Is Mike Evans playing tonight? Bucs WR's status explored for Week 7 MNF showdown vs Ravens

Mike Evans is one of the NFL's most consistent wide receivers. Since being picked by the Bucs in 2014, the perennial Pro Bowler has had 10 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He is an important element of their offense and has had success with every quarterback, from Jameis Winston to Tom Brady and now Baker Mayfield.

Let's take a look at whether Evans will be available for tonight's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Is Mike Evans playing tonight?

Yes, Mike Evans is expected to play in tonight's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Evans started the week on the injury report and missed the first two practice sessions but ended the week as a limited participant in Saturday's training session.

According to Adam Schefter, Evans has been removed from the injury report for the MNF game against the Ravens, and he's good to go.

Hence, barring any setbacks, Evans will start. He'll line up with Chris Godwin as the Buccaneers look to record their fifth win of the season against the 4-2 Ravens.

How has Mike Evans performed this season?

Mike Evans has been productive in the 2024 NFL season, putting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in pole position to secure yet another playoff berth.

Evans has registered 25 receptions, 310 receiving yards and five touchdowns in six games. Evans has recorded two touchdowns in two separate fixtures, first in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders and then in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Buccaneers are performing admirably in 2024, recording wins against the Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders. Their losses this season have come against the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons.

The Buccaneers will have their work cut out as they host the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have a stacked offense led by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. The Buccaneers' defense must stay on their toes, as the Ravens have arguably the most fearsome quarterback and running back duo in the modern game.

It should be an interesting Monday night football in Tampa Bay.
