Buccaneers' Mike Evans Breaks Clavicle in Loss to Lions, Expected to Miss Most of Season

The setback puts his streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in jeopardy.

Overview

  • Todd Bowles said Evans sustained a broken clavicle and will be out mostly through the end of the year.
  • Evans left on a cart in the second quarter after being ruled out with a concussion following a deep pass attempt where he was tackled by Rock Ya-Sin, landed on his right shoulder, and his head appeared to hit the turf.
  • The veteran had just returned from a Week 3 hamstring strain after three missed games and finished without a catch on four targets.
  • Tampa Bay lost 24-9 at Detroit to fall to 5-2, with the offense turning the ball over on downs on its final three possessions.
  • With Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan already out, Baker Mayfield said Evans will remain involved to mentor younger receivers such as Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson heading into Sunday’s visit to the 1-6 Saints.
