Mike Evans Sidelined by Concussion and Shoulder Injury

Mike Evans faced a challenging return to the field on Sunday. The Buccaneers wide receiver was making his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3. Unfortunately, his comeback was cut short due to two injuries sustained during the game.

Injury Details

During the match, with just five minutes left in the first half, Evans attempted to catch a deep pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield. As he stretched for the ball, he fell, resulting in his shoulder and head hitting the ground forcefully. This collision caused Evans to briefly lose consciousness.

Impact on the Game

Following the incident, medical staff swiftly assisted Evans off the field. He was visibly shaken, appearing disoriented and in considerable pain. The Buccaneers promptly announced his exclusion from the game due to a concussion and a right shoulder injury.

Performance Before Injury

  • Mike Evans had no receptions on four targets.
  • He did manage to draw a critical 23-yard pass interference penalty against defender Rock Ya-Sin.

As the Buccaneers navigate the remainder of the season, Evans’ health will be a primary concern. Fans and team officials alike are hoping for a speedy recovery.
