Loses volume against Seattle Evans recorded five receptions on six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks.
Impact Evans appeared to be in line for a relatively strong game, having racked up four catches for 49 yards by halftime. However, he was targeted only twice in the final two quarters to post his second consecutive effort of less than 60 receiving yards and without a score. While at least in part dictated by game script, Tom Brady took to the air only 29 times -- his second-lowest mark of the season -- and if that continues, Evans could continue to lose out on targets moving forward.

Ready to play in Munich Evans (ribs/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich.
Impact Even though Evans' practice reps were limited throughout the week, neither of his injuries were deemed significant enough to prevent him from taking the field in Germany. Evans hasn't found the end zone since Week 4, but he's seen a steady stream of volume in the passing game over the Buccaneers' subsequent five games. During that stretch, he's averaging 5.6 receptions for 76.4 yards on 9.8 targets per contest.

Stays limited Thursday Evans (ribs/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Impact Evans maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he deals with a pair of injuries. The Buccaneers will travel to Munich on Thursday evening ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, so Thursday's session may be his last on-field work of Week 10. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal whether Evans goes into the weekend with or without a designation.

Brady, Bucs eye momentum in Bavarian battle against Seahawks
Germany is ready to host its first NFL gameNOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tending to pair of injuries Evans was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to ribs and ankle injuries.
Impact Coming off his low-water mark for the season in receiving yards (40) this past Sunday against the Rams, Evans is being held back in the first session of Week 10 prep due to a pair of health concerns. Considering he was able to mix into drills Wednesday, he's a good bet either to get back to full activity Thursday and/or Friday or avoid a designation entirely ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks in Munich.

Struggles against Rams Evans caught five of 11 targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.
Impact For the third straight game and the fourth time this year, Evans saw double-digit targets, but he wound up setting a season low in receiving yards despite the volume. The veteran wideout has also gone five straight weeks without getting into the end zone, his longest drought since 2017, but he'll remain a high-ceiling fantasy option in a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

Cleared to play Evans (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Neither do Julio Jones or Chris Godwin, while Russell Gage (hamstring) was ruled out for a second straight week. The injuries at wide receiver this year have helped Evans see more volume (8.4 targets per game) than he did the past two years, but his TD scoring has taken a hit with the Tampa offense struggling overall.

Stays limited Thursday Evans (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Impact Evans maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to a full session and get rid of his designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. As for the rest of the Buccaneers' receiving corps, Julio Jones (knee) followed up a DNP to begin Week 9 prep with all activity Thursday, while Russell Gage (hamstring) has remained sidelined. Assuming Evans gains clearance to play this weekend, Tampa Bay will have its usual top three WRs available in Evans, Chris Godwin and Jones.

Limited in practice Wednesday Evans (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Evans continues to feel the aftereffects of hurting his ankle Week 7, but despite logging a pair of capped sessions ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Ravens last Thursday, he still earned a typical snap share (94 percent) and hauled in six of 11 targets for 123 yards. His practice limitations this week likely are precautionary, but his status nonetheless will be monitored to ensure he's able to play Sunday against the Rams.

Eclipses century mark in loss Evans secured six of 11 targets for 123 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Impact Evans co-led the Buccaneers in receptions and targets while comfortably setting the pace in receiving yardage during the narrow loss. His game-long 51-yard catch early in the fourth quarter also helped set up a Ryan Succop field goal, and the 100-yard effort was the multi-time Pro Bowler's second of the season overall. Evans also has 26 targets over the last two games alone, so he'll retain plenty of fantasy appeal despite a tough matchup against Jalen Ramsey and the Rams defense in a Week 9 showdown a week from Sunday.

Will be available in Week 8 Evans (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Impact Evans opened Week 8 prep with a DNP before logging back-to-back limited showings due to an ankle issue, which was enough to clear him for game action. The Buccaneers will be without Russell Gage (hamstring) at wide receiver Thursday, while Julio Jones (knee) will be a game-time call, but Evans and Chris Godwin nonetheless will serve as the top options at the position for quarterback Tom Brady.
