According to Ian Rapoport, Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is having surgery today to repair his broken collarbone and should be back in eight weeks or fewer. 

While that will sideline Evans for most of the remainder of this season and end his streak of 1,000-yard seasons, it should mean Evans is back for the stretch run and playoffs. 

Evans, 32, is a former first-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $14.631 million, and set to make a base salary of $690,000 for the 2017 season when he agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million extension that includes $55 million guaranteed in 2018. 

Evans made a base salary of $13 million in the final year of his deal and was set to become an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to a two-year extension worth $52 million in 2024. 

He is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. 

In 2025, Evans has appeared in four games for the Buccaneers and recorded 14 catches on 32 targets for 140 yards and one touchdown.

We will have more news on Evans as it becomes available.
