The Facts: Evans “tweaked” his hamstring on Friday. For now, the Bucs don’t seem to be overly concerned about it. “He’s sore,” coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Saturday. “He’s day-to-day. He’ll be fine. It’s just a matter of when we put him out there.”
Diehards Line:
Reporters tried to pry for a little more information, regarding both the duration of the absence and whether he’ll play in the first preseason game. Bowles, with a consistent brevity of which Bill Belichick would be proud, continued to say simply that Evans is “day-to-day.” Evans has been a very durable player; he has missed only six total games in his eight-year career. He’s the only player in league history with eight straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career.
