Pending an appeal, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans for Sunday’s home opener against the Green Bay Packers.
Evans was suspended by the NFL for his role in an altercation during Sunday’s 20-10 win over the New Orleans Saints. Evans was ejected from the game, as was Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
Bucs head coach Todd Bowles reacted to the situation Monday, making it clear that it’s teachable moment for his players.
“We don’t want any fighting in our game because if we lose a good player, it doesn’t help our team,” Bowles said.
