Mike Evans Unlikely To Play Saturday, If Active Likely To Be Ineffective

The star wide receiver for the Buccaneers is officially listed as questionable for the Wild Card game versus Washington. Evans did not practice the first two days, and in the final day today he's listed as a limited participant. This gives him a chance to play, but we think that chance is still slim. The likelihood is he does not play and if he is active, he would be more of a decoy, or red zone weapon. We think it's too much to ask just six days from the hyperextension and likely bone bruise for him to play and be effective. Thankfully, for the Bucs they signed Antonio Brown and have Chris Godwin outside, as well as Scotty Miller and Rob Gronkowski who can stretch the defense over the middle, especially with both Washington safeties out, and a pass coverage linebacker.
