Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson (knee) missed practice again Thursday. With Jackson out, Mike Evans is going to see heavier usage. Rookie Donteea Dye caught one pass, a seven-yard TD, filling in for Jackson (and Louis Murphy, who is done for the season). The Buccaneers are going to have to make a couple of moves at the position. They have three rookie receivers on the practice squad: Adam Humphries, Rannell Hall and Evan Spencer. They also reportedly signed Andre Davis, though he's not listed on the team's official website. Jackson's absence creates a great opportunity for TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins if he can get healthy enough to play.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring, probable) took full practice reps all week and is probable for Week 3. Evans failed to catch a pass on three targets in a great matchup against the Saints in Week 2. He may have been rusty since he missed so much practice time, and it appears that Jameis Winston has a better rapport with Vincent Jackson. Evans says he won’t be on a snap count this week, which is good news.
