Report: Mike Evans will have an MRI of the hamstring on Tuesday

The injury to Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin late in Monday night’s loss to the Ravens drew a lot of attention, but it wasn’t the only loss the Bucs suffered in their receiving corps.

Mike Evans came into the game with a hamstring problem, but he was able to catch a 25-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield in the first quarter. Mayfield looked Evans’ way again in the end zone later in the first half and Evans was left down after failing to make a catch while being hit by Ravens cornerback Brandon Stephens.

Evans aggravated the hamstring injury on that play and was ruled out. NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reports that Evans is set for an MRI on Tuesday as the team gathers more information on the extent of the injury.

Godwin is expected to miss the remainder of the season and any extended absence from Evans would force Mayfield and the rest of the offense to make some serious adjustments as they try to stay competitive in the NFC playoff race.
