Bucs’ star wide receiver Mike Evans left the game with 1:06 remaining in the first quarter with a right hamstring injury. Evans scored a touchdown on the play where he was injured, burning right past Colts defender Pierre Desir on a go route for a 61 yard touchdown reception.
Evans limped into the end zone and then proceeded to lie on the ground before slowly walking off with trainers. Evans’ touchdown gave the Bucs a 14-10 lead in the first quarter. It was his eighth touchdown of the season. The Bucs then announced that Evans will be out for the remainder of the game.
