Overview
- Todd Bowles said Evans was limited in Thursday's session and will be monitored through the weekend after his first work since a Week 3 hamstring strain.
- Evans did not practice Friday, which beat reporters described as part of his routine rather than a setback, and he remains a candidate for Monday night.
- Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving are not expected to play, and Emeka Egbuka missed practice with a hamstring issue that is anticipated to cost him time.
- Tampa Bay kept Evans off injured reserve to preserve a quicker return window, with his 11-season streak of 1,000 yards in play after three missed games.
- Detroit's secondary is shorthanded, including a suspension for safety Brian Branch and multiple injuries at cornerback, raising the stakes if Evans is cleared.
