Mike Evans injury: Buccaneers receiver practices, likely to play

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are likely to have Mike Evans back on the field on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, as the receiver hasn't missed a practice this week. Although he was limited and Lovie Smith has a history of being very careful with hamstring injuries, the fact that Evans was close to playing last week and he feels 100% means he's likely to suit up on Sunday.

Which should be good news for the Bucs, who dearly missed him against the Titans. Winston targeted his replacement Louis Murphy three times but couldn't connect once, and managed only three completions to receivers not named Vincent Jackson.
