Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) was spotted at practice on Tuesday, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. The veteran wideout has been on Injured Reserve since Week 7 with a broken collarbone, but he practiced in a limited capacity on Monday and was apparently on the field in some capacity on Tuesday. Evans could make his return in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Multiple injuries have limited Evans to just four games so far in 2025. Across those contests, he's recorded 14 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets. While Evans would likely re-assume his WR1 status in Tampa Bay upon his return, the Buccaneers could choose to work him in slowly, given his extended absence. Fantasy managers should check back throughout the week to see if he's able to get in a full practice before Thursday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers OG Ben Bredeson (knee), LB SirVocea Dennis (hip), S Christian Izien (neck), TE Cade Otton (knee), LB Haason Reddick (ankle) and S Tykee Smith (neck, shoulder) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 6. WR Mike Evans (collarbone), WR Chris Godwin (fibula), WR Jalen McMillan (neck) and OT Tristan Wirfs (oblique) were limited during practice. RB Bucky Irving (shoulder), QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder), CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) and S Rashad Wisdom (quadriceps) fully participated in practice. The Buccaneers only held a walkthrough Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Evans resumed practicing last week for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 7, but he was held out of the upset loss on Sunday to the New Orleans Saints. Even with a short week upcoming on Thursday night versus the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, Evans has a real chance to come off Injured Reserve to make his return in Week 15. Fellow wideout Jalen McMillan (neck) is also in play to make his 2025 debut this week, so the Bucs could be getting some key pass-catchers back as they try to win the NFC South division in the final four weeks of the season. The 32-year-old Evans is a future Hall of Famer, but he'll be very risky as a starter in fantasy lineups this week if he's active with the Bucs potentially looking to limit his snaps following a lengthy absence.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) was limited during practice Monday, Dec. 8. The Buccaneers only held a walkthrough Monday, so this is an estimation.

Fantasy Spin: Head coach Todd Bowles said Evans has a chance to play in Week 15, so fantasy players will need to see if he will be activated from the Reserve/Injured list before the game. He may not see his normal workload right away since he has missed extended time but can be at least a flex option when he returns.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) is reportedly in play to return to action on Thursday night, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Evans was able to return to practice and log a week of limited participation last week after breaking his collarbone and suffering a concussion in a Week 7 loss to the Lions. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Thursday night, and with Evans limited to only four games this year, he sits at 140 receiving yards on the season with only one total touchdown. Unless the Buccaneers force-feed him targets to the tune of 215 yards per game, his impressive streak of 1,000-yard receiving seasons will come to an unceremonious end in Year 12.

There is a possibility that Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) could play in Week 15's game versus the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, Dec. 11, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. If he is not ready to return by then, it appears realistic that he could play in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Spin: Evans has been sidelined since Week 7, when he sustained a broken clavicle in the game against the Detroit Lions. He participated in all three of Tampa Bay's practice sessions on a limited basis over the past week and can be considered a flex candidate for fantasy leagues upon his return to action.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) appears to be on the verge of returning to game action. Evans has been sidelined since breaking his collarbone in Week 7. Before that, Evans missed three games due to a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout hasn't really made an impact on the field since Week 3. He returned to practice this week but was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Evans is pushing to suit up for next week's Thursday Night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. His return would be a significant boost for Tampa Bay's offense down the stretch of the season. If he's not able to play on Thursday, Evans would more than likely return versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Evans as he's expected to return for the fantasy playoffs. Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Tez Johnson will continue to see an increase in targets while Evans remains out.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) were limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, but have been ruled out for Week 14. S Rashad Wisdom (quadriceps) fully participated in practice but has been ruled out. OT Tristan Wirfs (oblique) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. WR Chris Godwin (fibula) and LB Lavonte David (non-injury) were limited during practice but is not on the injury report. RB Bucky Irving (shoulder), QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) and LB Haason Reddick (ankle) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Friday that wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) will not play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints in Week 14, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Evans returned to practice this week for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 7, but he's just not ready yet. The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer could be ready to go next Thursday night against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, though, depending on how much progress he can make early next week in practice. The Bucs could ease Evans back into the fold when he's ready, but he absolutely needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues for his ability to help carry teams in the fantasy playoffs, which start in most leagues next week. With Evans and Jalen McMillan (neck) out another week, Tampa will move forward with Chris Godwin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka as their top wideouts, with Sterling Shepard and Tez Johnson battling for WR3 duties.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) won't play in Week 14.

