Bucs' Mike Evans expects trash talk, physical play vs. Josh Norman

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said last week's game against the Carolina Panthers was "as poor as I've seen Mike [Evans] play in the whole time I've been here."

With cornerback Josh Norman and the Washington Redskins on tap Sunday (1 p.m. ET, Fox), what does that mean for Evans?

Against the Panthers, he managed one catch for 16 yards, tied for the fourth-lowest in his career. He has been dealing with a knee injury since the Bucs' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals the week prior, although it didn't impact his snap count against the Panthers.
