Overview
- Todd Bowles confirmed after the Week 7 loss in Detroit that Evans suffered a broken clavicle and will be out "mostly toward the end of the year."
- Evans also sustained a concussion on the play and was carted off after a diving deep-ball attempt contested by Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin.
- Multiple reports cite a six-to-eight week recovery outlook, with an injured reserve designation expected though not yet announced.
- The injury likely ends Evans’ run of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons tied with Jerry Rice, as he has 140 receiving yards through four games in 2025.
- Tampa Bay, now 5-2, will lean on Egbuka, Johnson and Shepard while awaiting Chris Godwin’s status, with teammates expecting Evans to stay involved as a mentor.
