Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is active and will play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Evans sat out last week's season opener with a hamstring injury and was deemed questionable after three consecutive practices as a limited participant this week.

His return, alongside Vincent Jackson, puts the Buccaneers' receiving corps at full strength for a matchup with a thin Saints secondary.

Evans should be quick to reemerge as the No. 1 target for young quarterback Jameis Winston, building upon the standout rookie season he put together in 2014.
