders. After scoring at least one touchdown in each of the Buccaneers' first five games, Evans' streak came to an end in last week's 38-10 win over the Packers while Arians leaned on a run-heavy attack in the blowout. He finished the day with just two targets across…read more

Begins week as limited
Evans (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Evans sat out the Buccaneers' first practice of Week 6 before advancing to limited work the following two days, so kicking off Week 7 preparations with a limited session implies he's made some progress in his recovery from the right ankle sprain he sustained Week 4. Still, his status will be watched closely to ensure he's available for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

TD streak ends Sunday
Evans caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.
Analysis: The two targets were a season low for Evans, and it's the first time all year he hasn't been able to haul in a TD, though it was the third time in six games he's been held to 10 yards or fewer. The game script did him no favors, as the Bucs' defense dominated the action, but it was still worrisome that all three of those low yardage totals have come in the three games Chris Godwin was healthy enough to play. Tom Brady will get another chance to make both his star receivers productive at the…read more

Evans (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: After the session, Evans told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that he's "definitely feeling better" after last Thursday's loss at Chicago. "Still some soreness, but nothing I can't play through." Evans' ability to get on the field bodes well for his upcoming availability, and he may have Chris Godwin (hamstring) at his side after his teammate logged a second consecutive limited session Thursday.

Evans (ankle) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Tampa Bay listed Evans as a non-participant in their first practice of the week Wednesday, but the wideout looks like he'll have a good chance to at least put in a limited workout Thursday. The Buccaneers will reveal how extensively Evans was involved in the session when the team releases its second Week 6 practice report later Thursday.

DNP on Wednesday
Evans (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Evans was noticeably hindered by his right ankle sprain in last Thursday's loss to the Bears, but he still played 85 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to five catches (on nine targets) for 41 yards and one touchdown. He also didn't practice in advance of that game, so he doesn't necessarily have to do so this week either to be available for Sunday's game against the Packers. Elsewhere in the receiving corps, both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Scotty Miller (hip/groin) were limited…read more

Nabs league-leading sixth TD catch
Evans (ankle) brought in five of nine targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Analysis: Evans was able to prove worthy of active status in pregame warmups, and he proceeded to have a solid impact on the game by ringing up the Buccaneers' only touchdown of the night. The Pro Bowl receiver now leads the NFL with six touchdown receptions, and he may have recorded his seventh had Tom Brady been able to properly place a deep ball on a fourth-quarter play where Evans had broken free down the left sideline. The wideout will now have some extra days to heal up before a Week 6 home…read more

Evans (ankle) is listed as active Thursday at Chicago.
Analysis: Despite being unable to practice this week, Evans tested out his injured ankle during a pregame workout, cutting and making moves out of the break, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Set to suit up Thursday
Evans (ankle) is expected to play Thursday at Chicago, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports
Analysis: While the Buccaneers will be without wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest), they intend to have the services of Evans and Scotty Miller (hip/groin). The decision appears to hinge on Evans' pregame workout, which included cutting and "explosive" moves out of the break, per Stroud. Evans' ankles were taped up, too, so it seems to indicate he'll be out there Thursday.

Showing optimism for Thursday
Evans (ankle) will need to successfully complete pre-game workouts in order to be active Thursday night against Chicago, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Evans was the team's most targeted wide receiver Week 4 against the Chargers with Chris Godwin (hamstring) sidelined, but he emerged from the game with an ankle injury that forced him out of practice for the entire week. Even though he's operating on a short week, there's still optimism that Evans will take the field, though it absolutely warrants confirmation roughly 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff. Evans could be in for another target-heavy week if everything checks out in…read more

Status in question for Week 5
Evans (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest at Chicago, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Evans was unable to practice this week, but he'll have a chance to suit up Thursday, unlike fellow wideouts Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest). Assuming Evans is active, he'll be the primary pass-catching option for Tom Brady, while Scotty Miller (hip/groin) -- who is also questionable -- is the top option to fill in for Godwin in the slot.

No practice Tuesday
Evans (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The absence marks his second in as many days for Evans due to a right ankle sprain. Despite the injury, he racked up seven catches (on eight targets) for 122 yards and one touchdown this past Sunday versus the Chargers. He'll have one more opportunity to practice before the Bucs tab Evans with an official injury designation for Thursday's game at Chicago.

