Buccaneers' Mike Evans Set to Return from Hamstring Injury Against Giants

The star wide receiver's return comes after a three-game absence as Tampa Bay looks to end a four-game losing streak.

Mike Evans, the Buccaneers' all-time leading scorer, is expected to play against the New York Giants after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in Week 7.
Evans missed three games, tying the longest absence of his 11-year career, during which Tampa Bay lost all four of their games and fell behind in the NFC South standings.
The injury interrupted Evans' pursuit of an 11th consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season, a feat that would tie Jerry Rice’s NFL record; he needs to average 95 yards per game over the final seven games to achieve it.
Tampa Bay remains without No. 2 receiver Chris Godwin, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury, but rookie Jalen McMillan has returned to full practice participation.
Coach Todd Bowles emphasized Evans’ health will be monitored closely during the game, while Evans expressed confidence in his recovery and readiness to contribute.
