Why isn’t Mike Evans playing for the Buccaneers against the Chiefs? MNF Week 9 injury status
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face a challenging Monday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, one of the most intimidating venues in the NFL.
Unfortunately, the Buccaneers will be without several key players, including wide receiver Mike Evans, long snapper Evan Deckers, and defensive tackle Greg Gaines. Despite these significant losses, the team made a strong effort in their previous Game against the Atlanta Falcons.
In that tightly contested 31-26 defeat, which left the Buccaneers with a 4-4 record for the season, quarterback Baker Mayfield showcased his skills by throwing for an impressive 330 yards. He connected for three touchdown passes but also threw two interceptions, ultimately contributing to the loss.
Cade Otton emerged as a standout performer in the Game, leading the receiving corps with 81 yards and two touchdowns.
What is the situation with the injuries at Bucs camp?
While Tampa Bay has boasted a 2-1 record away from home this season, they haven’t played an away game since October 13, which could impact their performance against a formidable opponent like the Chiefs.
As they prepare for this matchup, the Buccaneers must overcome their injuries and capitalize on any opportunities to secure a much-needed victory.
The Buccaneers' receiving corps is facing major challenges. Due to injuries, they will be without star wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Additionally, there is uncertainty surrounding WR Sterling Shepard, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, and RB Bucky Irving, who has a toe injury. Both players are questionable for the upcoming Game, which could further impact the team’s offensive strategies and overall performance.
