Bucs expect WR Mike Evans to return from injury vs. Giants

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Friday that wide receiver Mike Evans, the franchise's all-time leading scorer, will play Sunday against the New York Giants "as long as he's healthy and fresh."

Evans suffered a moderate hamstring strain in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens and missed three games -- tied for the longest absence of his career.

"It hurt to see your team out there fighting in really tough, close games that we could have won," Evans said. "I wish I could [have been] out there to help them.
