The Buccaneers won’t put receiver Mike Evans on injured reserve immediately, hoping he can return after the off week for the Nov. 24 game against the Giants, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Evans is expected to miss the next three games, Stroud adds.

The Bucs play the Falcons, Chiefs and 49ers before their off week. As the story added, Evans aggravated his hamstring injury on a dropped pass in the end zone in the first half Monday night. With Godwin expected to be out for the year with a dislocated ankle, the Bucs WR group has got a whole lot smaller, and it now leaves Shepard, McMillan and Palmer as the team's top three. While any of the three can be picked up off waivers with the potential to produce fantasy points, it's three pretty tough matchups on the horizon for the Bucs.
