Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has had an incredible career in the NFL. Now in his 12th year in the league, all of which have come with Tampa Bay, Evans has caught 850 passes for 12,824 yards and 106 touchdowns. He has had over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 11 seasons while making six Pro Bowl appearances.

So far in the 2025 season, Evans has played in just four games due to injury, as he has 14 receptions for 140 yards and one score.

Evans hasn't played since Oct. 20 against the Detroit Lions, when he suffered a collarbone injury.

Evans played the first three games of the season for the Buccaneers before he missed the next three due to a hamstring injury. Then, against the Lions, as he attempted to catch a pass, he went down with an injury.

He was assessed with a broken clavicle, keeping him out since then. Last week, before Tampa Bay played the New Orleans Saints, there was a possibility Evans would return, but he was listed out before the game.

On Wednesday, ahead of the Buccaneers' matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, Tampa Bay provided an update on his health, as he was officially listed as questionable in the team's final injury report, per Fox's Greg Auman.

Evans, along with fellow wide receiver Jalen McMillan, was listed as questionable, as Chris Godwin Jr. did not have a game status listed while he was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

The Buccaneers and Lions will kick off on Thursday night at 8:15 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium on Prime Video.