Not seen Tuesday
Evans (ankle) wasn't present at the portion of Tuesday's walk-through open to the media, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: If he indeed doesn't take the field Tuesday, it'll mark Evans' second DNP of Week 5 prep. He toughed out a sprained right ankle this past Sunday against the Chargers, reeling in seven of eight passes for 122 yards and one touchdown. Ultimately, he doesn't necessarily have to practice in order to play Thursday at Chicago, but he still technically has two chances to do so before the Bucs release their final injury of the week Wednesday.

Listed as non-participant at practice
Evans (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: A sprained right ankle that the wideout suffered in Sunday's win over the Chargers is the culprit. Now, it remains to be seen if he's able to recover in time to suit up Thursday night against Chicago. With Monday being used as a recovery day for many of the Bucs' banged-up players, what Evans is able to do on the field Tuesday should shed more light on his Week 5 status.

Medical evaluation on tap
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Evans is set to receive medical evaluation after suffering a right ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Chargers, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Arians said Evans is "as tough as they come," and that the star wideout was on "a leg and a half" while playing through his injury Sunday. Evans managed to surpass the 100-yard mark and score despite being injured early, so there's reason to be optimistic that he could continue to play through the issue without missing time, but Thursday's upcoming contest against the Bears leaves only a short window for rest.

Eclipses 100-yard mark in win
Evans brought in seven of eight targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans overcame an ankle injury in the first half to pace the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon. His late second-quarter touchdown grab, Evans' fifth of the season, was key to the Buccaneers' comeback, as Tampa Bay found itself down by a 24-7 score at the time. Evans was able to finish the contest despite occasionally showing some signs of lower-leg discomfort, but it appears he'll be ready to serve as the linchpin of the pass-catching corps in a quick turnaround game…read more

Analysis: Evans was in line for a huge target count with running mate Chris Godwin (hamstring) in street clothes Week 4. Indeed, Evans hauled in all three targets for 47 yards before his departure. The Buccaneers have yet to tab him with a designation, but for the time being, the receiving corps has been whittled down to Scotty Miller, Justin Watson, Tyler Johnson and Jaydon Mickens.

Maximizes catches in Week 3 win
Evans secured both of his targets for a pair of one-yard touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-10 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans was uncharacteristically quiet from a cumulative statistical standpoint, but the fact both his receptions went for touchdowns rewarded fantasy managers nevertheless. Evans' receiving yardage tally was naturally an outlier that is unlikely to come close to repeating itself this season. Additionally, the 27-year-old already has four touchdowns on the campaign, and the level of trust that clearly already exists between him and Brady should continue to pay handsome fantasy dividends…read more

Analysis: After a rough Week 1 where he managed a hamstring injury and finished with just a 1-4-1 line, Evans bounced back with a couple of splash plays on his way to his first 100-yard effort with Tom Brady as his battery mate. The sixth-year wideout recorded a game-high 50-yard grab, and he also connected with Brady for a 23-yard touchdown catch in the latter portion of the first quarter for Tampa Bay's second touchdown of the day.

Cleared for Week 2
Evans (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Evans logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. He gets a great matchup against a vulnerable Carolina secondary, and he could see even more targets than usual if Chris Godwin (concussion - doubtful) is inactive. For all the theatrics surrounding his status last week, Evans ended up playing 93 percent of the offensive snaps in a loss to New Orleans, though he was limited to a single reception (a two-yard TD) on four targets.

Analysis: Despite his uncertain status prior to the Buccaneers' Week 1 loss at New Orleans, Evans suited up and played 65 of 70 offensive snaps while scoring a touchdown among his four targets. Clearly, his status will be one to watch as this week goes on, but his ability to take part in the first practice of Week 2 is a sign that he's attempting to gut out his hamstring injury and continue to suit up on game days.

Finds end zone in Sunday's loss
Evans caught one of four targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The receiver headed into Week 1 a question mark due to a hamstring strain, and while Evans was active, his usage suggests he may not have been 100 percent. New Bucs quarterback Tom Brady did look his way in the red zone in the fourth quarter, however, as Tampa attempted a comeback. With another week to heal, Evans should be a bigger part of the game plan in Week 2 against a Panthers defense that looked more vulnerable on the ground than through the air in its opener.

