Mike Evans Injury: Bruce Arians Gives Much-Anticipated Update On Bucs Star

Sunday’s game largely was inconsequential for the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

So when Mike Evans got hurt, the only thought was about his status for next week — not if he’d return to his team’s Week 17 game.

Tampa’s star wideout left during the Bucs’ eventual win over the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. But after waiting with bated breath through the rest of the game for an update on Evans, Tampa fans received a largely encouraging one from head coach Bruce Arians.

The Bucs finished Tom Brady’s first regular season in Tampa with an 11-5 record. Having Evans available will be huge for the team’s playoff hopes.
