The storyline to follow with Mike Evans coming into the year was his pursuit of 100 receiving touchdowns, but we haven’t seen him since achieving it. The Bucs were able to help him get that achievement back in Week 7 on Monday Night Football, in that same game we saw him leave due to aggravating a hamstring injury.
On Wednesday, Evans was listed on the injury report as being limited in practice and we saw through the lens of Rick Stroud that he was working with trainers.
The team targeted a return for the future Hall of Fame wide receiver after their Week 11 bye. Whether he can return this week or not is yet to be seen. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, and the fact that they were an issue prior to the significant injury occurring in Week 7 means the team won’t take any chances.
One thing is for sure, though, the team winning will help his chances of returning. If the team is losing, they will take their time with his return; regardless, it will be a situation worth monitoring as the weeks go on.
