ET<\/p>\n<p>Pewter Report is reporting that the team fears Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans broke his collarbone and will miss significant time \u2013 possibly the rest of the season. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Evans\u2019 injury in his post-game press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has a broken clavicle and he will be out mostly towards the end of the year,\u201d Bowles said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens, but he broke it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This injury all but ends Evans\u2019 attempt at breaking Jerry Rice\u2019s record of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Both Evans and Rice are tied for that record with 11 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>What was a disappointing Monday night for the Bucs only got worse in the second quarter in the Week 6 matchup against the Lions.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to get points on the board, quarterback Baker Mayfield launched a ball deep to wide receiver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/E\/EvanMi00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mike Evans<\/a>, who was making his return after dealing with a hamstring injury. After making an effort to come down with it, the pass fell incomplete with Evans staying on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran star wideout was obviously in a lot of pain, leaving to the locker room on a cart. Immediately, he was ruled out for the rest of the game with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BuccaneersComms\/status\/1980429411750146209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a concussion and a shoulder injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Evans\u2019 loss only amplified what was largely a hard-to-watch primetime game.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Evans\u2019 Latest Injury Hurts Bucs\u2019 Offense, All But Ends His Chance At History<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that Mike Evans is an important part of the Bucs\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1520554\" class=\"wp-image-1520554 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Evans-Mike-Bobby-Slater-Bucs-Lions-hurt-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Bucs Wr Mike Evans\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" title=\"Breaking: Mike Evans' Injury Feared To Be Season-Ending 2\"   loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1520554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bucs WR Mike Evans \u2013 Photo by: USA Today<\/p>\n<p>Even with the emergence of rookie sensation Emeka Egbuka, Evans was supposed to be a key factor in Detroit. Instead, Evans had no receptions despite being targeted four times, and now there is concern about him missing the the rest of the season \u2013 and it all but ends his chance at making NFL history. After only registering 14 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown in the first three games of the 2025 season, he still needs another 860 yards to get to his 1,000 yards this season to pass Jerry Rice for the most consecutive such seasons in NFL history.<\/p>\n<p>Now, hitting that mark looks all but impossible, especially if Evans is out for the season, which is possible if he does have a broken collarbone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewterreport.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PewterReport.com<\/a> will have more of an update on Mike Evans following Monday night\u2019s game and throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jorgensenlawoffice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1520301 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jorgensen-Law-1280x720-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Jorgensen Law\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"Breaking: Mike Evans' Injury Feared To Be Season-Ending 3\"   loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Jorgensen Law, P.A. \u2013 Champions Of The Injured &amp; Disabled<br \/>Call (727) 347-7733 Or Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/JorgensenLawOffice.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">JorgensenLawOffice.com<\/a> For A FREE Case Evaluation<br \/>Personal Injury \u2022 Workers\u2019 Comp \u2022 Social Security<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UPDATED AT 10:40 P.M.
