TAMPA, Fla. -- The status of Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver Mike Evans is up in the air for their wild-card game Saturday at Washington (8:15 p.m. ET, NBC) after hyperextending his knee Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. An MRI revealed no structural or ligament damage, sources told ESPN which seems nothing short of a miracle.
The Bucs are somewhat optimistic that the three-time Pro Bowler can play on Saturday, but they also indicated that they have to wait and see how his knee responds to treatment throughout the week.
