In a welcome sight for both Buccaneers fans and fantasy football owners everywhere, wide receiver Mike Evans was back practicing on Monday according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.

It was his first practice since injuring his hamstring in Week 7.  Monday was a bonus practice for the Buccaneers, who are coming off their Week 11 bye.  Laine says Evans told her that he “could have tried to push it for Week 10 against the 49ers” but also added that Week 12 has always been his target return date. The Buccaneers will release their first official injury report on Wednesday, but it sounds like Evans is trending toward a return for Week 12’s game against the Giants.
