One of the more amazing comeback stories of the 2025 NFL season belongs toTampa Bay Buccaneerswide receiver Mike Evans.
The veteran suffered a broken collarbone in Week 7 and was believed to be out for the rest of the year. However, he returned to the field last week and led the team with 132 receiving yards on six catches − despite playing just over half of the offensive snaps.
Evans could be a focal point again this week as Tampa Bay faces theCarolina Panthersin a showdown for control of the NFC South.
