Amid consistent <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-mike-evans-final-medical-update-week-12">injury issues to centerpieces Mike Evans</a>, Bucky Irving and Tristan Wirfs, Tampa Bay projects to have all three available for the second straight game.</p><p>Evans, Irving, Wirfs and second-year receiver Trey Palmer <a href="https://x.com/gregauman/status/1865065170499768821" rel="noopener">all participated</a> in the team’s final full practice of Week 14 on Friday, per Fox Sports’ Greg Auman. Their participation puts them all on track to play in Week 14 against the Raiders.</p><p>If Evans, Irving and Wirfs all take the field, Tampa Bay would have its full offensive arsenal — sans Chris Godwin, who remains out for the year — available. While Irving has yet to miss a game in his professional career, he has been a repeated name listed on the injury report as he deals with a nagging hip injury. Evans and Wirfs have both missed time in 2024 with their respective injuries.</p><p>Auman also noted that Baker Mayfield had no injury limitations despite suffering a scare in Week 13. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-baker-mayfield-thought-he-popped-achilles-panthers">Mayfield claimed he felt a “pop”</a> in his Achilles during the team’s win over the Carolina Panthers but managed to avoid a major injury. Nickelback Tykee Smith also practiced, but Auman noted that K.J.

The struggling Las Vegas squad enters the matchup at just 2-10, making them a particularly vulnerable team Todd Bowles needs to take advantage of in a tight race.</p><p>With just five games remaining in 2024, a single outcome could determine playoff results. The Buccaneers’ recent two-game win streak has coincided with the Falcons’ three-game losing streak to give the two teams even records. If Tampa Bay allows their momentum to slip away, so too could a shot in the playoffs.</p><p>Though the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints have both shown more life in recent weeks than they had earlier in the year, the NFC South has become a two-man race down the stretch. The Saints are two games behind the Buccaneers and Falcons at 4-8 and already own a lopsided loss to Tampa Bay in Week 6.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the Bucs have just a 4-6 record through their first 10 games, they have a fairly light schedule remaining ahead of them, and perhaps most importantly, they appear set to get <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-mike-evans-injuries-threatening-1000-yard-streak">star wide receiver Mike Evans</a> back on the field.</p><p>Evans picked up a hamstring injury back in Tampa Bay’s Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and he has been out ever since then. Week 12 was always viewed as a realistic return date for Evans, and while he’s listed as questionable for this game, he practiced three times throughout the week, indicating he should be able to play. However, if he does suit up, the Buccaneers could <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/42487849/nfl-week-12-predictions-fantasy-sleepers-upset-picks-stats-latest-buzz-2024" rel="noopener">have him on a snap count</a> in an effort to prevent him from re-injuring his hamstring.</p><p>“The Buccaneers hope to get receiver Mike Evans a healthy workload Sunday but will also monitor snaps in his return from a hamstring injury,” Jeremy Fowler on ESPN reported. “He will be out there on crucial downs, but Tampa Bay will be smart with him, too, depending on how he feels during the flow of the game. The Bucs had reduced Evans’ snaps even before the injury, as a way to keep the 31-year-old fresh. They can’t afford to lose him for multiple weeks again with a reaggravation, so hamstring fatigue will be considered.”</p><h2><b>Buccaneers playing it safe with Mike Evans’ hamstring injury</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Buccaneers-wide-receiver-Mike-Evans.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Considering how the Buccaneers also lost their other star wideout in Chris Godwin for the rest of the season during their loss to the Ravens, getting Evans back will be a huge boost for their depleted pass catching corps. However, the team doesn’t want to lose him again, which is why they are going to play it safe with him against the Giants.</p><p>Given how much of a mess New York is currently, Tampa Bay should be able to beat them with or without Evans, but this game figures to be the perfect opportunity for them to ease him back into the action. Evans will obviously have to be listed as active for this game first, but if he does end up playing, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him put up some big numbers, even if he is playing on a snap count.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Buccaneers face the New York Giants in Week 12, and get their best wide receiver back at a crucial time.</p><p>Evans, who has been out with a hamstring injury over the last three games, is looking healthy enough in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-mike-evans-returns-practice-week-12-giants-matchup">practice to step in and help the Buccaneers</a> out of a 4-6 slump. Amid Evans’ 1,000-yard season streak, the Pro Bowl route runner isn’t allowing himself <a href="https://www.buccaneers.com/news/tampa-bay-buccaneers-quote-sheet-11-22-24" rel="noopener">succumb to the pressure</a>.</p><p>“It’s there, Evans said, per the team website. Obviously, it’s going to be tough. It’s something that…Obviously, I’m thinking about a lot of other people. I’m just thinking about winning – playing winning ball. Things will happen. I’m trying to play and help the team win.”</p><p>There’s no question that the 31-year-old has become the key leader of the franchise, and his emphasis on team success over racking up 1,000 receiving yards for the 11th consecutive season speaks volumes. Sitting with 335 yards, Evans has some major ground to cover if he’s going to reach the milestone.</p><h2><b>Mike Evans, Buccaneers need a Week 12 victory</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Mike-Evans_7344ff.jpg"></figure><p>The Buccaneers are second in the NFC South despite their tough stretch, and their upcoming schedule certainly makes it a less daunting task to turn things around. They’ll begin their comeback with the Giants in Week 12, who’ve essentially given up all hope for the season at 2-8.</p><p>Tampa Bay trails the Atlanta Falcons who are not too far ahead at 6-5. Evans is going to be the key ingredient to get back on track against a New York pass defense that has been picked apart for most of the year.</p><p>Evans and the Buccaneers have a great chance at a win streak, with upcoming matchups against the Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Evans is the WR1 for the Buccaneers, and with the injuries they’ve had at the position, it should be a relief to see him back on the field. He is Baker Mayfield’s favorite target, and those two should be connecting with each other as they try to make a run into the postseason.</p><p>The Buccaneers are currently sitting at 4-6, and though it looks like they may be out of the playoff run, there’s a good chance they can sneak in at the end of the season. The Atlanta Falcons lead the division, but they’ve lost their past two games and have more tough teams on their schedule to finish the season. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have the easiest remaining schedule in the league, and if they can take advantage of that, while the Falcons potentially continue to slip, it may come down to the last game of the season to decide who wins the division.</p><p>The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers shouldn’t be a threat to making a run for the division, but anything can happen during this final stretch. With the Buccaneers getting healthy, this could be their last chance to go on a run, and it starts with handling business against the Giants. From there, they have to keep knocking out the teams that are in front of them.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
