Evans (calf) is practicing Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and sat out Thursday's session, so the extent of his participation Friday will be worth monitoring. Julio Jones (knee) also is practicing Friday, while Chris Godwin (hamstring) appears to be a DNP. An official designation for Evans' status Week 2 will be disclosed alongside Friday's injury report.

Evans (calf) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

After putting in a limited showing at Wednesday's session, Evans didn't take the field at all one day later due to a calf injury. All of Evans, Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) were DNPs on Thursday, while Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) were limited. Considering the thoroughly banged-up nature of the Buccaneers' receiving corps, the status of each member is worth watching as the weekend draws closer to get a sense of each one's potential to play Sunday at New Orleans.

Evans (calf) wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to Evans, Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) were also absent from practice, an indication that all three receivers will be listed as non-participants on Thursday's report. Godwin is already presumed to be unavailable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, but the statuses of Evans and Jones are murkier and could be determined by what either wideout is able to do in the team's final practice of the week Friday. On a positive note, Russell Gage -- who missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury -- was back on the field Thursday.

Evans was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury.

EDGE Analysis

While Chris Godwin's hamstring issue was already known as the Buccaneers navigate Week 2 prep, Evans joined him on the injury report with a health concern of his own. All of Godwin, Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, while Evans and Breshad Perriman (knee) were able to mix into individual drills. Due to all the injuries in the receiving corps, the status of Evans and company is worth watching as Sunday's game at New Orleans approaches.

Evans brought in five of seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 19-3 win over the Cowboys on Sunday night.

EDGE Analysis

Evans paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night and capped off his solid fantasy effort with an impressive diving, one-handed, five-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. The multi-time Pro Bowler projects for an expansive role once again this season, but he could see even more work than usual in a Week 2 road matchup against the Saints next Sunday if fellow wideout Chris Godwin, who exited in the second quarter with a hamstring issue, can't suit up.

Evans failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

The multi-time Pro Bowler was making his preseason debut alongside Tom Brady, but he couldn't come up with the only pass the latter sent his way during their one possession. Evans does seem to be completely past the hamstring issues that plagued him earlier in the summer, however, and he should play a pivotal role in the Week 1 Sunday night road showdown against the Cowboys on Sept. 11.

Evans (hamstring) was a full practice participant Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans seems to be back at full strength after missing two weeks of practice. He does have a history of hamstring injuries, but he's typically recovered well with rest and has missed only seven games total in eight seasons while topping 1,000 yards each year.

Evans (hamstring ) returned to practice Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though it's unclear if Evans will practice fully, the wideout's return to the field Monday solidifies the notion that he'll be good to go for Week 1 action. It remains to be seen, however, if Evans is a candidate to see snaps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts.

Evans (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans and Russell Gage (leg) suffered injuries in training camp, while Chris Godwin is in the late stages of an ACL rehab and Julio Jones is being rested. It's a nice opportunity for Tampa's depth receivers, though none will get much playing time during the regular season if the top four guys can manage to stay relatively healthy.

Coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday that Evans (hamstring) will not practice this week, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans and teammate Russell Gage (leg) will both refrain from participating in joint practices with the Titans this week. The Buccaneers' top priority will be to let Evans rest up and get healthy for Week 1, but with Chris Godwin (knee) also working his way back from an ACL injury, it's notable that the team remains without most of its top pass catchers in practice.
