The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are keeping a close eye on star wide receiver Mike Evans, who once again sat out of practice today ahead of Monday night’s huge showdown with the Detroit Lions.
Before you panic, though — his injury status remains unchanged. The Bucs still list him as questionable for Week 7, and according to reports out of Tampa, there’s no immediate setback in his recovery. It’s just about giving their top playmaker extra rest before the primetime battle.
Evans has been nursing a lingering hamstring issue, one that’s had Bucs fans holding their breath since last week. Despite that, insiders say the team is still optimistic he’ll suit up against Detroit — especially for a matchup that could shape the NFC playoff picture down the line.
For the Lions, this storyline looms large. Facing a Tampa Bay offense without Evans would dramatically shift the tone of the game, making life easier for a Detroit secondary already fighting through injuries of its own.
So, will he play? Nothing’s official yet — but one thing’s certain: the Bucs need their big man if they want any shot at silencing the Lions on Monday night.
