Bucs WR Mike Evans hurt his right hamstring in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Saints and is officially doubtful to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Evans has been ruled out for the game.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Bruce Arians said afterward that Brown "probably" won't play vs. the Falcons this weekend. It's disappointing news after Arians said last week that he was "hopeful" to get Brown back for this one. Brown should stay stashed on fantasy benches as we continue to monitor his rehab. His absence is good news for Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (back) isn't listed on the final injury report. He sat out on Wednesday and Thursday with what HC Bruce Arians called "back tightness" but put in a full practice on Friday. Evans is safe to get into fantasy lineups for Sunday's plus matchup vs. the Colts' 26th-ranked WR defense.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (back) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He's reportedly dealing with back tightness, leaving his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Colts in limbo. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Bucs WR Mike Evans missed Wednesday's practice with what HC Bruce Arians called back tightness. This will be a situation to monitor leading into Sunday's game vs. the Colts. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. HC Bruce Arians suggested earlier this week that Brown isn't a lock to be ready after the Week 9 bye. His absence is good news for WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Tyler Johnson will operate as the #3 WR but would be a fantasy flier.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. The Athletic's Greg Auman spotted Brown with a crutch. That certainly doesn't sound like a guy in line to play vs. the Saints this weekend -- especially with Tampa getting a Week 9 bye. With Brown out last week, WR Chris Godwin saw 11 targets and WR Mike Evans 10.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. We still don't have any details on Brown's injury, but the fact that he didn't practice at all this week makes him seem iffy for Week 8. It's worth noting that Tampa Bay has a Week 9 bye. Brown's absence on Sunday should elevate WR Tyler Johnson to the #3 spot on the depth chart. He's still just a DFS tournament flier. WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin should soak up extra targets with Brown out.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He appears to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Bears. Brown's absence would move WR Tyler Johnson up into the #3 spot on the depth chart -- and mean more targets for WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown remains on the COVID list as of Friday night and is expected to miss Sunday's game vs. the Rams, according to insider Greg Auman. When Brown missed last year's NFC Championship, WRs Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson basically split #3 WR duties. Neither guy can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski could all pick up extra targets with Brown out.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (knee) is active for tonight's game against Washington. We know he'll be somewhere short of 100%, though. Just how far short remains to be seen during the game. Evans makes for a risky fantasy play.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Buccaneers WR Mike Evans plans to "try everything he possibly can" to play in Saturday night's game against Washington. It's good that he sounds like he'll be able to play through the Week 17 knee injury, but it also sounds like Evans will be a risky fantasy play this weekend. We'll see about his official game status Saturday evening.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. Washington. He returned to a limited practice and will be a game-time decision, HC Bruce Arians said. We'll get Evans' game status by 7 pm ET on Saturday.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (knee) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. His injury reportedly isn't serious, and he could play in this weekend's game vs. Washington without practicing. But his availabilty for that one remains uncertain. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that there's "optimism" Bucs WR Mike Evans (knee) will be able to play vs. Washington on Saturday night. He was officially listed as "did not practice" on Tuesday but was reportedly out on the field for the walkthrough. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his status over the next few days.

The MRI on Bucs WR Mike Evans' knee revealed no ligament damage, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. Evans has been diagnosed with a hyperextended knee, and the team is "optimistic" that he'll be ready for the Wild Card Round. We'll keep a close eye on his status this coming week.

Bucs HC Bruce Arians said after Sunday's win over the Falcons that he doesn't believe WR Mike Evans' knee injury is "too serious." He added that he'll know more within the next 24 hours. We should have a better idea of Evans' status for the start of the playoffs by Monday night.

Bucs WR Mike Evans injured his left knee in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game against the Falcons. It bent inwards as he went to stop to make a catch. We'll pass along an update when we get one.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians confirmed on Sirius XM NFL Radio Wednesday that he'll be "playing everybody" and "playing to win" in Sunday's game against the Falcons. He said they want to get to 11-5 and take the 5th seed rather than drop to the 6th with a loss. It's nice to hear such confirmation if you're planning to play Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Mike Evans or any other Buc in Week 17 fantasy.

After being limited on Wednesday, Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. It's unclear if he hurt his hamstring on Wednesday or just got today off. We'll know more tomorrow. Evans' absence vs. the Vikings this weekend would free up targets for Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski.
