Mike Evans Returns, Freddie Martino Waived

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has served his one-game suspension and will return to active status this week. As such the team had to make room for Evans on the 53-man roster, and they did so Monday by waiving wide receiver Freddie Martino. Martino had been promoted from the practice squad last week specifically to take Evans' spot in the Buccaneers' five-man receiving corps.

Martino made the most of his short time on the active roster, turning in a pair of tackles on special teams, one of which dropped New York Jets return man JoJo Natson at the 18-yard line on the opening kickoff.
