Bucs' Evans suffers broken clavicle in MNF loss to Lions
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will be out for most of the season after breaking his clavicle in Monday's 24-9 loss to the Detroit Lions, head coach Todd Bowles announced postgame, according to NFL Network's Clayton Holloway.
Evans suffered the injury while attempting to catch a pass in the second quarter. He was carted to the locker room and initially ruled out with a shoulder injury and concussion.

He failed to catch any of his four targets before exiting Monday.
The contest was Evans' first back in uniform since sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 3. The 32-year-old caught 14 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown prior to being sidelined.
The injury will almost certainly end Evans' streak of 11 straight seasons with 1,000-plus receiving yards.
Monday's loss dropped the Buccaneers to 5-2.
