Today’s Bucs-Raiders injury report…Mike Evans and Bucky Irving still not practicing. Talked to Evans today though and he said, “I’m feeling good. Played close to 70 plays the last game. Felt…really good shape. I’m getting very close.”

We don't need to panic quite yet, but we're coming up against it if Evans and Irving don't practice on Friday. While the WR2s aren't particularly interesting, Rachaad White would be an easy click in Week 14 if Irving misses the game.

While Mike Evans’ return was the headline, rookie receiver Jalen McMillan also came back for the first time in a couple games. McMillan ended up leading all Bucs receivers in playing at 41 snaps and 63%. It’s evident they want to get him going and he’ll be important for the offense.

The report went on to say the Bucs seem like they have selected McMillan over Rakim Jarrett and Trey Palmer, with Shepard rounding out the trio of starting receivers in 11 personnel. McMillan didn't have much to show in his return despite the snaps, as he caught just one ball for 11 yards and was only targeted twice. Evans led the way for the WRs with a 5-68-0 line. The Bucs were in control most of the game and their RBs carried 28 times in total. RB Bucky Irving also broke out with a 6-64-0 receiving line on top of 87 yards rushing and a TD. All of the Tampa running backs scored rushing touchdowns and Baker Mayfield ran for one as well. It at least sounds like McMillan may get more chances in a different game situation.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans takes the field this morning for a bonus practice.

Laine reported Evans said he could have pushed to try and play in Week 10 against the 49ers but opted to take the extra time. The Bucs had a bye in Week 11 and Evans said that Week 12 after the bye has always been his target for a return. Evans will be a welcomed addition to the offense as the team sits at 4-6, trailing the first place Falcons who are 6-5. The return of Evans will push the rest of the WRs down the depth chart, likely leaving McMillan and Shepard as the rest of the top three.

Todd Bowles said Mike Evans is the only player ruled out — Greg Gaines and Jalen McMillan are the biggest question marks for Sunday vs. 49ers.

This wide receiver room is on the tipping point of being one of the worst in the league, so hopefully we see McMillan cleared in time. Outside of him, Cotton remains the only pass-catcher we can play with any certainty.

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.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said postgame that the "early indication" is wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered an ankle dislocation in the team's 41-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

"He's got an ankle, early indication is that it's dislocated," Bowles told reporters. "It doesn't look good."

Bowles did not say whether Godwin was transported to a hospital after the game. Though the exact severity and recovery time for the injury is not yet known, Bowles' words indicate that the Buccaneers might have to prepare to be without one of their star receivers for a significant amount of time, the story went on to say. The problem for the Bucs is Evans also left the game with a hamstring injury. Assuming Evans and Godwin are out, the team will have to go with Shepard, McMillian and Palmer as their likely top-three WRs. TE Otton could also be a big factor going forward and had a big game on MNF. You can also expect the Bucs to continue to involve their RBs in the passing game as White caught six balls for 71 yards and two TDs with Irving catching three for 54 yards.

#Bucs coach Todd Bowles said WR Mike Evans “tweaked” something in his leg that had been “nagging” but expects him to practice later this week.

Godwin was already a slam-dunk play in Week 7, but he could very well hit 15 targets if Evans misses. Beyond him, the rest of the receiver room would be (very) desperate plays.

Jalen McMillan lined up out wide on 7 of his 10 snaps on Sunday — good news for his potential to start early in three-WR sets.

With Evans on the outside and Godwin expected to be back in a full-time slot role this season, it leaves the other outside position up for grabs. Palmer flashed at times last season in the WR3 role, but, McMillan was drafted this past spring and looks to have a serious shot at taking that outside role, which would give him a boost in value heading into drafts.
