Evans (quadriceps) isn't at practice Wednesday, making him unlikely to play in Friday's preseason game against Cleveland, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Unable to finish Sunday's practice, Evans now is absent from work for a third straight day. Coach Bruce Arians wasn't worried about the injury Monday, even leaving open the possibility of Evans playing in Friday's exhibition. That probably won't actually happen, but it's a good sign Arians even viewed it as an option.
