The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have looked impressive throughout the season and one of the team’s best players has been hampered with an injury. It was reported that wide receiver Mike Evans was entering Week 8 with a hamstring injury but was able to play in tonight’s Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens.
During the second quarter, Mike Evans seemingly reaggravated his hamstring injury and was able to walk to the locker room.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would quickly announce that Mike Evans would be downgraded to out for the remainder of the game. This game was historic as Mike Evans caught his 100th career touchdown reception during the first drive, the 11th player in NFL history to do so.
It will be interesting to see how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense plays without Mike Evans for the remainder of this matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. as wide receiver injuries continue to pile up.
Can the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat the Baltimore Ravens without Mike Evans?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to have a difficult time defeating one of the best teams in the NFL without their best offensive weapon. Quarterback Baker Mayfield struggled t end the first half without Evans on the field so th halftime break may allow them to game plan where the ball can wind up to secure a home win.
