Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans suffered an injury early in the second quarter against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. The star wide receiver left the game and went to the locker room. He has not returned to competition.

Evans is off to an excellent start to the 2024 season, and his absence will result in a significant loss for the Buccaneers' high-powered offense.

Here's the latest on the status of the Buccaneers wideout:

Mike Evans returned to the game two minutes into the second quarter. The team has not provided an update on what prompted the wide receiver to go to the locker room at the start of the quarter.

Evans went to the locker room immediately after an interception by Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay's Week 6 game against New Orleans.

Evans left the game with 12:25 left in the second quarter with Tampa Bay leading 17-10.

Mayfield was intercepted by Paulson Adebo, and Evans was possibly injured on the interception return. Evans chased Adebo for 15 yards before being knocked down.
