Buccaneers' Mike Evans, Bucky Irving Miss Wednesday Practice to Open Week 6
Tampa Bay is managing Evans’ hamstring conservatively, with Irving expected to sit at least two weeks.
Overview
- Neither Evans nor Irving was seen at Wednesday’s session, and both were expected to be listed as non-participants on the initial report.
- Todd Bowles said Evans is “coming along” and “healing,” offering no timetable for the wideout’s return after two missed games.
- Rick Stroud reported Irving’s foot and shoulder injuries are projected to sideline the running back for at least two weeks.
- The Buccaneers scored 38 points in their Week 5 win over the Seahawks without Evans and Irving, leaning on Baker Mayfield and rookie Emeka Egbuka.
- Wednesday’s report listed Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison as DNPs, with Lavonte David, Jamel Dean, Christian Izien and Tristan Wirfs limited.
