Overview
- Tampa Bay moved both receivers off injured reserve and listed them as questionable for Thursday night, with final inactives due 90 minutes before kickoff.
- Coach Todd Bowles said Evans has shown everything needed in practice to return, and reporters caution his snap count could be managed after limited sessions.
- Evans has missed since a Week 7 broken collarbone and has 14 catches for 140 yards and one touchdown in four games, putting his 11-season 1,000-yard streak in jeopardy.
- McMillan was sidelined all year by a preseason neck injury that included fractured vertebrae, and a return would give Tampa Bay its full receiver group together for the first time this season.
- To create roster space the Bucs waived C.J. Brewer and Ryan Miller, with LB SirVocea Dennis and S Rashad Wisdom ruled out, S Tykee Smith and TE Cade Otton doubtful, and LT Tristan Wirfs ramping up to play.
