According to Rick Stroud on Twitter, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was absent from practice during the portion that was available to media.
This is a noteworthy absence for a player who said he expects to play this Sunday. While there is still another day left for him to get in a limited session, his absence on a Thursday suggests that fantasy managers may want to start preparing contingency plans. Evans was already slated to draw coverage from one of the top shadow corners in the league in Marshon Lattimore, so a return to practice would be helpful for those looking to start him in Week 1. There is a chance that they let him test out the hamstring pre-game before making a final decision on his status for this weekend, so this is a situation to continue to monitor.
