Evans (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Evans followed the same pattern as last week, returning to practice Friday as a limited participant after missing the prior two sessions. His lack of reps seems to be a matter of maintenance rather than inspired by genuine concern about his game availability, considering he took 85 percent of snaps on offense in last week's 28-13 win over the Raiders. Evans should again be busy Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.

Evans (hamstring) returned to practice Friday morning, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans had the same routine last week, sitting out Wednesday and Thursday before participating Friday. He then avoided a designation on the final injury report and handled his normal workload in a 28-13 win over the Raiders, catching four of five targets for 69 yards while playing 85 percent of snaps on offense. It remains to be seen if he follows the same pattern this week for a road game against the Chargers.

Evans (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans didn't take any reps during Wednesday's walk-through session and looks set to be listed as a non-participant on the Buccaneers' second straight practice report. While the lack of activity at this stage of the week is normally a worrisome sign for a player's chances of playing Sunday, Evans started Week 14 prep in a similar fashion before suiting up for Tampa Bay's 28-13 win over Las Vegas and finishing with four catches for 69 yards on five targets while playing 85 percent of the offensive snaps. If he continues to mirror his participation from last week, Evans will be limited in Friday's session, which could be enough for him to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Evans (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans continues to be bothered by a hamstring issue that sidelined him Weeks 8-10, but he's been able to play through it over the last three contests, accounting for 17 catches (on 23 targets) for 255 yards and one touchdown. He's clearly the centerpiece of the Buccaneers' passing game when he's available, but his status now will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday at the Chargers.

Evans secured four of five targets for 69 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans tied Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards. The veteran wideout got a big chunk of his production on a 32-yard grab, which was the second longest of the game for the Buccaneers. Evans has eclipsed 60 receiving yards in three straight games heading into a Week 15 road battle against the Chargers.

Evans (hamstring/calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was a limited practice participant Friday after sitting out the previous two days. It seems his absences were a matter of maintenance rather than reflecting genuine concern about his Week 14 availability. Evans put up an 8-112-1 receiving line against Carolina last week in his second game back from a hamstring injury.

Evans (hamstring/calf) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
His participation after back-to-back absences suggests Evans has a decent chance to play this Sunday against the Raiders. He may have a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

Evans (hamstring/calf) officially didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans thus has just one more chance to mix into drills during Week 14 prep as he deals with dueling health concerns. The 11th-year pro doesn't necessarily require practice reps in order to be ready for game day, but his listing on Friday's injury report will be of interest in advance of Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

Evans (hamstring/calf) wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Evans was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice, his continued absence Thursday perhaps suggests that he wasn't merely getting a maintenance day to begin Week 14 prep. Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles could shed more light on Evans' condition later Thursday, but for now, the star wideout's status bears close attention as Sunday's game against the Raiders approaches. Evans will have one more opportunity Friday to potentially fit in some practice activity before the weekend.

Evans didn't practice Wednesday due to hamstring and calf injuries.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was sidelined Weeks 8 through 10 due to a strained right hamstring, so he may have sit out Wednesday's session in part due to maintenance purposes for that prior injury. In any case, with Evans being listed with a pair of lower-body issues, his status will be watched as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger off missing another contest Sunday versus Las Vegas.