Analysis: It's hard to view this as anything but a step in the right direction, but the plan has always been for Evans to essentially be a game-time call Sunday. Evans managed to practice Friday in a limited capacity so Saturday's upgrade certainly seems like a positive indication of the star wideout's status.

Called 'doubtful' for Week 1
Evans (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at New Orleans.
Analysis: The Buccaneers seem to be waiting until Sunday to make a final call on Evans' availability for Week 1, but the fact he was tagged with a "doubtful" designation is not a great sign that he'll be active. He did get back on the practice field Friday in a limited capacity, but if Evans is unable to suit up this weekend, Chris Godwin will be the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, while Scotty Miller, Justin Watson and rookie Tyler Johnson will be candidates for additional snaps.

Could be game-time call Week 1
Coach Bruce Arians told Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site that Evans, who didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, may be a game-time call Sunday at New Orleans.
Analysis: Arians relayed Evans doesn't have to practice this week in order to play, but the decision will "go all the way to the wire." It should be noted Evans missed the final three games of last season due to a strained right hamstring, so his status will be watched closely as Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff draws closer. If he's unable to suit up, his absence would free up reps for Justin Watson, and perhaps rookie Tyler Johnson, who sit directly behind Evans on the depth chart.

Misses practice with injury
Evans was held out of practice Wednesday, with coach Bruce Arians calling the wide receiver is day-to-day with a soft-tissue injury, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This is the first report of any issue for Evans this summer, and the timing is cause for concern even if the Buccaneers don't think it's a serious injury. The wideout has some history of hamstring and groin injuries, including a three-game absence to close out last season.

Evans (hamstring) is slated to catch passes from Tom Brady during the 2020 season after the latter agreed to a two-year deal with the Buccaneers this week, Jim Trotter of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Despite playing with interception-prone Jameis Winston, Evans proved to be an excellent fit for coach Bruce Arians' offense during his first season in the scheme in 2019. The towering wideout generated a solid 67-1,157-8 line across 13 games before a hamstring injury held him out of the final three regular-season contests.

Officially ruled out

Analysis: Evans wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week and is also in danger of missing the final two games of the season. Coach Bruce Arians said the team hasn't considered moving him to injured reserve at this stage, but the discussion should come up soon if Evans doesn't display tangible progress in his recovery from his pulled hamstring. Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson, Scott Miller and Cameron Brate are viable candidates to pick up some of Evans' vacated snaps, while Chris Godwin and O.J.…read more

Not being considered for IR
Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that the Buccaneers have no plans to place Evans (hamstring) on injured reserve, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The results of the MRI that Evans underwent earlier this week haven't been disclosed, but Arians confirmed Wednesday that the star wideout is dealing with a hamstring strain. Though prior reports indicated that Evans' injury would sideline him for the remainder of 2019, the Buccaneers are holding out hope that the 26-year-old can progress quickly and return to the lineup for the final two games of the season. In any case, Evans looks likely to miss at least Sunday's game against the Lions,…read more

Likely done for 2019
Evans (hamstring) is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It was reported Monday that Evans was 'very doubtful' heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Lions, but now it appears that the star receiver likely won't be back at all in 2019. Fowler notes that it would take an 'unexpected improvement' for Evans to make a return this season. He'll undergo an MRI on Tuesday, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. With Evans sidelined, Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson could see increased roles while Chris Godwin takes over as the unquestioned No. 1 WR in the…read more

Deemed 'very doubtful' for Week 15
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Evans (hamstring) is "very doubtful" for the Buccaneers' Week 15 game in Detroit, though the wideout hasn't been ruled out for the season, Scott Smith of Tampa Bay's official site reports.
Analysis: Evans was sent in for an MRI after a hamstring injury caused him to pull up lame on a 61-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Panthers. Arians' postgame comments intimated the Buccaneers were bracing for bad news from the tests, but the coach relayed Monday that Evans has been diagnosed with a pulled hamstring -- an encouraging outcome, all things considered. While Evans likely won't make it back for next weekend, the Buccaneers could welcome him back to the lineup for the…read more

