Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, who has been listed as a game-time decision, will play in Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Washington Football Team, coach Bruce Arians told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Evans, who caught 70 passes for 1,006 yard and 13 TDs this season, returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant for the first time since suffering a hyperextended left knee that knocked him out of last week's game after the first quarter.
Evans could barely put any weight on his left knee after it bent backward in the end zone during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
