Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver, Mike Evans, made a return to practice on Saturday, but his availability for the upcoming Monday night game is still uncertain. Evans had been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury which caused him to miss a couple of practice sessions leading up to last week’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Despite making an appearance in the game, Evans saw a decrease in his offensive snaps, raising concerns about his readiness to face the Baltimore Ravens.
Head coach Todd Bowles acknowledged the lingering doubts surrounding Evans’ status, but remained hopeful about his progress. Bowles mentioned, “He did some things today that were encouraging . . . we’ll see how he feels Monday. He’s questionable right now,” as reported by the team’s website. The team is keeping a close eye on Evans’ condition in the lead up to game day.
In other injury news, the Buccaneers are expecting the return of wide receiver Trey Palmer, who had missed the last two games due to a concussion. However, wide receiver Kameron Johnson has been ruled out for the upcoming game due to an ankle injury. Additionally, tight end Payne Durham and cornerback Jamel Dean will also be sidelined with calf and hamstring issues respectively.
As the Buccaneers prepare for a challenging matchup against the Ravens, the status of key players like Mike Evans will be crucial in determining the team’s success on Monday night. Fans will be anxiously awaiting updates on Evans’ condition as game day approaches, hoping to see the star wide receiver back in action on the field. The team will be looking to rally together in the face of multiple injuries and setbacks to secure a victory in front of their home crowd.
