Tampa Bay will get its all-time receiving leader back as the team's season hangs in the balance, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will return to play in Sunday's tilt against the Giants after missing three games with a hamstring injury, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL GameDay Morning.

"My understanding is he looked excellent in practice, is expected to be full-go today," Rapoport said. "May not play his full complement of snaps though as they kind of ease him back. As far as speed, athleticism, looks like himself. Certainly something that will help the Bucs who need a win pretty badly."

Coach Todd Bowles said Evans was trending toward playing during the week, but fans will nonetheless be breathing a sigh of relief considering the star wideout managed just one full practice sandwiched between two limited sessions and entered the weekend with a questionable designation.
