Despite dealing with major injuries to some of their most impactful players, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers find themselves in the thick of the playoff hunt in the NFC. With the team battling to hold onto its playoff spot down the stretch, one key member of the offense is reportedly ready to return.
That would be star wideout Mike Evans, who is expected to return to practice Wednesday after breaking his clavicle in October. Evans reportedly healed faster than expected, and will have his 21-day practice window opened, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Evans, 32, was out to a bit of a slow start prior to the injury. In four games, the veteran had 14 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. Evans also missed time earlier in the year with a hamstring injury.
