Mike Evans Injury Report: Worrying News For Buccaneers Fans Ahead of Jets Fixture

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been listed as questionable ahead of the New York Jets fixture. The receiver has been suffering from a hamstring injury ever since his clash against the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old has already missed his Panthers matchup on Week 16 and might play in a limited capacity against the Jets, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.

Evans was one of the setbacks suffered by the Bucs during the Week 15 matchup against the Saints. The ones who went down with him were RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and WR Chris Godwin (ACL tear). Although, Evans was expected to be back by the Jets game. However, he is now listed as “questionable” in the Bucs injury report.

The hamstring injury suffered by the receiver has already cost him a week’s action. During that week, Antonio Brown and Cyril Grayson replaced Evans and Godwin. Now, the same might happen against the Jets. Brown, who got activated on the Bucs roster after being back from a three-game suspension, saw immediate action against the Panthers and is expected to play against the Jets in full capacity.

The Week 15 game against the Saints proved to be fatal for the Bucs as during that game, more than 60% of the Bucs scoring offense got sidelined. And the star wide receiver Chris Godwin picked up a season-ending ACL injury, which led to a crisis in the receiving position.

Evans had limited participation during the practice on Friday since he was listed on the COVID list on Monday through Thursday. Although he sat out most of his days in practice last week, subsequently missing on the Panthers’ action. But he is expected to be back against the Jets, though not with full participation. His presence will be an added advantage to the superstar quarterback Tom Brady.
