"DETROIT -- Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury during the second quarter of Monday night's game against the Detroit Lions and did not return to the 24-9 Tampa Bay loss. Evans was carted to the locker room after Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin tackled him to the turf on a deep pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield. Evans' head hit the turf as he and Ya-Sin went tumbling to the ground. Ya-Sin got up immediately and was uninjured."
"Evans laid on the field for several seconds after the play, grimacing but motionless while Mayfield stared in disbelief. Tight end Cade Otton, running back Rachaad White and left tackle Tristan Wirfs huddled around Evans as he was being attended to by the athletic training staff, with rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka kneeling at his side. Then, Bucs longtime defensive captain Lavonte David and coach Todd Bowles walked onto the field to check on Evans while his offensive teammates returned to the huddle. Evans needed additional time and assistance before leaving the field."
