TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans said it's been difficult being sidelined as Tampa Bay has dropped three straight games, including an overtime loss at Kansas City on Monday night.

Speaking for the first time publicly since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7, Evans told ESPN it "would have been close" for him to return this week at home against the San Francisco 49ers. Evans is hopeful to return after the Week 11 bye, when the Bucs visit the New York Giants in Week 12.
