Buccaneers WR Mike Evans suspended for Week 3 game vs. Green Bay Packers

In a Week 2 victory against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans earned unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that led to his ejection. As shown in the video below, Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette pushed Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore when he stepped up to Tampa quarterback Tom Brady. After that exchange, Lattimore pushed Fournette back, leading to Evans joining in on the action with a two-hand shove that kicked off an on-field brawl.

On Monday, the NFL announced that they would be suspending Evans in Week 3, which was expected following his ejection.
