Evans was held out of Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Evans limped off the field late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 37-34 loss to Cincinnati, finishing with six catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets. There hasn't been anything to suggest he's dealing with a serious injury, but it's something that will need to monitored closely over the rest of the week. An absence for the Week 9 game at Carolina would free up more snaps for Chris Godwin and DeSean Jackson in an offense directed by newly installed starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Each of Evans' four touchdown receptions this season have come on Fitzpatrick passes, but the 25-year-old wideout has also been productive with Jameis Winston under center in the past.
