Mike Evans’ season may not be completely over, but his 1,000-yard streak certainly is.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles announced after the team’s 24-9 loss to Detroit that the wide receiver had been diagnosed with a broken collarbone. He will miss most of the remaining regular season games, even though the team did not end the season due to injury.
Evans, drafted in the first round in 2014, has never had fewer than 1,000 yards in a season.
His 11 consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons to start a career is an NFL record. Evans kept the streak going last season with 1,004 yards in 14 games.
He has only played four games this season and has 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown.
Evans was just returning from a hamstring injury Monday night, but was unable to make it to the second half.
Evans landed on his right shoulder and his head bounced off the turf with 5:00 left in the first half. He was removed from the field and ruled out due to a concussion in addition to his right shoulder injury.
