Evans had an early exit from Tuesday's first voluntary minicamp practice session, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

The Bucs' No. 1 receiver headed to the locker room shortly before coach Dirk Koetter cut practice short by about 10 minutes due to heat concerns on an 82-degree afternoon. Evans had just exerted himself on a catch-and-run of about 60 yards when it appeared he became overwhelmed with the temperature. "I didn't really catch what happened there," Koetter said. "Mike made a double move and he made a nice catch and he ran about 60 yards with the ball and it looked like he did get a little overheated. Again, first time they've had their helmets on and if you've ever put a helmet on in an 85 degree day, it's a little bit different feeling. I'm not exactly sure what happened to Mike there at the end. They told me it wasn't serious and I'm sure he'll be good to go tomorrow."
