Veteran wide receiver Mike Evans sustained a concussion and a shoulder injury during Monday night’s game against the Detroit Lions, dealing a major blow to the Tampa Bay Bucs’ offense as the unit was already struggling on the night.

In the second quarter, Evans reached out for a catch on a deep throw from quarterback Baker Mayfield and came down hard on his shoulder. He was on the ground for a while and immediately showed signs of dizziness after needing help getting up from the trainers. He was evaluated on the sideline and subsequently placed in concussion protocol. The shoulder impact appeared significant as well, and team officials confirmed the dual injury shortly after.

Evans has been a reliable target throughout his career, and his absence could ripple through Tampa Bay’s game plans as they were looking forward to having the veteran receiver back after missing time with a hamstring injury.

We’ll await further word from team officials and hope the injury is not as serious as it appeared.

**UPDATE**
After the game, Todd Bowles told the media that Evans has a broken clavicle. This will end his streak, and place him for return at the tail end of the regular season. But that may be a bit optimistic.
