Sun Nov 24 03:40:00 UTC 2024: **Buccaneers’ Mike Evans Set to Return Against Giants Despite Hamstring Injury**
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is expected to play in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, coach Todd Bowles announced Friday. Evans, the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, has been sidelined for three games due to a hamstring strain suffered in Week 7. While he expressed confidence in his recovery and said he feels better than before the injury, Bowles indicated that Evans’ playing time may be managed depending on the game situation. The Buccaneers, currently on a four-game losing streak, desperately need Evans’ production to bolster their playoff hopes. His return provides a much-needed boost to a receiving corps that has been significantly depleted by injuries. Despite a history of non-contact injuries on the MetLife Stadium field, Evans stated he has no concerns. Evans, aiming to continue his streak of 1,000-yard seasons and potentially tie Jerry Rice’s record, emphasized his focus on winning and contributing to the team’s success.
