Mike Evans Suspended 1 Game For Brawl

NFL Week 2 - The NFL has officially handed out punishments for Sunday's brawl between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints, electing to suspend Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans for one game.

Evans was ejected from Sunday's game after coming off the bench to escalate an altercation between Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Lattimore and Evans have had previous exchanges over the last few years, dating back as early as 2017. Lattimore was not fined for his involvement in the fight.

"After a play had ended, you were walking toward your sidelines," wrote NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan in a memo released by the NFL.