MRI coming Monday
Evans is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday as the Buccaneers look to determine the severity of the right hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Colts, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Buccaneers seem to be bracing for bad news on Evans' tests, as coach Bruce Arians said after Sunday's game that he would be "shocked" if the wideout is ready to play before Week 17, per Laine. Evans at least made an impact for fantasy managers before departing in the first quarter with the hamstring injury, which he tweaked while outrunning Colts cornerback Pierre Desir on a 61-yard touchdown reception. Second-year receiver Justin Watson stepped up the most following Evans' exit, finishing…read more

Season potentially over
The hamstring injury Evans suffered in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Colts could be of the season-ending variety, Roy Cummings of WFLA NewsChannel 8 reports.
Analysis: Evans pulled up lame after taking his only reception 61 yards for a touchdown in the first half against the Colts. Coach Bruce Arians sounded a highly pessimistic tone about Evans' status in his postgame press conference, saying the word on the Pro-Bowl receiver was "not good". More updates are certain to come over the next 24-to-48 hours, with an MRI almost assuredly on tap. In the interim, with what appears to be at least a one-game absence in Evans' immediate future, Chris Godwin and Breshad…read more

Injures hamstring, won't return
Evans won't return to Sunday's game versus the Colts due to a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jameis Winston hit Evans in stride for a 61-yard TD near the end of the first quarter, but the wide receiver pulled up at the end of the play and seemed to be favoring his right hamstring. Evans has no chance to return Sunday. His status will be monitored closely to get a sense of the injury.

Leads team in targets
Evans secured four of 11 targets for 53 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans paced the team in targets, but it only equated to his third straight sub-70-yard effort through the air. The multi-time Pro Bowler has gone four consecutive games without eclipsing the century mark overall, but the fact he's now seen double-digit targets in five contests this season speaks to how locked in his volume is. Evans will look to bounce back with better numbers against the Colts in Week 14.

Quiet day in Week 12 win
Evans secured four of eight targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans tied position mate Chris Godwin for the team lead in targets, but he was a distant second in receptions and particularly receiving yardage. Evans and Godwin appear to often alternate weeks as the top target for Jameis Winston, and while Sunday was definitely Evans' turn to play second fiddle, he did eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the sixth straight season to open his career with Sunday's tally. The multi-time Pro Bowler naturally retains plenty of upside heading into a Week 13…read more

Modest numbers in Week 11 loss
Evans brought in four of eight targets for 69 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans ostensibly got a matchup boost when Marshon Lattimore was ruled out of the contest earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury, but he was unable to fully capitalize. The multi-time Pro Bowler has now been under the century mark in back-to-back games after putting up a combined 378 receiving yards and three touchdowns over the prior pair of contests. Evans is still arguably Jameis Winston's top target the majority of weeks despite the occasional fluctuation in production, so he'll be in…read more

Gets matchup upgrade
Evans has an improved Week 11 outlook with Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official website reports.
Analysis: It's been an interesting one-on-one matchup since Lattimore entered the league in 2017, with each bout producing a decisive winner. Evans roasted the Saints for 233 yards on just 13 targets in two games last season, but he then put up a goose egg in a Week 5 loss this year. The matchup is really only relevant for daily fantasy, considering Evans is on pace for a 96-1,643-12 receiving line. He's a solid WR1 in any season-long league, entering Sunday with four straight games with more than 80…read more

Solid but unspectacular in win
Evans hauled in four of six targets for 82 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Evans once again paced the team in receiving yardage, but he actually was just fourth in targets and checked in under 100 yards receiving for the first time in the last three contests. He had been on an unsustainable pace of averaging 15 targets per game over the last three contests, and although he saw a considerable drop in looks Sunday, he still naturally remains a strong play in all formats going into a Week 11 divisional showdown against the Saints.

Eye-popping line in Week 9 loss
Evans secured 12 of 16 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: For the second straight game, Evans put up stellar fantasy numbers in a close Buccaneers loss. The standout receiver now has a 23-378-3 line over the last pair of games, and he's drawn a jaw-dropping 45 targets over the last three contests overall. Evans could have had an even bigger day, as he was the intended receiver on a pass that ended up in the hands of teammate Breshad Perriman in the end zone after it was deflected into the air. Given his elite production of late, Evans remains a very…read more
