Evans caught five of seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 25-23 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Evans continued his touchdown tear, making an excellent grab from eight yards out to give Tampa Bay the lead to start the fourth quarter. The wideout has now scored seven times this season, flexing his muscle when in the red zone and putting him on pace for a new career high in the category. Although Evans' yardage totals haven't reached those of prior years with the same consistency, he remains a weekly threat due to his regular involvement and scoring punch. Whether or not teammate Chris Godwin (finger) returns and/or Antonio Brown enters the fold in Week 9 versus the Saints, Evans should be a strong play in that NFC South primetime showdown.

Evans could be set for a resurgent Week 8 performance Monday night against the Giants with Chris Godwin (finger) ruled out for the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Jenna Laine of ESPN.com confirms Godwin fractured his index finger on his fourth-quarter touchdown reception in Sunday's win over the Raiders and will be forced to miss Week 8 at minimum. Evans has logged just four targets combined over the last pair of contests as he struggles to overcome a lingering ankle injury, but the combination of Godwin's absence and the extra day to heal up ahead of the Week 8 contest should leave him poised for a boost in opportunity and production. In the three games Godwin has already missed this season due to a concussion and a hamstring injury, Evans has notably eclipsed 100 yards receiving in two of them and logged a combined 27 targets overall.

Evans secured both of his targets for 37 yards in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

By the end of the practice week, Evans had shed the injury designation he'd been carrying due to an ankle issue, but he isn't 100 percent by all accounts and continued to struggle getting open in Sunday's victory. Evans' target count lagged significantly behind that of fellow wideouts Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller, who logged nine looks apiece. The multi-time Pro Bowler has a combined 3-47 line over the past two games on four total targets, and he's also interspersed a pair of two-yard tallies among a couple of 100-yard efforts thus far this season. The impending arrival of Antonio Brown (suspension), who's slated to make his debut Week 9, now looms large over the fantasy fortunes of other members of the Buccaneers pass-catching corps. With Evans already trending in the wrong direction, he'll be a player to particularly monitor in a Week 8 Monday night battle against the Giants.

Evans (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Evans even closed out the week as a full practice participant for the first time since Oct. 2. He's seen only 10 targets in the three games where both he and Chris Godwin have been active, but the Bucs shouldn't have too much trouble finding a way to keep both wide receivers regularly involved. The 6-foot-5 Evans has been living off touchdowns this year, scoring on six of his 23 receptions.

Evans (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Both Evans and Chris Godwin (hamstring) have now had their reps capped in consecutive practices to begin Week 7, but head coach Bruce Arians hasn't suggested that either receiver is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Raiders. After scoring at least one touchdown in each of the Buccaneers' first five games, Evans' streak came to an end in last week's 38-10 win over the Packers while Arians leaned on a run-heavy attack in the blowout. He finished the day with just two targets across his 51 offensive snaps, managing one 10-yard reception.

Evans (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Evans followed a DNP/LP/LP practice breakdown last week, so kicking off Week 7 preparations with a limited session indicates he's further removed from the right ankle sprain that he picked up Week 4. Still, his status will be watched closely to ensure he's available for Sunday's visit to Las Vegas.

Evans caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

The two targets were a season low for Evans, and it's the first time all year he hasn't been able to haul in a TD -- although it is the third time in six games he's been held to 10 yards or fewer. The game script did him no favors, as the Bucs' defense dominated the action, but it was still worrisome that all three of those low yardage totals have come in the three games Chris Godwin was healthy enough to play in. Tom Brady will get another chance to make both his star receivers productive at the same time in Week 7's road clash with the Raiders.

Evans (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he never made it back to full practice participation, Evans doesn't have an injury designation for Week 6. He'll have a bit of added target competition this Sunday, with Chris Godwin cleared to play for the first time since Week 3.

Evans (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After the session, Evans told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that he's "definitely feeling better" after last Thursday's loss at Chicago. "Still some soreness, but nothing I can't play through." Evans' ability to get on the field bodes well for his upcoming availability, and he may have Chris Godwin (hamstring) at his side after his teammate logged a second consecutive limited session Thursday. Meanwhile, Scotty Miller (hip/groin) also had LP next to his name, and Justin Watson (chest) continued to practice in full.

Evans (ankle) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tampa Bay listed Evans as a non-participant in their first practice of the week Wednesday, but the wideout looks like he'll have a good chance to at least put in a limited workout Thursday. The Buccaneers will reveal how extensively Evans was involved in the session when the team releases its second Week 6 practice report later Thursday. Evans' health situation appears to be the most unsettled among the Buccaneers' banged-up pass catchers, as Chris Godwin (hamstring), Scotty Miller (hip/groin) and Rob Gronkowski (shoulder) were all at least limited participants in Wednesday's practice, while Justin Watson (chest) practiced fully after sitting out the Week 5 loss to the Bears.
