Evans suffered the injury during the Buccaneers’ 29-27 win over the New York Jets on Sunday - a victory that continued Tampa Bay’s 100% start to the NFL season.

He limped off the field and was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 3 game. Before exiting, Evans recorded four catches for 33 yards and a touchdown.

There’s some optimism surrounding his recovery, however. An MRI revealed a moderate strain, suggesting the injury isn’t as severe as initially feared.
