Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Dealing with quad issue

Evans was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a quadricep injury.

Since late August, Evans has dealt with two different lower-body injuries, first to his groin prior to Week 1 prep before he suffered a hamstring issue Week 4. His availability for game days hasn't been affected, though, and he continues to put up massive numbers working with a new quarterback in Baker Mayfield. Overall, Evans is on pace for a 10th consecutive 1,000-yard season, considering he has 737 yards through nine contests. In the end, his practice reps will need to be monitored this week to make sure he isn't in danger of sitting out Sunday at San Francisco.
