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.

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.

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.

Will not return Evans (hamstring) will not return to Monday's matchup with the Ravens, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Evans failed to convert his second touchdown of the evening and actually aggravated his right hamstring injury in the process. In his absence, Jalen McMillan will likely fill in opposite Chris Godwin, while Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer should also see increased opportunities.

Exits to locker room Evans appears to have aggravated his right hamstring in Monday's matchup with the Ravens, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Evans failed to bring in his second touchdown of the night and came up holding his previously injured right hamstring. He subsequently left with trainers to the locker room. It remains to be seen if the star pass catcher will be able to return. While he is sidelined, Jalen McMillan figures to be the prime beneficiary, while Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer could also see some extra snaps.

No injury designation for Monday Evans (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's matchup against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact There was mummering that Evans could end up being a game-time decision for Monday's primetime contest, but the veteran is arguably one of the most durable players in the league and will play through the injury. Evans and company could be poised for an aerial assault given the Ravens allow the fewest rushing yards to opposing teams.

Practicing Saturday Evans was spotted participating in practice Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The Buccaneers will announce Evans' official injury status later in the afternoon Saturday, but the report indicates this is certainly a positive sign for the veteran's status entering Monday's clash against the Ravens. Expect a more detailed update to arrive in the coming hours.

Limited to side work Friday Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, but he worked with a trainer on a side field, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact It isn't clear if Evans did any running, as the video clip with the trainer only shows him stretching. Coach Todd Bowles revealed Thursday that Evans has a lingering lower-body injury, which probably explains why his snap share dropped to 54 percent and his route share to 68 percent in a 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. Back-to-back absences from practice have him looking uncertain for Monday's game against Baltimore -- a team that's given up big-time production to perimeter receivers this season.

Tending to hamstring issue Evans officially didn't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.
Impact Evans was in and out of this past Sunday's 51-27 win at New Orleans, but no health concern was reported during or after the contest. Coach Todd Bowles told Greg Auman of Fox Sports earlier Thursday that Evans wasn't going to practice due to a lingering leg injury, which since has been clarified as a hamstring issue. Bowles also noted Evans is expected to practice Friday and/or Saturday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. How Evans fares in those sessions like will determine if the Buccaneers tag him with a designation ahead of Monday's game versus the Ravens.

Misses practice with leg injury Evans was held out of Thursday's practice with a nagging leg injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles suggested Thursday that Evans aggravated a prior injury during Sunday's 51-27 win over the Saints, which may explain why the wideout played only 44 percent of snaps after halftime. He wasn't on the injury report last week, but back in Week 5 the Bucs listed him with knee and calf injuries (which didn't stop Evans from scoring two TDs against Atlanta). Bowles said Evans is already making progress and should return to practice before Monday's game against the Ravens, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Another tough day vs. Saints Evans brought in two of six targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Impact As has often been par for the course in his encounters with arch-nemesis Marshon Lattimore and the Saints, Evans finished the way with lackluster numbers. The veteran wideout also appeared to suffer an injury during the second quarter and even headed to the locker room, per Spencer Urquhart of NOLA.com, but he eventually returned to the game. Evans will aim to bounce back from his second-lowest receiving yardage total of the season when the Buccaneers tangle with the Ravens in a Week 7 home showdown on Monday night, Oct. 21.

Pair of TD grabs in OT loss Evans secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact Evans hit pay dirt from two and 23 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, his fourth and fifth touchdowns of the season. However, the veteran wideout posted just three receptions for 37 yards as far as his non-scoring catches, although he had a key recovery of a Chris Godwin fumble just past the midway point of the third quarter following a 20-yard reception, keeping the ball for the Buccaneers on a drive that culminated in a field goal. Evans will head into a Week 6 road matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13 still in search of his first 100-yard game of the campaign.

Set for TNF Evans (knee/calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Atlanta, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Evans was a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to knee and calf injuries, but he followed it up with a limited walkthrough Tuesday and capped session Wednesday, thereby paving the way for him to suit up Week 5. He's coming off his most-productive outing of the season this past Sunday against the Eagles in which he hauled in eight of 14 targets for 94 yards and one touchdown.
