Limited earlier in the week by a hamstring issue, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans practiced Friday and will play Sunday against the visiting Detroit Lions.
“Mike’s full-go,” Bucs coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday. “Mike fully participated and he looked good.”
Evans, 30, who leads the Bucs with 337 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season, injured his hamstring in the first half of a 26-9 win over the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 1. He used the bye week for treatment was limited in practice Thursday.
Linebacker Shaq Barrett sat out practice Friday with an illness and is listed as questionable, but Bowles expects him to play Sunday in a matchup of NFC division leaders.
Cornerbacks Jamel Dean (neck/shoulder) and Derrek Pitts (hamstring), linebackers Devin White (foot) and SirVocea Dennis (hamstring), tackle Luke Goedeke (calf), defensive tackle Calijah Kancey (calf), safety Ryan Neal (concussion) and linebacker Anthony Nelson (concussion) all practiced Friday.
The Lions ruled out seven players for the game: safety Brian Branch (ankle), running backs Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and Zonovan Knight (shoulder), guard Jonah Jackson (ankle), tight end James Mitchell (hamstring), cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (knee) and defensive lineman Josh Paschal (knee).
