Well, for a little while.

I’m guessing after the bye

They seem to think it’s mild so maybe he only misses a week

So glad I didn't trade for him this week,I have a feeling it's a multi week thing.

I wonder if this is related to the hip flexor/quad injury week 1 or 2?
I am wondering if he guts it out, lets see what the imaging shows

Jeez, he's out, Godwin out, welcome back Mike!

Wonder if the quick outs for both is they know Evans will return.

Just to qualify this the Bucs have a bye week 9.

Where are the Bucs beat writers at? Absolute crickets on the Tuesday MRI results.
I'm assuming we won't see him until week 10, after their bye week. But I'm kind of expecting he's locked and loaded coming out of the gates for week 10. Is that a mistake? He hasn't hit IR, so I'm thinking that no news is good news on the original prognosis(?)

They don't play until Monday night so they won't have a traditional practice until today. I believe he's already been ruled out for this week? I don't think they'll push him and would expect a return for week 10 as well.

Unless this was a really bad strain, I expect him back in week 10 ready to go.
Not on MFL. It seems like they know he won't play but they haven't actually ruled him out officially.

You hit the nail on the head
With what Egbuka has done the first 5 games , you can't take any chances
I think it's one of the more exciting rookie WRs we've seen
He was on pace for like 1,500/15 TDs, now granted he did much of this with 2 starting WRs OUT
It's scary what the Bucs might have a little later in the season when they get Evans, Egbuka and eventually Godwin on the field at the same time
Honestly, there might some other WRs further down the depth chart than just the 3 we are discussing here...I kinda want to see some more of Tez Johnson,
Locals in Tampa were hyped on him, perhaps it was the camp reports but we got a taste of what he can do last week, insane catch stretching out to grab it in the end zone
I do not have a good feeling about Detroit, I really will be quite surprised if the Bucs march in there and beat them
I'm not saying there is no chance but I think it's gonna be a monumental uphill game for them and they are missing a lot of weapons at WR and RB
I just hope Baker makes it off the field in one piece, I don't care about the W/L as much this week, they'll spank the Saints next week and be 6-2 going into the Bye
Every Bucs fan would have signed up for that to start the season
And I think they will be even better 2nd half of the season when players return from injuries

Rappaport:
“My understanding is that it’s not quite as serious as say Mike Evans, but he is expected to miss some time,” Rapoport said. “He is expected to miss this week. Sterling Shepard is going to be even more important than he already was.”

Although there’s very little chance he plays this week, this is positive news.

Probably still a big ask to play this week, but maybe just misses 1 game. Be pretty great if he was playing against NO next week.

Do we really risk him reagravating his injury in-game if he tries to play through it.
You know he has to be thinking of rookie wr records. Shocked he practiced in some form today.

If he’s playing, I’m playing him. My alternatives are craaazy.

If they feel he’s healthy enough, he’ll play. They have a better chance to win.

I wasn't actually at practice. I own zero shares of this guy. I think I'd use the term kinda practiced kinda loosely. Twitter is great for practice videos. Haven't seen a video of him actually with his helmet on. Lots with him walking and carrying it. Appears he did a lot of walking and looked to jog a bit briefly. Super encouraging for the following week, but I'd put it at not playing this week. Very very encouraging news though considering where we were at with him just a few days ago. He has youth so that's good. What do I know though.
Bowles said four players are ruled out for Monday -- WR Mike Evans, RB Bucky Irving, G Luke Haggard, RB Josh Williams. Practice squad G Mike Jordan has made progress and is in play to be elevated and play vs. Lions.
Bucs coach Todd Bowles said WR Emeka Egbuka was limited with a hamstring injury but practiced Saturday. He said Egbuka is a game time decision.

Is that right, Evans and not Godwin?

Greg Auman, who actually tweeted this has already posted it was a typo. He meant Godwin out not Evans
Grahamburn

No. That blurb is incorrect. Godwin is out. Evans practiced today.

Great if he plays but terrible if he aggravates it and knocks himself out a month.
Being on Monday is rough for fantasy though with 2 games a little helpful and pending league format you could probably back him up with a Johnson or Shepard possibly.
Problem for me is in 1 league I already have Harrison on the bench and Egbuka on bench and would need to take out Worthy or Diggs with the backup plan being Chubb.

Thanks.
And a great example of why I always ask folks to include the link (like @Doubles did).
Let's us all stay on the same page for who said what.
Good job y'all.

Him or Jame-O on Monday. Nice problem to have. Hope he sits.

I actually have to wait for Yahoo to declare Bowers out to put him on IR to PU Jamo as a hedge for either Evans or Ebuka. If both Tampa WRs are active it will be a MNF coin flip.
Smack Tripper

Dang I'd be nervous to start him but that Lions secondary, you have to risk it, even if he's 70 percent
FarFromHome
Footballguy
Just my uneducated and humble opinion, but I think he is a decoy up until game time. Then he is inactive. This is the way.
Counterpoint, what if he just really did suffer as minor a hamstring injury as you can? Like, if he's healthy, why sit him?
This is week is probably pushing it, as he only had 1 limited practice, but I see no reason to sit him against NO next week, if he's able to practice all week, just because they have a bye, and they SHOULD beat NO.

Then you're ultra conservative and probably no worse than 6-2 anyway with a definitely healthy Egbuka instead of a marginally greater chance of being 7-1 and risking the health of your new #1 wr that would actually impact the rest of your season.
No matter what - the good news is that it's not a bad pull at least yet. He practiced.
Steelers Ramsey had the same thing. It was multi-week until it wasn't.
I got this happening right now.

This is a potential tie breaker in the NFC. If guys can play they should play.
You can’t just throw away games in this league.
