The Bucs’ offense is already going to be without some of their top weapons against Chicago on Thursday night, with wide receiver Chris Godwin and running backs Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy already ruled out, but the status of receivers Mike Evans and Scotty Miller remain up in the air.
Last Sunday against the Chargers, Miller played through a hip/groin injury that left him limited in the previous week’s practice and Evans returned to the game after briefly going to the locker room with an ankle injury.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport gave an update on the status of both Evans and Miller heading into Thursday night.
For tonight’s #Bucs–#Bears game, TB WRs Mike Evans (ankle) and Scott Miller (hip/groin) are listed as questionable & Miller is expected to play, I’m told. As for Evans, he’ll work out pre-game to test his ankle. There is optimism Evans can go, too, but the workout is key.
