Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that the Buccaneers have no plans to place Evans (hamstring) on injured reserve, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The results of the MRI that Evans underwent earlier this week haven't been disclosed, but Arians confirmed Wednesday that the star wideout is dealing with a hamstring strain. Though prior reports indicated that Evans' injury would sideline him for the remainder of 2019, the Buccaneers are holding out hope that the 26-year-old can progress quickly and return to the lineup for the final two games of the season. In any case, Evans looks likely to miss at least Sunday's game against the Lions, leaving Chris Godwin as the clear No. 1 option in Tampa Bay's aerial attack. Meanwhile, depth wideouts Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Scott Miller (hamstring) could all play expanded roles while Evans is out.
