Bucs vs Ravens: Injury Analyst Expects Mike Evans to Miss 3-4 Games After Hamstring Setback

It was a big blow for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when Mike Evans re-aggravated his hamstring during the Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucs’ wide receiver was seething in pain after the injury he sustained while attempting to catch a ball in the second quarter.

Analyst Jeff Mueller posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he expected Evans to miss three to four games. That would rule him out crucial matchups against the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and the New York Giants.

Another injury analyst, Deepak Chona, also predicted a “multi-week absence,” much to the disappointment of Buccaneers fans.

Ironically, the catch which he received from Baker Mayfield, brought Evans to 100 career receiving touchdowns. However, he had not time to celebrate the milestone. Evans was seen hobbling on the sideline and was taken off the field immediately.

The injury, or the way he got hurt, could be an indicator that he was not fully fit for the game. And it has put the Bucs in a spot of bother as they lack experienced receiving options.

The game also saw Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers suffer an injury in the second quarter at the Raymond James Stadium. He sustained an ankle injury after being rolled up by Antoine Winfield.

With both wide receivers facing injuries, the Ravens-Buccaneers game have set things back for both the teams in terms of resources. Fans hope both Evans and Flowers will return to full fitness before crucial NFL matchups.
