Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans entered the concussion protocol following Thursday's 43-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Evans left the game in the fourth quarter and did not return, undergoing evaluation. The wide receiver finished with 11 receptions, 150 yards, and two touchdowns, recording one of the best catches of the year.

Jameis Winston injured his knee after colliding with two Falcons defenders near the end zone and was deemed questionable to return. After the game, Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said Winston told him his knee is fine, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.
