Mike Evans is back! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ wide receiver looks set to return to action for Week 15’s Thursday Night Football game against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Todd Bowles announced that Evans has met all the necessary requirements to play, having shown impressive progress in practice this week.

“Bowles said Mike Evans has shown everything he needed to show in practice to get activated and make his return Thursday vs. Falcons.”

Mike Evans has been out since Week 7 after breaking his clavicle in a 24-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. Initially, it was thought he’d be sidelined for most of the season, but he’s on track to return less than two months later, which would be a huge boost to the Buccaneers’ offense.
