Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will be active for the Week 15 Thursday Night Football home game against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Evans has shown everything he needed to show in practice this week for him to make his return, per Greg Auman of FOX Sports.

Evans has been sidelined since Week 7 after suffering a broken clavicle in the 24-9 road defeat to the Detroit Lions. He was expected to be out for most of the regular season. Evans will be back on the field less than two months later, a big boost to the Buccaneers’ offense.

Evans, 32, has hauled in 14 passes for 140 yards and a score in four games this season. Last season, Evans posted his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard campaign, tying Jerry Rice for the most consecutive seasons of such. Obviously, that streak will come to an end in 2025.
