During Monday night\u2019s loss to the Detroit Lions, the veteran wide receiver for the Tampa\u202fBay\u202fBuccaneers exited the game after suffering a serious injury. According to reports, Evans was carted off the field in the second quarter after his head and shoulder collided with the turf while attempting a deep catch from quarterback Baker\u202fMayfield. He was diagnosed with both a concussion and a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After further evaluation, the injury was upgraded to a broken collarbone, with head coach Todd\u202fBowles indicating that Evans will miss a significant portion of the season. The absence comes at a difficult time as Evans had just returned from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for three games. His streak of 11 consecutive seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards \u2014 tied with NFL legend Jerry\u202fRice \u2014 now faces serious jeopardy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
