Buccaneers' Mike Evans Exits With Hamstring Injury, Ruled Out vs. Jets

Coach Todd Bowles described the injury as a hamstring tweak pending further testing.

Overview

  • Evans pulled up in the fourth quarter against New York and was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 3 game.
  • Bowles offered an initial assessment of a hamstring tweak with imaging and evaluation still to come, and no timetable announced.
  • The star wideout has a documented history of hamstring problems, including missed games in 2019 and last season, which heightens concern.
  • Tampa Bay is already managing absences at receiver and along the offensive line, including Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan.
  • With Evans out, Tampa Bay leaned on Sterling Shepard and rookie Emeka Egbuka, positioning them for increased snaps while results are pending.
