Mike Evans - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

First 100-yard game of 2024 Evans recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against the Panthers.

Impact Evans began his performance with a highlight-reel two-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter and operated as Baker Mayfield's top target from there. On top of the impressive grab in the end zone, Evans also topped the century mark for the first time in 2024 thanks to lengthy receptions of 27, 21 and 17 yards. He's also unsurprisingly operated as one of Tampa Bay's best offensive weapons near the end zone, as he now has seven touchdowns in nine games on the campaign.

Team-high yardage total in return Evans brought in five of six targets for 68 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Making his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Evans finished with a game-high receiving yardage total while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout looked as healthy as he proclaimed he was coming into the game and contributed a 26-yard grab among his five catches. Evans, whose catch and yardage totals Sunday were his highest since Week 4, will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 13 road divisional battle.

Back in action Sunday Evans (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants.

Impact Evans is suiting up for the first time since Week 7 due to a right hamstring injury that he aggravated in that contest. He followed an LP/FP/LP regimen in his return to practice this past week, so there's a chance he isn't all the way back to normal in Sunday's game. On the other hand, fellow WR Chris Godwin is out for the rest of the season due to a dislocated left ankle, so Evans is a decent bet to be on the receiving end of many Baker Mayfield passes. Evans requires 665 receiving yards over the final seven contests of the campaign in order to attain an 11th straight 1,000-yard season.

On track for Sunday Evans (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, is on track to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact This was essentially expected as Evans suggested earlier in the month that he was anticipating returning following the team's Week 11 bye. Fantasy managers will need to confirm the veteran's status ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET, but should the 31-year-old be officially cleared he'll likely be extremely motivated to continue his 1,000-yard receiving streak that dates back to his debut in 2014.

Questionable for Week 12 Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Evans missed the three contests before the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye due to the right hamstring strain that he aggravated during a Week 7 loss to the Ravens. Coming out of the midseason respite, he sandwiched a pair of limited practices around Thursday's full session, but there remains a question mark about his potential to return this weekend. Coach Todd Bowles told Laine earlier Friday that Evans will play Sunday "as long as he's healthy and fresh," something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, approximately 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Logs full practice Thursday Evans (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Evans thus is poised to put an end to a three-game absence due to the strained right hamstring that he aggravated during a Week 7 loss the Ravens. With fellow WR Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Evans will be the unquestioned top target for QB Baker Mayfield moving forward as he looks to build upon the 26-335-6 line on 45 targets that he's put up so far this season.

Limited in return to practice Evans (hamstring) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Coach Todd Bowles relayed to Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site earlier Wednesday that Evans was trending toward a return to action for Sunday's visit to the Giants. A capped showing to begin Week 12 prep indicates Evans will ramp up his workload as the week continues, meaning his activity will be monitored closely to ensure Bowles' thoughts become a reality this weekend. In the end, Evans is seeking his first game action since aggravating a right hamstring strain Week 7 versus the Ravens, which so far has sidelined him for three contests.

Trending toward return in Week 12 Coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Evans (hamstring) is trending toward a return to action Sunday at the Giants, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact After Evans aggravated a strained right hamstring Week 7 against the Ravens, Bowles relayed that the wide receiver would miss the three games before Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye. There was an expectation that Evans would be available after the team's midseason respite, but he'll need to get through this week unscathed in order to do so. He was seen on the field during Monday's unofficial practice coming out of the bye, and his listing on Wednesday's injury report could be telling for his upcoming availability.

Takes field for practice Evans (hamstring) was spotted on the field Monday during the portion of the Buccaneers' practice that was open to the media, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coming out of their Week 11 bye, the Buccaneers held a bonus practice Monday, but the team won't issue its first official Week 12 practice report until Wednesday, at which point the extent of Evans' activity will be known. Evans missed the Buccaneers' final three games before the bye week due to a right hamstring strain, but the club's decision not to place him on injured reserve implied that he was expected to return to action this Sunday against the Giants. The Buccaneers will wait and see how Evans fares during practices Wednesday through Friday before making a call on his status for the Week 12 contest.

Eyeing return after Week 11 bye Evans (hamstring) said that he's optimistic that he'll be available to play Week 12 against the Giants on Nov. 24 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports...

Impact Evans strained his right hamstring in an Oct. 21 loss to the Ravens and will miss his third game in a row Sunday against the 49ers, though he suggested that it "would have been close" for him to play this weekend if he had rehabbed the injury more aggressively. Instead, the Buccaneers elected to take a more cautious approach with Evans, who should be tracking toward a return if he's able to resume practicing in Week 12 without any setbacks. While both Evans and Chris Godwin (ankle) have been sidelined for the past two contests, tight end Cade Otton has emerged as more of a focal point in the passing game with 21 targets between those two games.

Working out off to side Wednesday Evans (hamstring) was spotted working out off to the side with a trainer during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact The Buccaneers are still planning on holding Evans out for a third straight game this Sunday against the 49ers, but his presence at practice -- albeit without any involvement in drills -- bodes well for his chances of being ready to return to the lineup following the team's Week 11 bye. While playing the last two games without Evans and Chris Godwin (ankle), quarterback Baker Mayfield has relied more heavily on tight end Cade Otton (21 targets) and has spread the ball around among the Buccaneers' available wideouts.

Impact Tampa Bay isn't placing Evans on injured reserve, with the team seemingly hopeful that he'll be able to avoid a four-game absence and instead miss just three games due to the hamstring injury he aggravated in the first half of Monday's loss to the Ravens. If all goes well in Evans' recovery, the expectation is that he'll be ready to play coming out of the bye week and make his return to the lineup Nov. 24 versus the Giants. Meanwhile, Bowles confirmed that Chris Godwin (ankle) will undergo surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, so quarterback Baker Mayfield will be without his top two targets for at least the next three games.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss next three games Evans (hamstring) isn't expected to be available for the Buccaneers until after the team's Week 11 bye, JC Allen of SI.com reports.

Impact Evans aggravated a right hamstring injury in the second quarter of Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens and was sent in for an MRI on Tuesday. The Buccaneers haven't yet provided an update on the results of Evans' imaging, but Allen's report suggests that the team isn't counting on the star wideout suiting up for any of their next three games. The timing of Evans' injury is especially tough for the Buccaneers with fellow wideout Chris Godwin having suffered a dislocated ankle late in Monday's contest that will likely require season-ending surgery. Assuming Evans and Godwin are both sidelined beginning with this Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer and Sterling Shepard could all be primed to see extended snaps. The injuries to Evans and Godwin could also motivate the Buccaneers to trade for another receiver in advance of the Nov. 5 deadline.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

MRI coming Tuesday Evans (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Evans was nursing a right hamstring injury heading into Monday's game, but he returned to practice Saturday and avoided a designation for the Week 7 contest. After catching a 25-yard touchdown early in the first quarter, Evans dropped another potential scoring strike from Baker Mayfield midway through the second quarter, aggravating the hamstring injury in the process. He was ruled out for the night soon after, and the MRI on Tuesday should help clarify the extent of the setback while providing an early indication of whether he'll be able to play this Sunday against the Falcons. The Buccaneers could be without both of their top two receivers in Week 8, as Chris Godwin suffered a dislocated ankle late in Monday's loss that will likely require season-ending surgery. Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer and Sterling Shepard are the next men up at receiver for Tampa Bay and could all be in store for enhanced roles against Atlanta even if Evans is cleared to play.
