Through six games this season, Evans has put up solid numbers, recording 310 receiving yards and five touchdowns, while also closing in on 100 career touchdowns—a remarkable milestone for the Bucs’ all-time leading receiver. His reliability and chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield have been critical to the team’s success. However, Evans has been battling minor injuries throughout the year, and whether he can maintain his typical dominant form while managing this hamstring issue is a major question.
If Evans is unable to suit up, Chris Godwin will likely take on an even larger role as the primary target for Mayfield, alongside other receivers like Trey Palmer and tight end Cade Otton. While Godwin has consistently been a playmaker, losing Evans could create challenges against a Ravens defense that will look to capitalize on any weaknesses in the Bucs’ offensive scheme. Bowles will need to adjust the game plan accordingly if Evans is sidelined, possibly leaning more on the run game or shorter, quick-hitting passes to keep the Ravens’ pass rush at bay.
As game day approaches, the big question is whether Evans can recover in time to make an impact. The Bucs will certainly miss his playmaking ability if he is ruled out, and fans will be anxiously awaiting updates on his status.
