Link to storyBuccaneers WR Mike Evans has been pushing to play as soon as Thursday night against the Falcons as he works himself back into football shape from the broken clavicle he suffered earlier this season. There's a chance he will play then, and if not, then the Sunday, Dec. 21 game at Carolina would be realistic.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Monday that Evans is in play for Thursday night's game. The veteran wideout has missed significant time this season due to injury. Early in the season, he missed three weeks with a hamstring injury, only for him to return in Week 7 and suffer the broken clavicle that landed him on injured reserve. His 21-day practice window was opened about a week ago, and he is working himself back to return to the field. It appears his efforts are paying off. Stay tuned. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) has a chance to be available for the Week 15 game, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: McMillan, who has yet to play this season after injuring his neck this summer, returned to practice last week, but he was not officially activated. He'll have a chance to return on a short week against the Falcons. |

Link to storyThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers have declared QB Connor Bazelak, CB Benjamin Morrison, OT Tristan Wirfs, OG Elijah Klein, S Kaevon Merriweather and DT Elijah Simmons inactive for Week 14.
Link to storyThere is a possibility that Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) could play in Week 15's game versus the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, Dec. 11, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. If he is not ready to return by then, it appears realistic that he could play in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs offense hasn't been as potent as hoped, but the return of Evans could help. If you held him through his stint on injured reserve, he could be available for Week 15 fantasy lineups. He'll be worth a WR3/Flex spot if he's active. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 14's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report despite being a full participant in all three of Tampa Bay's practice sessions held during the week.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs (oblique), who is listed as questionable, is not expected to play against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) said that his shoulder is getting better. '(It is) still one of those things that's going to take time, so hopefully I can put two of those in a row together,' Mayfield said Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: The shoulder injury comes down to pain tolerance, and Mayfield is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the league. He's been limited in practice this week, but he's going to play through the injury just like he did last week. The Buccaneers are going to be without Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan, but we still like Mayfield as a low-end QB1 against the Saints in Week 14. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: The injury Mayfield sustained in Week 12 is to his non-throwing shoulder. He played through it last week and will do so again in Week 14. Hopefully by Week 15, Mayfield will have his full complement of receivers back, helping him regain the upside that made him a plug-and-play QB1 last year. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Irving returned last week and immediately regained his workhorse role. Fire him up as an RB1 this week. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, but is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Godwin logged a full practice on Thursday, and there seems to be no concern about his limited participation on Friday. Godwin was clearly shaking off the rust last week, but he garnered enough volume to put him in the WR3 discussion this week against the Saints. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) has been ruled out for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: It's promising that McMillan was back at practice this week. He'll hope to recover in time for Week 15's matchup. When active, McMillan will likely fall behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans, making his path to fantasy relevance thin. Still, we saw him step up late last year amidst injuries, putting him on the radar as a stash in extremely deep leagues. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) won't play in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Evans was back at practice this week and hopes to make his return in Week 15. There are few IR stashes with as much upside as Evans. If he's available in your fantasy league, he should be a priority addition. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) was spotted lined up against CB Jamel Dean in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: Evans may return to the field in Week 14 against the Saints. He would need some time to shake off the rust, but Fantasy GMs can look to him as at least a 'what the heck' flex if he plays. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday, Dec. 3.
| Footballguys view: Evans could play in Week 14, but we have to see what his practice status is like later in the week. If he's out there against the Saints, Evans can be counted on as a deep flex play as he shakes off the rust. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) is expected to open his 21-day practice window Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) could return to practice this week, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Evans was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 22 after suffering a broken clavicle during the Bucs' Week 7 loss to the Lions. In his 12th season, Evans had caught 14 passes for 140 yards at the time of his injury. This is now set to be his first season without reaching 1,000 yards receiving in his career. Dealing with several injuries on their offense this season, the Bucs currently rank No. 17 in points scored and No. 21 in total yards. Evans would undoubtedly be a factor down the stretch if cleared. We'll be watching for more. |
