The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hopeful that star wide receiver Mike Evans can return for the playoffs.

On Sunday, Evans would have to leave the field after he went down with a non-contact left knee injury in the first quarter of the Bucs’ 44-27 home victory over the Falcons in Week 17.

The injury occurred on the play after Evans secured a record-breaking 20-yard reception.

An MRI found no structural damage to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver, as reported by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.

I can confirm @JayGlazer’s report that Mike Evans’ MRI revealed no structural damage to his knee. I’m told that’s it’s too soon to tell whether he plays this week. They will wait and see as the week goes on. But they are hopeful.
