Good to go Evans (knee/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Evans didn't practice Friday, but the addition of 'rest' to his injury explanation suggests his absence was a matter of caution. Chris Godwin (neck) also avoided an injury designation, while No. 3 receiver Jalen McMillan is listed as doubtful after injuring his hamstring during Friday's practice.

Remains limited Thursday Evans (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact The same goes for position mate Chris Godwin (neck), with both players operating with a cap on their practice reps so far during Week 4 prep. Friday's injury report thus will be key for both players' statuses heading into the weekend as the Buccaneers gear up for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.

As Tom Brady returns to Tampa, Mike Evans remembers their special connection

Tom Brady and Mike Evans won a Super Bowl together as Bucs, but that's only part of the story of their bond as teammates and friends.

Dealing with knee issue Evans was limited at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Both Evans and Chris Godwin (neck) opened Week 4 prep with the same amount of on-field work, placing a cloud over the statuses of Tampa Bay's top two wide receivers. The pair will have two chances to get back to all activity this week before the team potentially tags them with designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Mike Evans Reflects On Broncos Loss Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans has reflected on the 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos.

SEPTEMBER 24 • THENEWSTRIBUNE.COM

Stymied by Broncos in loss Evans brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Evans' final line tells the tale of how difficult an afternoon it was for the Buccaneers' offense as a whole, particularly the air attack. With Baker Mayfield taking seven sacks and averaging only 4.9 yards per attempt, Evans' numbers unsurprisingly took a hit. The star wideout's reception, receiving yardage and target numbers were all season lows, giving him plenty of room for improvement in a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles.

Mike Evans On Bucs Being Undefeated - 'The Start We Wanted!' The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gotten off to a fast start in 2024, and for receiver Mike Evans, everything is going to plan so far.

SEPTEMBER 20 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Modest showing in Week 2 win Evans caught three of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.

Impact Evans had just one catch for 16 yards on two first-half targets, as eight of Baker Mayfield's 12 passes before halftime were directed to Chris Godwin. Evans was actually Tampa Bay's leading receiver after halftime but that production didn't amount to much, as the veteran wide receiver cooled off after a two-touchdown Week 1 performance. He has just 103 receiving yards heading into a Week 3 date with a Broncos secondary led by star cornerback Patrick Surtain.

'You Better Double Him!' Baker Warns About Mike Evans The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the most dominant wide receivers in the entire NFL.

SEPTEMBER 12 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Scores twice in lopsided win Evans caught five of six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-20 win over Washington.

Impact Evans finished third in receiving yards for the Buccaneers while finishing with the most fantasy points after scoring twice in the win. The superstar wideout is fresh off of a contract extension and looks to be in sync with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield to kick things off this fantasy campaign. Evans will face a stiffer test in terms of defensive backs when the Bucs face the Lions next Sunday, but the WR1 should always crack starting fantasy lineups so long as he is 100 percent healthy.

Will be rested Friday Evans isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Dolphins, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Per Smith, coach Todd Bowles told the Buccaneers Radio Network that neither Evans nor LB Lavonte David will face Miami in the team's final exhibition contest. However, the duo's absence is not injury-related, rather it's a case of them getting the night off, like a 'veteran' day in practice. Evans' next game action will thus occur when he lines up in Tampa Bay's starting lineup against the Commander on Sept. 8.

Reignites connection with Mayfield Evans' chemistry with Baker Mayfield has been evident early in Buccaneers training camp, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Evans displayed plenty of rapport with Mayfield right out of the gate in their first year playing together in 2023, posting a 17-297 line while also recording a touchdown apiece in the Buccaneers' first three regular-season games. The veteran wideout, who re-signed with Tampa Bay this offseason, wasted no time flashing the same chemistry with Mayfield early in training camp with several impressive catches over the first trio of practices, and he's in line to once again serve as no less than a co-No. 1 receiver alongside Chris Godwin in 2024.
