Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans limped off the field late in the first quarter of the Buccaneers’ regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Evans appeared to hurt his left knee trying to catch a throw to the end zone from Tom Brady, slipping on the turf. The injury occurred one play after Evans made a 20-yard reception that made him the first player in NFL history to begin a career with seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
The receiver was eventually helped to his feet and limped toward the tunnel to the locker room with assistance from a trainer.
