Mike Evans: Goal To Return For Giants Game
November 9th, 2024For weeks it has been speculated that Bucs future Hall of Famer Mike Evans might return from his hamstring injury Week 11 at the Giants, the Bucs’ first game after the bye on Nov. 24.
Evans confirmed that target day with Jenna Laine of ESPN today.
“It’s extremely tough,” Evans said of sitting out. “Obviously everybody knows the competitor that I am and they know I want to be out there with my team and help us win ball games, but I can’t rush it and I’ll be back when I’m back and hopefully that’ll be after the bye week and I’ll be myself.”
A couple of other nuggets Laine noted in her story:. It seems both Chris Godwin, who is likely out for the year after having ankle surgery, and Evans, are trying to stay involved in daily team activities.
Godwin, Laine typed, has become rookie Jalen McMillan’s big brother of sorts. He tries to coach him up and even developed a daily routine for McMillan to follow.
Evans said he makes sure he’s available for advice and guidance. He added he’s fired up to see guys like Cade Otton step up in the void and make plays.

Both Evans and Godwin are true team mates and decent people. No divas in this group.

Happy but not surprised Mike and Chris are staying involved helping the young guys 👍🏼

Mike is the man and Chris is right on his shoulder.They will re-sign Chris. Injury helped the Bucs. Not for Chris but he’s already rich but i gaurarentee (sp) he’ll be back. But Mike has made it great to be a Bucs fan. Lavonte! We have a great team. I love TB but I want another SB!! I’m selfish and I don’t care. Fan since 76.

If those two were on the field, Todd would have gone for 2 in the rain.

Mike’s 1000 yard streak is the only remaining reason to watch a game after the bye – unless a certain fraud has been redeployed tomorrow or Monday.

Yes. But yet a local expert who thinks of himself as a savant, says that the team’s performance is Jason’s problem. This poster would be the Lovie Smith of JBF.
Jason’s roster is good enough for an average HC with an average defense to be at least 6-3. With average game management skills, 8-1.
Mike and Chris are two beautiful examples. Fortunately they are enough removed from The Lovies to perform at their patented high level of excellence.

I 100% agree with you Dave Pear, it’s obvious that Bowles is the problem. The talent on this team is outstanding offensively and defensively. It’s the defensive scheme that is the problem and Bowles calling it. Also if Jason Licht knows we need a player he would go out and get one, it is Bowles who is telling him we can win with who we have so Licht is trusting him and staying put.

I hope the Bucs do the right thing and pay CG !

Mike and Chris are two of the best on and off the field. Their guidance with other players while being off the field is commended.

It’s a shame the 1k streak is ending, especially because it’s due to injury.
