Mike Evans suffers scary injury during Buccaneers-Lions game

It didn't take long for the team to rule him out for the remainder of the game, citing a concussion and shoulder injury.

It's an extremely unfortunate development for Evans, who was making his return from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the team's previous four games. It's impossible to speculate without knowing the severity of these injuries, but based on his reaction on the field and after, Evans could very well be in line to miss some time.

Evans' receiving record in serious jeapardy

To add even more insult to injury, Evans' chances at extending his NFL record 11 consecutive 1,000 yard receiving seasons is now in serious jeopardy. Currently tied with Jerry Rice, it appears as though Evans will have an uphill battle to surpass the legendary receiver, depending how long he is out for.

For the Buccaneers, the loss of Mike Evans is quite simply catastrophic. Although the team has managed to hold the fort down in his absence, there's no denying the impact that Evans has when he's in the lineup. Whether he's catching TDs in the red zone, toe-tapping along the sideline or just drawing defenders away from his teammates, Mike Evans is an integral piece of this offense.
