Is Mike Evans playing vs. Falcons? Buccaneers make call on star WR

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers knew that star receiver Mike Evans would be a slow burn in his return from a broken collarbone.

But after being involved in practice over the last week, excitement was building that Evans might return against the Atlanta Falcons tonight to kick off Week 15.

While there were positive comments from head coach Todd Bowles on Evans this week, we still weren't sure if Evans would take his place, given that it is a short week.

But as the Buccaneers dropped their inactives list, Evans wasn't on it. So that's a good sign.

And then the Buccaneers' social media team confirmed what we all had hoped.

No. 13 is a full go tonight.