Fantasy Spin: He should be good to go for Week 15 after he had a good week of practice. Tez Johnson is the WR38 in non-PPR formats and will be a flex candidate against the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs (oblique) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 4. WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) were limited during practice. WR Chris Godwin (fibula), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder), QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder), CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring), LB Haason Reddick (ankle) and S Rashad Wisdom (quadriceps) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Evans was cleared to return to practice this week, so he seems unlikely that he will be available for the Week 14 game. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation but should not expect Evans back in the lineup for another week or two.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone), who remains on Injured Reserve after breaking his collarbone in Week 7, was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, according to Sara Palczewski of Louisiana First News. Evans is trying to get back up to speed after having his 21-day practice window opened this week. Although the 32-year-old future Hall of Famer has been out for an extended period, he has a real chance to make his return for a Week 14 divisional matchup against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. When he's back to full speed, Evans should be Tampa's No. 1 receiver, although he has more competition for targets than ever with Chris Godwin Jr. also back and rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka involved. If Evans returns in Week 14, he could be on a snap count, which would make him pretty volatile as a fantasy play in his first game back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (clavicle) was back at practice on Wednesday and Thursday and has a "real chance" to make his return in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Evans has missed five games after suffering a broken clavicle during Tampa Bay's Week 7 loss against the Detroit Lions, but he is on track to be activated from Injured Reserve and play on Sunday. The 32-year-old wideout recorded 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets in four games before being placed on IR, and he would immediately slot in as the Bucs' top option in the passing game alongside Chris Godwin Jr. and rookie Emeka Egbuka. Evans should be scooped up immediately if he's somehow available on your league's waiver wire.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (clavicle) was seen practicing with the team on Thursday, according to Pewter Report. His status during the session has not yet been detailed. The veteran made his way back to the practice field this week as Tampa Bay gears up for a home clash with the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Evans hasn't suited up for in-game action since sustaining a fracture in his clavicle back in Week 7, although it appears he's inching closer toward being activated from IR. While the capacity in which he practiced hadn't been divulged, it's encouraging to see him out there for a second straight day. If the 32-year-old is unable to suit up for Week 14's outing with New Orleans, teammates Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Tez Johnson would continue operating in 11 personnel, with Sterling Shepard mixing in as the fourth option.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) was spotted lined up against CB Jamel Dean in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.

Fantasy Spin: There's a real chance Evans returns this week against the New Orleans Saints. He's a flex candidate upon returning because of his prowess in the red zone. You could see this game being a blowout, though, which could limit his snaps.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs (oblique) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3. WR Mike Evans (collarbone), WR Chris Godwin (fibula), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder), QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) were limited during practice. CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring), LB Haason Reddick (ankle) and S Rashad Wisdom (quadriceps) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Fantasy Spin: Evans has missed most of the season because of the injury, so he likely will need at least a week of practice before he plays in a game. Fantasy players can monitor his status during the week but should not count on him playing in Week 14.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) was listed as limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Evans has made good progress since breaking his collarbone in Week 7, but the Bucs will re-evaluate him later this week before determining if they'll activate him from Injured Reserve so that he can play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer should not be floating around on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues, even if Tampa decides to wait another week to activate him. The six-time Pro Bowler will break a ridiculous streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons due to injuries this year, but he still has the potential to be a difference-maker for fantasy managers in the playoffs. Evans' impending return is more bad news for slumping rookie first-round wideout Emeka Egbuka.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) is doing well physically and has been running, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. The Bucs will now see how Evans handles contact and running routes in practice this week before they decide whether to activate him from Injured Reserve to have him play this Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer broke his collarbone back on Oct. 20 against the Detroit Lions and has been sidelined ever since. While Evans might not be ready to play this weekend, fantasy managers should be adding him ASAP off the waiver wire if he's available, as he could be a difference-maker in the fantasy playoffs from Weeks 15-17. Before his injury, Evans had caught 14 of 32 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown.
