TAMPA — Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans and running back Ronald Jones missed Monday’s practice, putting their status for this Friday’s preseason game against the Cleveland Browns into question.
Starters are slated to receive their most playing time of the preseason in Friday's Week 3 game, so if they don't play against the Browns, they might not play for the rest of the preseason.
Evans exited Sunday's practice early when he was holding his left quad area after making a nice catch on a deep ball down the sideline. He didn't return to practice and did not participate in the drills open to media on Monday.
