Hold onto your seats, football fans, because Monday night’s game just got a whole lot more intriguing! Future Hall of Famer Mike Evans might be making his long-awaited return from a hamstring injury, but there’s a catch—he’s officially listed as questionable after fully participating in Saturday’s practice. Will he suit up for the Buccaneers’ Motor City clash against the Lions? Only time will tell. But here’s where it gets even more interesting: Evans isn’t the only one on the fence. Receiver Emeka Egbuka, also nursing a hamstring injury, is a game-time decision, adding another layer of uncertainty to Tampa Bay’s lineup. And this is the part most people miss—with just 140 receiving yards so far and 11 games left, Evans is facing an uphill battle to extend his remarkable streak of 1,000-yard seasons to 12. Has Father Time finally caught up with the NFL’s most consistent receiver? Let’s not forget the Buccaneers’ other absentees: Chris Godwin (fibula), Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder), Luke Haggard (shoulder), and Josh Williams (concussion) are all out. Plus, linebacker Lavonte David (knee/rib) and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (illness) join Evans on the questionable list. This game could be a turning point for Tampa Bay—or a wake-up call. What do you think? Can Evans defy the odds and keep his streak alive, or is this the season his dominance finally wavers? Sound off in the comments—we want to hear your take!
