Mike Evans Set to Rejoin Practice This Week
Mike Evans, a key player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is expected to return to practice this week as he recovers from a collarbone injury. Coach Todd Bowles confirmed this development on Monday, indicating that while Evans may soon be back on the field, he is unlikely to participate in the Week 14 game against the New Orleans Saints.
Details on Evans’ Recovery
Mike Evans is currently on injured reserve but has the possibility of being reinstated for practice. However, Coach Bowles emphasized that both Evans and teammate Jalen McMillan, who is dealing with a neck injury, still have a significant recovery period ahead before they can return to game action.
Upcoming Games for the Buccaneers
- Week 14: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints
- Week 15: Buccaneers face a quick turnaround against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, December 11
While a return for Week 14 seems unlikely, a comeback in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers may be more feasible for Evans and McMillan. This timeline would allow both athletes to regain their strength and readiness for game play.
The Buccaneers are in need of their top players as they head into crucial matchups in the coming weeks. The return of Mike Evans to practice represents a positive step forward for the team.
