Barring any late injury or setback, Mike Evans is expected to be available against the Panthers. He has an unspecified status on the injury report, but there are signs that he will suit up for the Week 13 game.

Evans was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He was a limited participant on Friday but should play against Carolina.

Notably, Evans' hamstring has been worrying him for most of the season. The problem worsened during Tampa Bay's Week 7 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens. He exited the matchup and went on to miss three games.

Evans returned for the Buccaneers and faced the New York Giants in Week 12. He is likely to play again on Sunday on the road.

Evans has forged a strong partnership with Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield and the duo should again play a key role against Carolina.

How has Buccaneers WR Mike Evans fared this season?

Evans has had an impactful season for the Buccaneers. However, he has not been at his best and has yet to post a 100+ receiving yards game this campaign.

In eight games, Evans has racked up 403 yards and caught six touchdowns on 31 receptions. He is expected to improve on those numbers if he remains fit in the final stretch of the regular season.
