Overview

  • Both receivers practiced on a limited basis Saturday, and Todd Bowles said their status will be determined before kickoff in Detroit.
  • Bowles ruled out wideout Chris Godwin and running back Bucky Irving, with additional absences including Josh Williams and guard Luke Haggard.
  • Rookie Emeka Egbuka, who underwent an MRI this week, leads the team with 27 catches for 469 yards and five touchdowns through six games.
  • Mike Evans has missed three games since a Week 3 hamstring strain, and outside medical commentary has flagged an elevated re-injury risk for him.
  • With the Monday slot providing an extra recovery day, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that if either player sits, each is expected to have a chance to play in Week 8 at New Orleans.
