Evans (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans made an early exit from the Buccaneers' Week 3 win against the Jets with what eventually was termed a moderate hamstring strain. He's expected to be out multiple weeks as a result, and until he steps back on the practice field, he likely won't be a candidate for active status on game days. Friday's injury report may include an official declaration of Evans' availability for Sunday's game at Seattle after he sat out a Week 4 loss to the Eagles.

Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
He didn't practice this week and is expected to miss multiple games, but the Buccaneers waited until Friday to publicly rule out Evans for this Sunday's game. Fellow Tampa Bay wideout Chris Godwin (hamstring) is listed as questionable, potentially giving the team a quality replacement for Evans in the starting lineup, though Godwin's explosiveness and workload may both be somewhat limited initially.

Evans (hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans limped off the field in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's game against the Jets and was quickly ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Evans was expected to undergo an MRI, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the veteran wide receiver was in line to be sidelined for multiple weeks. Kicking off Week 4 prep with back-to-back DNPs implies that Evans is destined to be ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles, which the Buccaneers may do once they post their final practice report of the week Friday.

Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Reports suggest Evans will miss multiple games, but neither team nor player has actually said anything besides acknowledging his absence from Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin (ankle) was a full participant for the first time in 11 months, potentially setting up his 2025 debut Sunday against the Eagles.

Evans is expected to miss multiple weeks after injuring his hamstring in Sunday's win over the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans has been diagnosed with a moderate hamstring strain, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, and she reports Evans will be sidelined three-to-four weeks. Pelissero notes that Evans' latest hamstring injury isn't as severe as the one that cost him four weeks last season. With Evans looking likely to miss Week 4 against the Eagles, first-round rookie Emeka Egbuka figures to vault into the WR1 role for the Bucs. There's also a real chance Chris Godwin (ankle) makes his season debut against Philadelphia. Sterling Shepard should remain in the slot role for Tampa Bay. Tez Johnson and Ryan Miller are next up on the depth chart at wide receiver.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Evans (hamstring) is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was forced out of Sunday's win over the Jets due to a hamstring issue, and while Bowles said the team is optimistic that the star wideout has escaped with a low-grade injury, a full update on Evans' health won't arrive until after Tuesday's evaluation at the earliest. It remains to be seen whether Evans will be available to suit up Week 4 against the Eagles. On a positive note for Tampa Bay, Chris Godwin (ankle) appears to be nearing a return to the field, and the ascension of rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka provides some stability in the passing game.

Evans (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's contest versus the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Evans had a visible limp as he made his way to the sideline in the middle of the fourth quarter and was ruled out not long afterward. The Buccaneers are slated to get Chris Godwin (ankle) back in action in the near future, so if Evans' injury ends up being serious, reinforcements are on the way in the receiving corps.

Evans departed Sunday's contest against the Jets due to a hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Evans limped off the field in the middle of the fourth quarter and was considered questionable to return not long afterward. At the time he exited, he'd notched four catches (on eight targets) for 33 yards and one touchdown.

Evans secured five of 11 targets for 56 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Evans comfortably led the Buccaneers in targets and also set the pace in receiving yards, albeit by a smaller margin. The Texans did a good job overall disrupting the rhythm between Evans and Baker Mayfield, leading to Evans' second straight five-catch, sub-60-yard effort to open the season. The successful QB-WR duo will look to author their first breakout performance of 2025 when the Buccaneers host the Jets in a Week 3 matchup on Sunday afternoon.

Evans brought in five of eight targets for 51 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans recorded team-high catch and target totals while finishing second in receiving yards to rookie position mate Emeka Egbuka. However, it was the latter and Bucky Irving who ended up on the receiving end of Baker Mayfield's three touchdown passes, leaving Evans with a solid but relatively muted season-opening line. The perennial Pro Bowler could be due for an even bigger workload in a Week 2 road showdown against the Texans on Monday night, Sept. 15.
