Mike Evans speaks.

Mike Evans is a confident guy after training hard the past two weeks, so he said after practice today at One Buc Palace.

“I feel really good,” Evans said. “Obviously, the bye week helped. But I feel better than I did going into the Ravens game, so that’s a good thing.”

Evans added of the Ravens game in which he blew out his hamstring on a dropped touchdown pass, “I probably should have sat that one out.”

That was Oct. 21. Evans hasn’t played since. He’s expected to play Sunday in New Jersey against the Giants. Evans said it was rough being a spectator.

“It hurt seeing your team out there fighting really tough close games that they could have won and I wished I could be out there to help them,” he said. “So, you know, I’m excited to be back.”

Joe was pleased to hear Evans say how hard he’s been running the past couple of weeks with teammate Jamel Dean, who also was in hamstring recovery. Dean will start at cornerback Sunday after returning from the injured reserve list.

Evans said all that work has given him a lot of confidence.

Unfortunately, Joe didn’t hear Evans say, “I’m 100 percent.”
