Mike Evans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver, suffered a broken clavicle and a concussion during a game against the Detroit Lions on October 20, 2025. He was injured while attempting to catch a deep pass and came down hard, hitting the side of his head and his shoulder on the turf. Evans appeared to briefly lose consciousness and was carted off the field, leaving the game and expected to miss most of the remainder of the 2025 season due to these injuries. This incident ended his streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, which is the longest in NFL history to start a career. Despite the severity, there is a potential timeline for his return, possibly as early as early to mid-December, allowing him to participate potentially in the playoffs. Until then, Evans will be out to recover from the broken clavicle and concussion sustained in this injury.
