The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are keeping their fingers crossed when it comes to wide receiver Mike Evans' Week 1 availability. While it seemed as though Evans was just being cautious with his hamstring injury, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reported that he sat out of practice Tuesday.

When asked about when it was time to hit the panic button on Evans' injury, Auman explained the typical process for practicing before games.

.@Elbarc11 No practice Tuesday. If he's still out Wednesday, it's real concern. Out Thursday, you generally aren't playing Sunday.

There's no reason to get overly worried just yet, but just as Auman explained, if we don't see Evans out on the practice field tomorrow, then there's cause for concern.
