The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Already set without stud receiver Chris Godwin (Tendon) For the Thursday night showdown Chicago Bears, And they are also at risk of losing a fellow wideout Mike Evans (Ankle) Also for this match. Fortunately Tom Brady And the company, Evans will actually play in the Week 5 opener. Not only that, but Tampa Bay is also recalling Leonard Fournet for the game.
It was the biggest surprise of the night when looking inactive for the Buccaneers, because Fournett was originally listed as suspicious to play tonight due to an ankle injury that did not put him in good practice. Fox Sports’s Jay Glazer mentions the pregame, which is used only in emergency situations. Meanwhile, Evans, who has not practiced all week, has been officially labeled as questionable for the game.
The receiver was seen as a real game-time decision and pregame reports stated that Evans had done some cutting pregame and was likely to test his ankles. This night paved the way for him to stay active. While he may not be 100%, the 27-year-old did not have full strength last week and received 122 yards in seven receptions, including a six-yard touchdown grab from Brady.
According to football outsiders, Evans will now face Chicago Secondary. In the first quarter of the 2020 season, the Bears allowed ninth-lowest yards through the air. Top Receivers (Calvin Ridley, 110 yards in 3rd week) were able to enjoy a strong outing against their second, so Evans was not an impossible obstacle to overcome even though he was hurt.
As for Fournet, he missed the game against Los Angeles last week due to an ankle injury. After the Week 2 match against Carolina he is entering his 3rd week with the potential for a breakout brew, where he will run for 103 yards and two touchdowns.
Elsewhere in the offense, fellow receiver Scotty Miller was also at Tampa Bay, where he caught five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown last week against Los Angeles, for this match and after being listed in question with a hip and groin injury.
