Buccaneers' Mike Evans Expected to Return for Week 12 Matchup Against Giants

The veteran wide receiver has missed three games with a hamstring injury, threatening his pursuit of an 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season.

Mike Evans is set to return for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Week 12 game against the New York Giants after recovering from a Week 7 hamstring injury.
The Buccaneers have struggled offensively in Evans' absence, dropping to 4-6 and trailing the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons by two games.
Evans needs 665 receiving yards over the final seven games to extend his streak of 1,000-yard seasons to 11, tying an all-time record held by Jerry Rice.
The team will rely on Evans to fill the void left by Chris Godwin, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the same Week 7 game.
Tampa Bay faces a Giants defense ranked fourth in passing yards allowed, making Evans' return critical for revitalizing the Bucs' offense and playoff hopes.
