Mike Evans injury: Buccaneers "optimistic" but game-time decision

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are optimistic about Mike Evans playing today but will make the final call at game time, according to Ian Rapoport. Evans is recovering from a preseason hamstring strain that kept him out of practice and the last two preseason games. He missed all but the Friday practice this week, but he was optimistic

If Evans plays, he'll still be limited by his hamstring and is unlikely to be 100%, but he still has a good chance to have a big game against the Titans today. Their top cornerback Jason McCourty almost certainly won't play, while the number two cornerback Perrish Cox is listed as questionable with a hip injury.
