Overview
- Both receivers were activated Wednesday and are listed as questionable, making them eligible for Thursday night’s game against Atlanta.
- Todd Bowles said Evans has shown everything needed in practice and noted both wideouts looked fresh running routes.
- Tampa Bay waived defensive lineman C.J. Brewer and wide receiver Ryan Miller to create 53-man roster spots for the activations.
- All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs is expected to return, while LB SirVocea Dennis is out and S Tykee Smith and TE Cade Otton are doubtful, with S Rashad Wisdom also out.
- The timing affects the NFC South race with the Bucs at 7-6 tied with Carolina, and Evans’ extended absence means his streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons will end.
