Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will have an MRI to determine the severity of a hamstring injury he sustained Sunday in a win over the New Orleans Saints, ESPN reported Tuesday.
It is believed to be a mild hamstring injury, per the report.
In four games this season, Evans has 20 catches for 337 yards and three touchdowns.
The Buccaneers have a Week 5 bye before returning to play on Oct. 15 against the Detroit Lions. Having the week off could bolster Evans' chance of playing, especially if the injury is mild as believed.
Evans, 30, was the No. 7 overall draft pick in 2014. In his first nine seasons with the Bucs, he has nine straight 1,000-yard seasons -- the most ever to start a career. Only Pro Football Hall of Fame member Jerry Rice has more with 11 (1986-96).
Evans is a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
