Mike Evans is fresh off of a monster game in a losing effort for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night, but he is now in concussion protocol after taking a big hit in the game.
Evans caught 11 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Falcons. He took a big hit from Keanu Neal in the second half and was evaluated for a concussion afterwards.
The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports that Evans is in concussion protocol but is expected to practice on Monday:
Mike Evans and G Kevin Pamphile are in concussion protocol. Evans will practice Mon.

Evans leads the league with eight touchdown catches this season. Since the Bucs played on Thursday night, he has extra time to recover before the Bucs face the Bears on Nov. 13.
