During the press conference, Bowles indicated that both Evans and Wirfs are “in play” for the upcoming game. Their return would significantly bolster the Buccaneers’ offense.
Player Updates
- Mike Evans: The wide receiver has been sidelined since Week 7 due to a fractured clavicle.
- Tristan Wirfs: The left tackle was previously listed as questionable due to an oblique injury and was inactive for the game against the Saints.
- Jalen McMillan: Another wide receiver, McMillan, has missed the entire season due to a neck injury but was noted as a potential returnee as well.
Both Evans and McMillan participated in practice last week but will need to be activated from injured reserve prior to the Thursday night game. The return of these players could be crucial for the Buccaneers as they aim to secure a win against their division rivals.
