Mike Evans Exits With Hamstring Injury; MRI Scheduled

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to 3-0 with a 29-27 win over the New York Jets, but star receiver Mike Evans left late with a hamstring injury—limping off and not returning. Coach Todd Bowles called the early evaluation a “low‑grade” tweak and said Evans is scheduled for an MRI and further testing to determine the severity. Evans has a history of hamstring problems, having missed time in 2019 and 2024, which raises concern about his attempt at a 12th straight 1,000‑yard season and Tampa Bay’s passing attack. With Chris Godwin still out and depth questions, rookie Emeka Egbuka has stepped up; the team will closely monitor Evans’ MRI results ahead of their Week 4 game vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.
