NEW ORLEANS -- While Tampa Bay Buccaneers players have stated receiver Mike Evans’ involvement in Sunday’s skirmish against the New Orleans Saints helped galvanize the team, his one-game suspension means he won’t be available against quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in the Bucs’ home opener Sunday.
The Bucs are already without wide receivers Chris Godwin and Julio Jones, who are both dealing with hamstring injuries sustained in Week 1 at the Dallas Cowboys, along with a knee injury that lingered for Jones.
